Learn more about what is popular and what our DX customers are loving are right now. Here are our top 20 most popular engagement ring designs, shapes and metals.
The likes of Blake Lively and Paris Hilton have helped make this bold chic trend - the split shank - popular. Its unique band style pushes the boundaries of traditional jewellery style, makes your ring more striking and strengthens the overall setting.
It’s official: elongated shapes are in! The pear and oval shape are taking over magazines - not to mention the fingers of celebrities like Ariana Grande and Hailey Baldwin. As well as providing some variety from the classic round shape, one of the reasons people are drawn to them is the fact that they appear bigger than other diamonds of the same carat size and can also elongate the look of your finger.
Our Outré collection at DX was ahead of the curve with our horizontal settings, also known as east-west settings. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Portia De Rossi have also been seen sporting these unconventional designs.
Yellow gold is making a comeback and credit must go, at least partially, to the UK’s most Googled person in 2018: Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. The best thing about this classic tone is that it’s very low maintenance. Trilogy settings are also on the rise.
There is something so romantic about rose gold that household names like Katie Holmes, Leighton Meester and Hayden Panettiere have embraced. It works with virtually all skin tones and pairs exquisitely with a morganite stone or slightly coloured diamond.
The vintage or retro style - especially art deco - have been popular recently and are set to stay that way. Sported by celebrity favourites like Kylie Minogue, Emily Blunt, Pippa Middleton and Kate Moss, there’s definitely a mysterious quality unique to vintage that enchants people.
