Newer takes on the halo

It’s not that hard to see why these rings are catching the attention of women everywhere: these bands allow them to bring additional sparkle to their fingers. Plus, it gives them freedom to customise their rings according to their personal style.

Back to antiques

Edwardian era engagement rings, for instance, are seen to make a comeback this year, mostly due to its intricacy and femininity. Brides-to-be will find themselves captivated with the ring’s use of platinum, tons diamonds, and coloured gemstones.
