We’ve made a ton of engagement rings over the past 20 years, here in our Columbus Ohio jewelry store. And the trend for 2022 (and beyond) is all about simplicity and customization!
Simple, single stone style engagement rings, little details like hidden halos, infinity symbols and initials, and colored gold mountings – like yellow gold and rose gold – are becoming increasingly popular!
And as for the center gemstone? Lab grown diamonds are definitely here to stay, as well as mined diamonds or even inherited, family diamonds.
We’ve also been setting a TON of colored gemstones in our custom engagement rings. After 2020, many of our couples just want some color in their lives again!
Blue sapphires are the most popular (because sapphires are super durable and can hold up well to daily wear), but we’re also using birthstones in our custom designs.
Once the gold standard (we love a good jewelry pun) in engagement rings, solitaire style means one main diamond or gemstone in the design.
While 3 stone rings were super popular in the 2000s because they symbolized the past, present and future, the trend towards one single diamond is on the rise!
Set up high in the mounting, longish shapes like ovals, marquise and emerald-cut diamonds are getting a lot of requests lately, but round diamonds are still our best sellers.
Physically, optically and chemically the same as diamonds mined from the earth, lab grown diamonds have been a great, affordable, ethical, conflict-free option for custom engagement rings at Scott’s.
Think of them like tomatoes. Some are grown in a hothouse, and others are grown in a garden. They’re the same, except hothouse tomatoes cost less.
The same goes with lab-grown diamonds. They typically cost 50% less than mined diamonds (and who doesn’t want to save 50%). Available in almost every size and cut, we even use small lab diamonds in our bands too!
