The history behind marquise-cut diamonds make them all the more romantic. A marquise diamond is a long almond shaped diamond with a plump center and pointed ends, but what most people don't know is that it symbolizes lips. Louis XV had his jewelers create this diamond shape to represent the lips of his lover, Marquise de Pompadour. Hence how the diamond got its name, marquise. On top of it being a romantic and elegant shape, it also features a larger surface than any other diamond. Meaning, marquise-cut diamonds look larger than other diamond shapes of the same carat weight. We predict marquise to be the most popular diamond shape in 2023 engagements due to its unique cut. This allows the on-trend minimalist bride to still have something classic and solitaire while feeling special and unique.
If you’re looking to get really personal with your engagement ring, then a three-stone ring is perfect for you. We see this as a trend going into 2023 as the pandemic and micro-weddings helped to show many of us the only thing that truly matters, you and your partner. The three stones on this engagement ring traditionally represent the past, present and future of a relationship. So not only does this ring hold a deeper meaning, but the three-stones leave room for you to get really creative as well. You can choose different cuts and carat sizes, or even include other stones, such as a meaningful birthstone. The sky's the limit when it comes to creating a three-stone ring.

If you’re looking for a true one-of-a-kind ring and a reflection of the bride’s unique style, gemstone engagement rings are definitely something to consider. Common gemstone choices include sapphire, ruby, and emerald. Out of these stones sapphires typically tend to be our most popular gemstone for engagement because of their wide variety of colors and of course durability. A couple choosing a gemstone engagement ring will have huge perks such as price, size, and uniqueness. Gemstones are usually a fraction of the cost of diamonds, so choosing a gemstone for your engagement ring will give you the opportunity to have a larger stone while also saving you money. To name just a few, celebrities with gemstone engagement rings include Megan Fox, Eva Longoria, Katy Perry, Kate Middleton, and Heidi Klum.
