For all the old-school charmers out there, nothing says 'Marry Me' like a diamond-studded proposal. Do it the traditional way with a splendid solitaire or cushion-, emerald-, pear- or oval-cut rings. However, if you're looking for a fresher feel to kick-start your marital voyage, try a flower-shaped or rose gold ring to showcase your love. Whether you go classy or trendy, you can't go wrong with a diamond!

Halo rings are an upcoming trend that's here to stay. They're basically made up of a center stone surrounded by a circle (or 'halo') of small diamonds. The most popular among these rings are sapphire-encrusted halo rings, made famous by the Duchess of Cambridge. They are a stunning alternative to diamond rings and are an opportunity to truly mix and match your taste for fancy gems. Another very popular fad of the new year is to combine the halo and cushion-cut styles for a truly regal-looking ornament. Yet another variation is the double halo ring, which has two circles of diamonds surrounding the centre stone. These styles are a really good choice for those who wish for a dazzling proposal weapon that'll also go easy on the pocket.

Rest assured that these timeless drops of beauty are sure to remain in vogue for a long, long time.

Antique rings are for women who appreciate the intricate things in life. If your partner is one with the times yet traditional, if she's individualistic yet likes to be pampered, if she believes more is less and minimal is classy, antique rings are your stairway to heaven! Not only are original antique rings show stoppers in every right, they usually have a fascinating story attached to them for added appeal. They're financially viable yet classy options, a truly amazing gift for women who have an appreciation for history.
