December the 1st marks the beginning of the engagement ring season, a time bursting with romantic possibilities and many opportunities to pop the question. If you are entering into the new year with a view to propose, or if you have already heard that yes, yes, yes and are looking for your perfect engagement ring to make it official, Whiteflash has everything you need for a fresh, 2019 proposal.

With the inside scoop on the hottest engagement ring trends for 2019, this list is the perfect inspiration with designs that are trending and will never go out of style.

A timeless solitaire, a sentimental trilogy, or perhaps something entirely different – this list covers the must-have engagement ring trends to complete your perfect proposal.

Since its re-emergence into the jewelry world a few years ago, rose gold has remained a firm favorite among brides to be, and it’s here to stay for 2019! The subtle pink hue of rose gold brings a vintage femininity to diamond jewelry and can enhance the icy whiteness of a high quality diamond. The warmth of this divine metal is also extremely flattering on all skin tones and is the perfect choice for those looking to bring a little uniqueness and a touch of romance to their engagement ring.

This stunning Lyric Solitaire by Vatche perfectly blends the vintage-feel of rose gold with a contemporary setting and a princess cut diamond.

The delicate beading and engraving on this Tacori Starlit Solitaire works beautifully in rose gold; a re-imagining of old world jewelry in a highly wearable and stylish design.

Adding a coloured gemstone accent to your engagement ring is the perfect way to give your ring personality and enhance the diamonds. It is important to select a durable gemstone – while diamonds reign supreme as the first choice for lasting jewelry, rubies and sapphires are suitable for everyday wear, and even garnets and topaz are pretty durable if treated with care.

A twirling ceiling, intricate beading and a flurry of diamond accents…it must be Verragio! The Verragio Princess Trilogy engagement ring is the perfect example of how colored gemstones can be used to enhance a central stone. The deep blue, princess cut sapphires bring a feeling of royalty to this ring, which is perfectly completed with yellow gold accents.

Or if you’re looking for something that ticks two of our top trend boxes, this striking Oval Halo Aquamarine engagement ring uses the shape of the moment (oval), in a delicate powder blue Aquamarine, perfectly set with diamonds in a yellow gold band. Beautifully feminine and something a little different from the usual solitaire.

Our love of all things vintage shows no sign of fading as we enter 2019, and vintage cut diamonds are a tasteful and eye-catching addition to any engagement ring. Topping the vintage charts are Pear and Oval cut diamonds; these elongated shapes are extremely flattering on the hand, lengthening the fingers and giving an elegant appearance. Add a halo to these beloved cuts for additional glamour and sparkle.

From their Seasons of Love collection, this Oval cut engagement ring by A.Jaffe is set on a twisted band, finished with a path of sparkling diamonds. It is the detailing on this beautifully made ring that allows the oval cut diamond to take centre stage with its timeless elegance; vintage elements perfectly woven with contemporary magic.

Tacori are the masters of beading and engraving in their complex designs, but this Starlit Pear Cut engagement ring shows that Tacori can deliver minimalist beauty too. The bezel setting offers maximum security to the centre diamond while the subtle pin-dot detailing creates a constellation to symbolize the stars aligning in your love. Story, sentiment and sparkle; are true winner for 2019.

Bold, statement jewelry is set to be a trend for 2019, and the popularity of thick bands and engagement rings with a real impact continues to rise. This trend has been in the background for a while now, with modern brides forgoing the traditional engagement ring/wedding band combination and instead opting for a single, statement ring to symbolise their love. 2019 is going to see this trend shoot straight to the top of people’s ‘wish’ lists. But fear not; choosing a chunky-style engagement ring doesn’t have to mean missing out on a wedding band – these rings look wonderful stacked with additional eternity bands. The sky is the limit for the contemporary bride.

For the ultimate in security and style our heavy set half-bezel solitaire provides maximum security to the diamond. The comfort fit band ensures seamless everyday wear, while remaining bang on trend. The perfect choice for a stand-out bride.

If you are looking to forgo the traditional set of engagement rings and wedding bands, this dazzling Simon G diamond ring with rose gold accents delivers the beauty and impact of a diamond bridal stack in one ring. Suitable for the boldest of brides, this head-turning ring gives dramatic sparkle with contemporary flair.

The ethereal halo setting is set to be even more desirable in 2019. This twinkling favourite adds additional glitz to an engagement ring and can make central stones appear larger. A halo works with a variety of diamond shapes and our impressive collection of designer halo settings means you are sure to find your perfect match.

From their Insignia collection, this Halo half-eternity diamond engagement ring by Verragio brings European elegance together with innovative design. The scrolling ceiling is the perfect partner to your sparkling halo and central stone.

One halo not enough? Simon G have you covered with their Passion diamond double halo engagement ring. This twinkling masterpiece features a split shank adorned with yet more diamonds, while the ¾ eternity band ensures maximum comfort to the wearer.

The modern bride now has an array of complex and unique designs to choose from, and 2019 will see these masterful works brought to the forefront of the jewelry world. An elegant twist, an intricate braid or something entirely different altogether; brides have thrown out the rule book and we have a beautiful collection of unusual bands to choose from.

Braided with diamonds and featuring a diamond-adorned ceiling, this Verragio three stone engagement ring is sparkle and elegance brought together with European flair and expert craftsmanship.
