Last summer, my boyfriend and I made the decision to go ahead and get a custom engagement ring for me, and I was so so excited by the idea that he and I went all out on the ring design and setting. My hands are kind of meaty, so I really wanted to go with a ring that would elongate my hand. I read that three stone rings look best if youāre trying to create an elongating/slimming effect on your finger, and I just loved the halo look at the time, so we went for this 3 stone halo engagement ring, with a 1 carat center stone and 0.5 carat side stones. After we finalized the design and the jeweler sent the design to the factory for the ring to be made, I started reading EVERYWHERE that the new trend is more minimalist designed yellow gold engagement rings without so many details.
Iām a big trend oriented person so when I started seeing that the halo engagement ring setting design and the white gold/platinum are declining, I instantly panicked, and I have had this tinge of remorse and slight regret ever since August.š©
Has anyone else had this issue where when you pick your ring you arenāt considering trends, fading/declining popularity, etc.? How do I accept this? I feel so bad because Iām already thinking about how on our 10 year anniversary I want to completely redesign the setting with the 3 diamonds from this setting, however I know that this ring will hold a lot of sentimental value for us.
