Luckily this tradition did not last forever, and diamonds were introduced and encouraged as engagement rings, starting in the 1930s.&nbsp; Even though some women accept rings made from non-traditional stones like sapphires or emeralds, nearly 80% of American women today prefer diamond settings.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">These days, it\u2019s not just the diamond that\u2019s important, but also its presentation. An up-and-coming trend for 2013 features what is known as <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/\">pave engagement rings<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cPave\u201d comes from the French word for \u201cpaved.\u201d The diamonds are seated close together, the same way historical streets were covered in cobblestones.&nbsp; An extremely popular pave setting today is the halo technique, when significantly smaller diamonds surround a dazzling, large diamond. Often with this setting is additional pave work, with small stones lining the band as well.&nbsp; A great example of this kind of engagement ring is the one Katherine Heigl received from her now-husband, Josh Kelly.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s not just the stones that are getting all the attention this season. Be sure to keep an eye out for <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/\">rose gold engagement ring<\/a><\/strong> trends. Rose gold is a rich, faintly blush-tinged yellow that looks particularly stunning when paired with a canary or champagne diamond, also hot picks this year. Blake Lively\u2019s ring, a lovely light pink diamond, uses rose gold in its setting, as does LeAnn Rimes\u2019.&nbsp; While platinum and white gold will always be considered the standard choices, a rose gold engagement ring offers uniqueness and romanticism, two things the cutting-edge world of fashion sometimes misses out on.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">If 2013 is anything like the past few years, there should be a rash of new celebrity engagements and trends to follow besides just pave settings and rose gold.&nbsp; Let\u2019s just hope things don\u2019t go so retro that proposals with thimbles become popular again!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Engagement Rings and Diamond Settings Will Shine Brightest in 2013?
