Cushion Cut Diamond Halo ER Set in 18ct Yellow Gold Band.

Voltaire Diamonds are about 30 percent cheaper thanks to their diamond-by-appointment business model (which avoids the traditional overheads associated with having a street-level shop presence). From Voltaire Diamonds, we have the most sparkly, most charming, and most elegant of engagement rings that are all sure to be major trends for Christmas and the New Year... 1. Three-stone Diamond ER with Oval Cut Centre Stone, Set in 18 ct White Gold Band. So the ring that is encrusted in everybody’s minds at present is that of Meghan Markle. The solitaire style, three stone trilogy type that is sided with two small round diamonds will be inspiring brides for years to come.

2. Antique Style Sapphire and Diamond Halo Cluster ER Set in an 18 ct Yellow Gold Band. We’ve seen quite a bit of the platinum-paired-with-white-gold trend and we’re now witnessing a return to traditional 18 carat yellow gold and even rose gold. Give the perfect nod to old-style romance and take some inspiration from the Duchess of Cambridge with that stunning sapphire! Safe to say, we're totally on board.

3. Pear Cut Diamond Halo Set in 18 ct White Gold with a Scallop Set Diamond Band & Matching Wedding Band. Just take a look at Game Of Thrones’ star Sophie Turner’s stunning piece - it’s definitive proof that double banded engagement rings are on the rise and we must admit, they’re rather flattering.

I said yes.

4. Pear Cut Diamond Halo Set in 18 ct White Gold with a Scallop Set Diamond Band & Matching Wedding Band (single). Yes, yes, yes! Pear and marquise cut rings have us in love. The tapered cut of the stone is a novel detail that adds a creative flair AND from a visual perspective, elongates and slims the finger.

5. Morganite, Pink Sapphire and Diamond Double Halo ER Set in an 18 ct Rose Gold Band. Remember it’s not only diamonds that are well suited to create a stunning ring. Gemstones give an elegant pinch of colour, a sentimental aspect (perhaps add your birthstone, or his) and adds a uniqueness to the ring most others will not bestow.

Geometric rings are expected to be adored once more in 2018, paying homage to the French inspired, Art Deco era of the 1920s. Not only will it have you reminiscing over the flamboyant yet classy vibe of The Great Gatsby but will leave you in awe of such beaut. Brought to you by Voltaire Diamonds.
