The Engagement Ring Trends Behind Our Boldest Collection: Muse

We’ve broken the LB mold with our newest engagement ring collection, Muse. These bold rings are inspired by modern trends, blended with vintage charm—all with a Lauren B twist. Here are the engagement ring trends that served as our muse in the creation of this inspired collection.

Bold Bands:

Delicate, dainty bands have had their day in the sun. While we still have plenty of clients
requesting fine bands per their taste, we’ve recently noticed a push for wider, more bold
engagement ring bands. Wider mm bands and cigar bands have been making their rounds
quite a bit recently and we’re here for it!

Offset Stones:

One fun, modern engagement ring trend we’ve been asked about more and more is offsetting
the diamond on the band. The center stone is still the star, but it’s set slightly, or even almost
entirely, off the center of the band. This style makes for a playful and eye-catching look.

Pavé Edges

We love this peekaboo detail. Not into traditional pavé  on the band? Some prefer the contrast
between a sleek metal band and a center stone but still want a touch of sparkle. Pave edges
offer a perfectly unique option for those craving an unexpected twist on their ring.

Diagonally Set

Love a solitaire moment, but want a little bit of spice? We adore how interesting certain shaped
diamonds look at a 45 degree angle. Our personal favorite? The pear. There’s no wrong way to
wear a pear shape.

Inlaid Stones

Another look for lovers of interesting bands: inlaid stones. Instead of the traditional side stones
set high in prongs, these stones are set directly into the metal of the band, creating a flush,
seamless look while still providing that brilliant sparkle.

Marquise

The marquise shape has seen a recent resurgence in popularity. We have clients asking for the
shape more and more every week. With its elongated silhouette and largest face-up
appearance of any shape, the marquise gives you maximum finger coverage and a uniquely
elegant vibe you don’t see every day. It may be one of the current engagement ring trends, but
the classic marquise is here to stay.

Tapered Band

Whether in plain metal or decked in diamonds, tapered bands have been a major request from
our clients lately. It’s a fun and thoughtful design feature that adds visual interest without
sacrificing comfort. Plus, a tapered band draws the attention directly to the center
stone…exactly where we want it!
