Many believe that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly were the first to create a two-stone engagement ring but in reality, they were just the latest couple to jump on this increasingly popular duo ring trend!

The ring selfie has evolved into more than just a dazzling photo of your engagement ring catching the perfect light on a beautiful day. Ring selfies have become a non-traditional engagement announcement to distant family members, acquaintances, and interested observers on social media. 

“On trend” or “trendy” are not adjectives you necessarily want to describe the engagement ring you propose to your partner with; the goal is for your partner to wear their engagement ring for years to come, through short-lived shapes and fleeting fads. 

As you begin the engagement ring shopping process, you may be slightly overwhelmed with all of your center stone options. You may have even thought your only option was a natural diamond and now you are presented with three: natural diamond, lab-grown diamond, or moissanite. So, how do you decide which is the best center stone for you?

Oval cut diamonds are the most popular and most requested diamond shape with no apparent signs of losing its #1 spot in the diamond engagement ring category. 

The oval cut diamond has earned, and maintained, its popularity for good reason. This elongated diamond shape provides abundant finger coverage with a longer length measurement than other fancy-shaped diamonds. Despite the generous finger coverage, the oval cut diamond appears delicate and dainty with a slimming effect of the finger. 

Moissanite is a relatively new buzzword in the engagement ring and fine jewelry space. What are moissanite gems and how does a moissanite engagement ring compare to a natural diamond engagement ring?
