Love is a dangerous game. Love for lab-grown diamonds is more so. The women who have a busy lifestyle and an undying love for diamonds are compelled to wear something elegant and trendy.
If something is always in trend, it’s diamond jewelry. But some of them are trendier than others in 2022. Despite their increasing popularity, most diamond jewelry in 2022 isn’t updated enough to suit the dynamic generation of today. So, here are the top 10 trends in diamond jewelry that you want to nurture this year:
1. Fleur Diamond Ring
Housing 14 lab-grown diamonds, fleur diamond rings are one of the top trends from the past decade that is coming back in 2022. The majestic diamonds in the fleur rings are connected through a single prong that gives it a vision of continuity and love forever.
The most popular fleur diamond rings house a total of 3/8ct of diamonds divided between the 14 gems. Although the choice of metal falls upon you, the sparkling diamonds are best complemented by 18K rose and white gold.
The price of a fleur diamond ring with average color F/G and clarity of SI1 falls somewhere between $940 and $1330 depending on the choice of metal.
2. Della Solitaire Ring
Della solitaire rings house a massive center diamond that’s held by the structure of the ring with neatly designed prongs showing up above the diamond. The della rings may also contain two smaller diamonds on the sides depending on the design you choose but the essence of a solitaire ring persists. The finish of the rings is mostly smooth with options to hold diamonds in shapes of cushion, oval, and round.
The ring itself, as the diamond, is exceptional by all means. The almost hexagonal design inside the ring perfectly complements the shape of the diamonds. Although platinum looks best in della solitaire rings, white and yellow gold also finds their charm in this setting.
3. Trellis Diamond Ring
Trellis diamond rings are very different from solitaire rings. Although some of them might house a center diamond, the most prominent ones can be described as pave rings without the huge centerpiece. The slick trellis ring is coming back in trend because of the focus on minimalism in 2022.
The trellis diamond rings house multiple (optimally 20) small diamonds secured by prongs throughout the whole ring. The delicate trellis detail on the profile creates a perfect pairing with classic prong-set diamonds to enhance the confidence of the wearer despite the brittle look it has.
4. Classic 3ct. Tennis Bracelet
Nothing to see here. Just a bracelet with marvelous classic timeless diamonds encircling the wrist of your loved ones. The classic tennis bracelets can be worn with anything and everything that you may have in style. Housing a total of 65 diamonds, the classic 3ct. tennis bracelets complement any event and parties that you’re looking forward to.
Only available in white and rose gold, this classic piece of aristocracy comes anywhere in the range of $1700-$1800 for lab-grown SI-quality diamonds.
5. Emerald-Cut Tennis Bracelet
Different in the diamond shape from classic bracelets, emerald-cut tennis bracelets hold 56 emerald-cut diamonds throughout the bracelet to radiate a royal shimmer your girl needs. The emerald-cut bracelets look much more royal than classic rings but are equally expensive. The same size and quality diamond in emerald cut rings can reach 5X the price of a classic diamond ring.
The price difference is due to the cut of the diamond. To make an emerald-cut diamond, much more materials are used in the production. Thus, the expensiveness.
6. 8ct. Cluster Top Diamond Bracelet
Well-known for their exceptional demeanor, cluster top diamond bracelets house a whooping 234 lab-grown diamonds making 8ct in total diamond weight. The small diamonds are fixed in a cluster of diamonds that are held together by the metal ring itself.
The clusters of the diamonds collectively take an oval shape that gives out the impression of them being huge diamonds. The small diamonds making it seem like huge centerpieces brings down the cost of the bracelet without sacrificing its exclusivity. A nice 8ct. Cluster Top Bracelet can reach up to $5000 depending on the number of diamonds.
