2021 Engagement Ring Styles + The Top Ten Most Expensive

2021 engagement ring styles and the top ten most expensive celebrity engagement rings can help you select which style is perfect for you. Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and if you are thinking of popping the question on the most romantic day of the year, you’ll be joining six million couples around the US in locking down your love. Valentine’s Day is the most popular day for engagements.

In a year of uncertainty, couples are choosing 2021 engagement ring styles that have more personal significance while many, those who are concerned about the planet’s well being, are also opting for heirloom pieces. Other couples are choosing precious stones such as rubies, emeralds (like Jackie Kennedy’s engagement to JFK) or sapphires (Lady Diana and Kate Middleton) as the center stone. 

Chetan Nayar of Sona Jewelers in New Jersey says, “These past few months, we have seen a large demand in fancy shapes like ovals and pear shapes. Ovals in particular have been very popular. In fact, there is currently a shortage of oval diamonds.”

Chetan adds, “Of course the classic round shape is always popular especially with a cathedral setting in white gold. However, we are also seeing a lot of rose gold in halo settings.”

He says that his customer base is mostly buying between 1 and 1.5 carats with pricing being around the $10,000 mark with a good number of customers choosing around a 2.5 carat diamond around the $20,000 price tag. The average price for an engagement in the United States is around $6500.
