Wooing a woman is a tall order. There’s loads of things that need to be borne in mind and anything can go wrong at any time, often leading to disastrous consequences. But ask a guy about his type of a woman and after all the crazy talk that ensues, there’ll be one response that’ll be heard the loudest – she’s got to be one-of-a-kind!

No wonder then, that some guys are known to move heaven and Earth just to find the right woman. If you find yourself nodding your head in approval at this, then hey, the words below might just be the ones you’re looking for. While there are the eternal favourites, some like princess cut engagement rings have gone on to become universally accepted as quintessential options for those that seek to balance the conventional with a bit of a modernist twist.

Some of the hottest trends this year when it comes to ring designs are:

 An emerald cut stone is for those that love a bit of the period feel in their rings. They do radiate a lot of class ...
... and when compared across carat weightage, it gives them a larger-than-life appeal. If you manage to get one that features a narrow band design in white gold, then that’d be excellent.

 If you’re aiming for maximum light reflection while keeping things a wee bit traditional then designs featuring pillow cut stones is what you should be looking for. After-all, this particular one has been popular since long before Edison got around to lighting things up for us.

 If you’re one of those who thinks that if the diamonds we wear should pay homage to the planet we live on, then yes, the oval cut diamond design is just for you. And if you happen to pick one where the stone arrangement stretches out in the direction of the finger, then you are just going to make your woman, very happy.

 The pear cut diamond is enjoying a renaissance this season. The reasons for this range from their natural allure, to their ability to look larger than their carat weight and are considered to be a boon in the times where money is a little tight.

 If you’ve got a small stone (for whatever the reasons may be) and wish to make it appear larger, then it is time to borrow a trick from last season (suitably reworked, of-course). The halo effect is just perfect for the job but one must be careful since it is quite easy to over-do things. Most experts suggest that two rings are just fine, while three would be counter-productive.

 The halo-ring take is also popular with those that prefer to wear a bit of colour on their finger. To replicate this effect, all one has to do is to mix in a few multi-hued, semi-precious stones and Bob’s your uncle!

 Solitaires may look stunning, but they do have one persistent concern about them. Their exposed type of construction makes the stone vulnerable to chips and other kinds of damage.

So what’s your take on the trends discussed this far and which among this has got you stoked, care to share?
