[quote=Anonymous]One way to avoid getting swept up in engagment/wedding ring trends is to develop a jewelry style before you get engaged. My rings were made at the same jeweler where I'd had several pieces of everyday jewelry made a few years prior (a pair of small diamond studs, a pendant necklace, and a couple narrow bangles). The style is very delicate and understated. When we got engaged my DH initially talked about going to one of the more traditional engagement ring stores, but I suggested at least checking out this jeweler with whom I had this relationship. It was perfect. My rings wound up looking very me, and fit in with all my other jewelry. We got my DH's wedding band there too. And he's since bought me a couple anniversary presents there. It was really useful to have an established style, and to own a couple good quality (but by no means super expensive) pieces of jewelry beforehand so I knew what I liked and what looked good on me, and worked well with my lifestyle and wardrobe.

I think that's how you avoid being overly trendy in these choices. Of course you still wind up following some trends (my rings definitely reflect certain trends of the year I got them), but it means that they will be trends you actually like and can live with because you were drawn to that style outside the frenzy of "I'm getting married!" That's the advice I'll give to my daughter -- establish your preferences and style early so you can make more informed choices if/when the time comes.[/quote]
