Trend Report: Engagement Rings 2019
Just a couple of months into 2019 and our Jewellery department have already spotted some most-wanted engagement ring styles. Every year we notice that people's choices in diamond shapes and certain metals change as with any other high-street trend. Here's what we expect to be big for 2019.
Whether you choose to follow the trends or follow your heart, Weir & Sons we would be delighted if you came in to take a look at all our Engagement Rings on offer which start at €1,000.
Solitaires
As to be expected, Solitaire Engagement Rings hold the number one spot for most requested ring styles. Classic to the core, one can't go wrong with such simple beauty. Whatever colour metal you choose with this ring style, it will always look on point and compliment your hand beautifully. Solitaire engagement rings have a truly timeless design that can be appreciated for their simplicity.

[caption id="attachment_1866" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Platinum and Oval Cut Engagement Ring, €6,325[/caption]Three Stone Rings are on the increase with fancy cut stones - such as cushion cuts and oval cuts - showing increased popularity this year. Pear or trilliant side stones are a gorgeous touch to some, whereas a round brilliant can compliment others perfectly. Could this trend have anything to do with the beautiful three stone worn by Meghan Markle? Be sure to check out all the three stones and fancy cut engagement rings that we have online and in store. You may never have thought of a fancy cut before now, but they may yet win you over!

Sapphire and other blue coloured gemstones stones in engagement rings are on the rise. Whether it's in a three stone or a cluster you can't go wrong with these beautiful blue stones. Unlike many other gemstones, a sapphire is still hard enough to be worn everyday on a ring, in contrast to other stones such as Emerald, which despite being popular is too soft for the everyday wear.

Although a classic choice in metal for engagement rings, Yellow Gold has become increasingly popular this year. Gold is naturally yellow, so in choosing this metal for your engagement ring it saves having to get the band re-rhodium plated. Despite being such a classic, over the last number of years fewer people were choosing yellow gold. However, we are pleased to let you know it is seeing a resurgence in popularity once more.
