Personally, I love the idea of a different color diamond, even though I can’t tell whether it would look like costume jewelry. Like this:

Looks great in pictures, but I don’t know — would it end up looking gaudy? 

i've always loved an emerald cut on a thin gold band. it's a little non-tradish, but still classic in my opinion.

Already married, but I’m kind of digging the double stone trend these days:

I’d just ask for a donation to my favorite … finger and go with a simple band of pavè diamonds. You can get beautiful ones for $400 on Etsy 

Ever since I saw this engagement ring of Lady Gaga's way back when Taylor Kinney proposed.... A heart-shaped diamond ring has been unwavering for me. Honestly, I drool at this ring.

Even if you’re already married, what’s your dream engagement ring? And has it changed over the years?
