You no longer need to be engaged to have an attractive diamond on your own finger.

Cocktail rings

Put on a cocktail styled diamond ring when you want to be seen. Nothing gets people's eye faster than a multi-stone diamond ring - particularly if this ring has at least a couple different colors of diamonds. Start with the 1.00ct black and white diamond zebra band ring set in polished rhodium-plated sterling silver. It features 30 round cut, 2.1mm black diamonds and 70 round cut 2.7 to 2.5mm white diamonds, all in pave settings. The end result is an elegant zebra pattern created from diamonds.

For a cool variant on this particular theme, check out Mocha Diamond Weave Ring set in sterling silver. It's almost a basket weave effect, created by 38 round cut, 1.3mm mocha diamonds set in prongs. The total approximate diamond weight is 0.37ct. The ring itself is nearly an inch broad.

Fashion rings

Trend rings may be every bit as precious, amazing and intricate as cocktail rings - sometimes more so. But what sets a fashion ring aside from others is its unique layout. Occasionally the ring is a flower, a sculptured shape or just a creature. Some trend rings can be, while they're not whimsical. But there is nothing whimsical concerning the precious metals and colorful diamonds used to create them.

Start with a sculptured ring set in black diamonds, yellow sapphires and reddish sapphires - all set in 14K yellow gold. Each color of diamonds forms a petal that overlaps another two petals. One petal is black diamonds, the second is yellow sapphires and the third is red sapphires. Black rhodium plating adds to the contrast appearance. The total diamond weight is 0.65ct; total sapphire weight is 2.85ct.

For a much more whimsical ring, attempt the green and red diamond frog ring - complete with black rhodium accents. There are other individuals who'd find this a fun, however precious, piece of jewelry, while many people would not wear a frog ring. The little frog is studded with 113 round single cut 0.9-1.1mm green diamonds in pave settings. His eyes are two round single cut 1.3mm red diamonds in bezel settings. The total diamond weight is around 0.65ct.

Bands

A stacker ring is a good solution to savor a diamond band. This sterling silver band comes with 0.15ctw of colored diamonds. Wear it alone or together with other bands. That is why it's called a stacker ring. The diamonds are offered in blue, cognac, white, mocha and yellow. Assign a color to each of the kids and wear it like a mother's ring. Or pair one with your wedding band that is conventional to bring some colour and sparkle to your own hand. Each ring, crafted of polished rhodium-plated sterling silver, holds nine round single-cut 1.5mm blue, white, yellow or mocha diamonds. The diamonds are in pave settings to greatly help ensure the ring won't catch on clothing.
