Laura Lambert, founder of jewellery brand Fenton says, "It's been a few years of reflection for many of us, with the desire of re-focus on what really matters. The idea of the 'traditional diamond engagement ring' has been replaced with something more unique, fun and individualistic that really bring meaning to your forever piece. Be it choosing your birthstone, favourite colour or bespoke design!"
That's not to say a colourful engagement ring will go out of style.

What Colour Are Engagement Rings?
Traditionally, engagement rings feature diamonds, but there is no rule to say what colour your engagement ring should be. You could choose a gemstone colour that reflects your partner's favourite colour or their birthstone. The choice is completely up to you!
Can Engagement Rings Have Coloured Stones?
Absolutely - in fact, colourful engagement rings are becoming a really popular choice with couples as people look to steer from tradition and pick a style that nods to them instead. You don't have to have a coloured gem as your central stone, we love the idea of having a diamond flanked by a flash of colour.
What Colour Engagement Ring Should I Choose?
With ruby, emerald, sapphire and more coloured stone engagement rings available, it can be hard to know which one to go for. If you partner already wears jewellery, take a look if any of their pieces feature specific colours so you can choose a matching or complementary shade.
