The Latest Trend

When it comes to making a fashion statement with jewelry, women prefer to sport a glittery diamond or two. Diamond rings, pendants, bracelets et al are available in various designs and price ranges to adorn the woman at work, at a party or at a ceremonial gathering. Weddings are a big occasion for diamond rings, especially as engagement rings, wedding bands, and even as small token gifts for the immediate family. In every day and age, since times forgone, diamond rings have added sparkle to an occasion. In the recent past, diamond rings became a symbol of love and commitment. Engagement rings and anniversary rings all seem to speak the language of togetherness. But, the latest trend in diamond rings is more as a celebration of womanhood. Today, the trend of wearing a diamond ring on the right hand, instead of the traditional left hand is fast catching up. The stone is the same but the style statement is completely different. The right hand ring is the mark of the independent woman. It is a symbol of assertion of character and independence. The 21st century woman is outgoing, career oriented and self-sufficient. The right hand ring stands for all these qualities. Where the conventional left-hand engagement ring or wedding band would be a gift from a male companion or husband, the right hand diamond ring doesn’t spell any such relations. This is not to say that married or engaged women are not wearing the right hand ring. In fact, many women make a multiple style statement with rings on both hands to compliment the independent as well as the committed woman. The right hand diamond ring not only makes a statement by how it is worn but also by how it is designed. These diamond rings are specially made with smaller stones, multiple stones, open space designs and different cuts. When you see a right hand diamond ring, you can’t mistake it for a conventional engagement ring.
