DEMAND FOR ENGAGEMENT ring center stones is all over the place right now: Lab lovers want to go big, while natural diamond devotees select smaller stones and some couples eschew traditional diamonds for color. When any gemstone can be part of a commitment ring, the most important thing you can do is help a shopping couple figure out what feels true to them and then deliver the perfect piece — both stone and setting — to capture that aesthetic.

(above) Jewelry by Sylvie Jewelry includes Pippa flat-edge bezel solitaire engagement ring from the Auravie collection, $2,680; baguette and round diamond wedding ring from the Heritage collection (0.22 TCW), $2,820; and baguette diamond ring from the Heritage Collection (0.65 TCW), $3,560. All retail prices listed are for 14K gold. For more information, call (800) 992-3426, email [email protected] or visit sylviejewelry.com.

Captivating Curves

From the gentle arc of a side crescent to the tight curlicue of a gallery embellishment, these rings are as soft and lovely as a chubby cherub reclining on a bed of clouds. Swooping and sensuous, these settings seamlessly showcase center stones. This category includes the amorphous abstract forms that are so trendy right now but are still close enough to traditional engagement ring styles that consumers will feel comfortable.

Visible Vows

Never forget that it’s the wedding band your customers will be sporting on their hands every single day. Don’t be afraid to put band options in front of them well before the big day — if you can get the perfect pick into their minds at any point in the process, they’ll know to come back to you when it’s time to make the purchase (and if you’re smart, you’ll lay the groundwork to reel them back in for ring maintenance and future anniversary gifts).
