Ready to pop the question? There’s just one minor detail to figure out — the perfect ring. With so many styles to choose from, shopping for an engagement ring can be totally overwhelming. To help you out, our friends at Blue Nile pulled together a list of this year’s most popular engagement ring styles. 

1. Rose Gold

The hottest gold color: Rose! This coppery shade is flattering on all skin tones and puts a modern twist on a traditional look.

Adding “something blue” is a great way to make your ring more unique.

Solitaire settings will never go out of style, but you can increase the uniqueness factor by adding delicate details on the band.

Add a little extra bling to your ring with pavé diamonds on the band.
