If you're thinking of popping the question, picking the right engagement ring can be a pretty daunting task. Thankfully, we're on hand to make this exciting decision a lot easier.
As well as your partner's preferred style and taste, an important factor to consider are engagement ring trends and, according to Laura Lambert, founder of jewellery brand Fenton, coloured engagement rings should definitely be on your radar.
She says, "It's been a year 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. "Colour is forever something that lifts us from a period of greyness and it isn't different when it comes to choosing our perfect ring," Laura adds. In fact, celebrities have favoured coloured engagement rings for years. From the Duchess of Cambridge's iconic blue sapphire to Katy Perry's playful ruby sparkler, candy coloured engagement rings are unique yet timeless.
Ready to start the search? Whether it's chic yellow diamonds, pretty peridot or elegant emerald you've taken a shine to, get inspired with our round-up of the 35 best colourful engagement rings for 2021 that are guaranteed to be just as popular in years to come.
