Engagement rings have officially entered The Upside Down! While this new trend might not be a nod to the Netflix hit series Stranger Things, we love this simple flip on tradition!
If you’re concerned that wearing an upside-down design will look, well, strange. Fear not! This new style is meant to capture attention and draw the eye to the intricate elements of your ring.
Geometric designs are the hallmark of an upside down setting. But you can also pull asymmetrical shapes from nature to create a “bottom heavy” setting. This unique tree inspired ring positions the centerpiece round brilliant diamond hanging from a gold tree limb, glittering with emerald leaves. A 14 karat yellow gold band is carved to resemble tree bark, and eight emeralds shine above a sparkling round diamond.
While this ring can be flipped so that the diamond is worn facing up, the design works best when the diamond appears to hang from the magical branch.
This 1 carat pear shaped diamond is set with the tip of the stone secured on the band, but the bulk of the stone—the body of the pear—rises up to command the attention. The band is also encrusted with additional diamond accents.
You always have the option to design your own upside-down masterpiece. Rest a diamond or another gemstone inside a vertex of a downward facing triangular band. Or work with the jeweler to design a band that curves downward to cradle a center stone.
The upside down trend can be imagined in any way you want. While pear shaped stones are one of the most versatile styles for this trend, you can choose any shape to integrate into an upside down design. Play with your own ideas and then work with a jeweler to create your inverted version of Brilliance!
