Online searches for the term “engagement ring” increase dramatically the week before Thanksgiving. (The theory: people like to pop the question over the holidays.)

On the hunt and need some direction? We’ve rounded up the shiniest, prettiest, and the most unique engagement rings out there so that when it finally happens, it’ll be just right.

Karen Karch has the most amazing rings!!! I have the platinum double vine engagement ring and get so many compliments.

It is gorgeous!

Why are almost all of them gold?

Silver was in, now gold is in

Why are almost all of them ugly?

I prefer yellow diamonds like the one P.Diddy (formerly known as Puff Daddy) is wearing in this fab. picture

A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet…

Blech I don’t like any of them.

These has got to be the ugliest rings I’ve seen in my life. I’ve over oval shaped, gold bands with faux diamonds.

Amber, all the diamonds are real. Just because they’re not as sparkly and shiny as you’re used to seeing them doesn’t mean they’re faux.

A lot of these are ugly,and way too many of them are gold. There should have been more variation in the metals. I’m all for creativity but there were hardly any nice traditional choices. Nothing blew me away and some of the rings I liked were in gold which is a bit dated in my opinion.

Funny, silver looks dated to me. I’m sure it will be back in 5 years but it’s been “out” for more than a few years now.

I love Gold, it’s definitely “in” I just meant in terms of engagement rings. A lot of older women in my family have gold engagement rings so to me it seems like a dated metal for that kind of jewelry.

It definitely is a hard choice. my best friend is, well, designing a new engagement ring with her fiance, out of her mom’s old rock (just like Di and Kate, sorta!) and she has no idea which to choose because they’ll just fluctuate in fashion. She’s tempted to choose rose gold but that is an even bigger risk of being very very out of fashion in a few years.

GOLD is NEW again folks.
just ask Anna Dello Russo

I like the originality in the choices but I would have like to see more traditional (but still stunning) rings in the mix. Can we get a redo on this article?

Some of these rings are quite beautiful. For a great engagement ring check out the Hewn collection from Jennifer Dawes!

I want that grey diamond.

I like silver when it comes to engagement rings if you do a classic diamond. It just makes the stone look larger, even. Gold sticks out poorly to me. Also, silver doesn’t stand out as much as gold does when you’re wearing the opposite metal.

Thanks of all.My name….

I’m in LOVE with the gray diamond! it’s very inconspicuous and original. i like that it looks vintage and the simplicity in it. its so quaint!

very elegant picks.

great rings. yeah, gold is in but i till prefer silver. hehe

n the next 5 years, EVERYBODY will buy diamond engagement rings online. It really makes no sense not to. You can find the exact same diamonds and rings for up to 50% less than in stores. The reason? Online retailers don’t have the same overhead costs that jewelry stores do. Therefore, they sell for much less….
