Jewellery has been around for centuries and styles have changed through-out time as well. People have gone up and down with their sense of taste, where one minute it`s a certain style and then the trend seems to shift backwards again. With this yo-yo effect it`s hard to know what is in style now and what isn`t. There are some pieces of jewellery that are new and very hot as well as some old styles that are very trendy to sport.

Diamond rings are used as a sign of engagement and marriage. And they can signify something important such as giving a daughter a diamond cluster. The style of rings has changed over the years. In the 1930`s to 1950`s wedding rings and engagement rings were often in a white gold color with a few small diamonds on top.

Where as in the 1960`s to 1980`s the diamonds slowly started getting bigger and the bands became more popular in yellow gold. In the 80`s and 90`s as well, wedding bands seemed to have a different style to them. It was common to see someone wearing one with ripples in the band or swirling patterns and the diamonds often followed the trail of the band`s design.
