There’s one engagement ring style that never seems to go out of style.   It’s just as much an antique as it is a totally modern look.  And when I say this, I don’t even mean it in the way you might view something like an antique filigree style setting.  In those cases, they were in style a long time ago, and have recently come back into style.

Today’s selection, however, has never gone out of style.  To women in the 30′s, it looked modern and classic, and to women in the 2010′s it looks modern and classic.  The style to which I am referring of course is the classic design with a center solitaire stone flanked by two tapered baguettes on either side down the shank.

James Allen has a beautiful version of this classic look with their 18k White Gold Tapered Baguette Diamond Engagement Ring.

The high color on the baguettes along with the white gold will match beautifully with today’s high color (E Color) diamond.  If you want a very white and bright and fiery look, today’s combination can’t be beat.
