we're Obsessed!

If your mode is all minimalist/chic, this is the engagement ring for you: A slick design that features a 3.90-carat Asscher-cut diamond set sideways in a sleek palladium band. Although the ring might look like it would be heavy on your finger, it’s not. Palladium weighs less than gold or platinum. Which is why this metal discovered in 1803 is still a hot choice for modern brides.
