This change was never expected to happen so soon. But what The New York Post has reported tells us that it really has happened. The huge engagement rings are just hitting the charts and most of the women are abandoning the simple wedding bands for flashy ones. Everyone is wondering about the trend asking whether the economic meltdown has not affected the fashion.
The article says that a lot of ladies in the Big Apple are going for the flashy rings for many reasons. And it is so obvious that the rest of the people are sure to follow the trend set by New York ladies. “Why go for the simple ones when we have many options for bling?†ask many bridal bloggers. The statements can be considered true and it does make sense. Moreover, the women would surely like to go for a little more bling. Well, they want it if the men can afford it!
According to the editor-in-chief of Brides magazine “For most women, the engagement ring is the most important, most loved and often the most expensive piece of jewelry they own… That said, some women just have a more understated way of going through life, and a wedding band is enough for them.” Even though the women would probably want to spend the money on house or for their future kids’ education, they don’t mind big engagement rings, adorning their fingers. After all, these diamond rings are there to stay for a life time.
