Shopping for an engagement ring can be an exciting and potentially overwhelming process. There are so many design options, and you want something timeless, something that she'll be proud to wear for the rest of her life.

Our friends at Jewelry Creations in downtown Dover specialize in brilliant bling, so they shared the emerging diamond shape trends they are seeing for this year. To put it simply: Diamond designs are going fancy.

1) Oval-Cut Diamonds: Shown here is a Henri Daussi design in 18KT white gold with a 1.25 carat center oval diamond with a halo. It'll pick up light across the room!
