Are We Really Doing The Gold Trend, Ladies?

Lately, I've noticed a trend in Hollywood and no, it's not a baby bump, it's the gold engagement ring.  For the last two decades, the platinum (or white gold) cushion-cut diamond ring in robin egg blue Tiffany box has been the ultimate standard for engagements.  Yet take a look at the rings recently given to two Hollywood gals under the age of thirty.......gold bands and a very non-traditional style.  Has the tide finally turned? Are we doing the gold trend now in engagement rings?  Let's take a closer look at Miley Cyrus and Diana DeGarmo's engagement rings and Tori Spelling's anniversary ring.........

Miley's Ring:
Designer:  Neil Lane
Carats:  3.5
Cut:  Cushion
Band:  18K Gold
Motif:  Art Nouveau
Diamond dates back to 1880 or 1890.
Fiancé:  Liam Hemsworth (Thor's Brother!)


Diana's Ring:
Designer:  David Webb
Carats:  1 for center stone, .2 for side stones
Band:  18K Gold and Platinum  (prongs holding stones)
Motif:  Sunflower, her favorite flower.
Ace designed this ring for Diana.
Fiancé:  Ace Young


Tori's Ring:  
Designer:  Neil Lane
Stones:  6 Coral Cabochon Stones
Band:  Gold Bezel with Filigree Work

This is a 6th anniversary ring.  Tori gets a new ring each year on their anniversary date. (Way to go, Tori!)
Husband:  Dean McDermott

What do you think of the gold trend?  While I am a huge fan of Tori's ring, I think I still prefer the platinum look.  Miley's ring is very elegant, but just not my style while Diana's is definitely a personal taste issue.  I want to hear what you have to say!  Let me know on Facebook, Twitter, or in the comments below.
