Danielle Chin, Kung’s associate and diamond stylist for Ultimate Diamond, says the oval cut diamond and pavé diamond band are a departure from the styles worn by the other Kardashian siblings, and could indicate what the upcoming trend is.
“Compared to the other Kardashians who have halo set rings, or side stones, this could mean that we’re heading towards a trend where modern, as thin and as clean as possible settings are more popular because it brings greater attention to the center stone,” she forecasts. “If we know anything about the Kardashians, it’s that they are trendsetters, and that now consumer demand for oval shape diamonds, and thin bands, will only continue to increase.”
When Kim and Kanye West were engaged in 2013, the rapper collaborated with Lorraine Schwartz to achieve his vision. At the time, a rep for the designer told E! News, “He and Lorraine emailed back and forth, and stayed up nights discussing how he wanted it to be. He wanted the diamond to look like it was floating on air.”
