It might surprise you

Films like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Sex And The City might make you think you want a big cushion diamond engagement ring presented in a pale blue box, but it turns out our tastes are far simpler.

Because the most popular engagement ring on Pinterest has been revealed, and it’s surprisingly understated.

It’s a classic round solitaire diamond set on a rose gold band, and the style has been saved over 103,000 times.

Make no mistake, it’s still probably very pricey as it’s 1.22 karats, and it was custom made for bride Sylvia Billone, who declined to reveal the price.

We have to say we’re a little bit in love with the accompanying wedding ring, which we’re willing to bet was bespoke too.

This definitely shows a shift in wedding trends, as last year’s most pinned engagement ring was more of a lavish affair with several diamonds and and intricate setting.

Seeing as the most popular wedding dresses on Pinterest at the moment are fairly simple too, it’s safe to say Kardashian-style nuptials might be a bit passé now.

Instead, it looks like it's all about pared back affairs with a personal touch so no two weddings are the same, and we can get on board with that.

And rose gold is going nowhere fast, obviously.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
