It is no secret that buying an engagement ring can be a scary process. After all, not do you have a monumental number of things to think about, but you also have the added pressure of ensuring that you make your partner happy.

A great place to start is with the latest trends in Hong Kong engagement rings. If you can ensure that the ring you pick is fashionable then you have already won half of the battle.
Before divulging the latest trends it is worth bearing in mind the fact that you will have a lot more success if you opt for a custom made engagement ring rather than ones readily available in stores. After all, it can be very difficult to find exactly what you are looking for when browsing around the shops. However, if you use a bespoke jeweller then you will be able to tell them the latest trend you like and give them a bit of information on your partner’s taste. They will then be able to come up with great designs for engagement rings and then create the perfect ring for your partner. Custom made jewellery is always the recommended option when it comes to a special piece of jewellery.A popular style is a halo setting, where there is one large diamond in the middle of the ring and smaller diamonds then surrounds this. This is extremely popular because it makes the centre stone look bigger and brighter. Not only is this a benefit, but halo setting rings possess an old-school glamour vibe that is very in keeping with the vintage trends hitting the dizzy fashion heights at the moment.

Another popular style is the look of an eternity band. This means that they do not have one big centre stone in the middle. Instead the pattern and the diamonds are consistent all the way round the ring. This is a popular option because it symbolises love that will last for a lifetime.

Thankfully, it is not hard to find a place where you can get the service you need for the perfect engagement ring. The Haywards team is happy to help. The experienced jeweller can create Hong Kong engagement rings suited your partner’s taste and the latest trends. Their monumental number of years in the industry ensures you are in safe hands.

There are so many different subcultures these days that sometimes it can be hard to keep up with them all. Indies, Goths, Emos, Hipsters, Punks and more make up our modern world. A lot of designer labels take inspiration from these sub cultures and use their clothing choices to influence their latest collections. This then descends to the catwalks and then on to the high street, where people will then pick up these pieces and add them to their wardrobes. You may not realise it, but there is sure to be something in your closet that has been influenced by a popular sub culture.

A lot of famous designers have made their name by creating collections inspired by these sub cultures. Vivienne Westwood is one example, she first started out by producing collections inspired by bikers and later went on to create pieces centred around punk rock trends. This propelled her to fashion fame and she is now one of the most well know clothing designers in the world.

Another well know sub culture that inspired a generation of fashion is Mod. Many designer labels started out by creating clothing for the young Mods. Since the 1950’s, the Mod sub culture has been centred on having a particular look and style which is achieved by choosing certain clothing items. Doc Martens, khaki parkas, check shirts, polo tops, denim jeans and narrow ties were all seen as Mod wardrobe essentials. Designer labels including Lambretta, Pierre Cardin and Yves Saint Laurent have all been part of the Mod style at one time or another. Today you will still find many recognisable clothing items which resemble true Mod fashion.
