These Are the Most Popular Engagement Ring Styles in Every U.S. Region

Ring-seekers in the Northeast like to keep it classic, gravitating toward three-stone rings and solitaires. They also tend to opt for cushion cut diamonds more than other regions. Color-wise, Brilliant Earth found that Northeastern shoppers favor more traditional white metals (as opposed to trendy millennial pink rose gold).

Y’all. Apparently, our southern friends are more likely to purchase a ring with diamond accents set in white gold. Per Brilliant Earth, “Southerners tend to be more interested in a variety of fancy shaped diamonds and like to pair them with feminine, floral-inspired settings.” They’re also into halo styles, unsurprising considering their sparkly nature.
