圓形鉆石在40年代盛行起來，這要感謝戴比爾斯公司著名的“鉆石恒久遠(yuǎn)”廣告。根據(jù)WP Diamonds公司的信息，由于二戰(zhàn)期間美國限制了鉑金供應(yīng)，玫瑰金和黃金指環(huán)就成為人們的普遍選擇。

最經(jīng)久不衰：單鉆金戒指

In the past century, the most popular ring style has been a gold band with a solitaire stone. Speaking to INSIDER, the president of WP Diamonds, Andrew Brown, said the most popular engagement ring style in the last 100 years is actually pretty simple: A "round solitaire diamond, around one carat, set on a simple yellow-gold band."

過去一個世紀(jì)以來，最經(jīng)久不衰的戒指是黃金指環(huán)鑲單顆鉆石。WP Diamonds公司總裁安德魯·布朗告訴Insider網(wǎng)站說，過去100年最流行的訂婚戒指其實(shí)挺簡單的：一顆1克拉左右的圓形鉆石鑲嵌在簡單的黃金指環(huán)上。

According to Brown, there will always be innovation in the diamond industry but trends often "revert to the classics."

布朗說，鉆石行業(yè)一直在創(chuàng)新，但潮流時?！盎貧w經(jīng)典”。

solitaire['sɑl?t?r]: n. 單粒寶石的飾物

carat['k?r?t]: n. 克拉（等于karat）

未來將流行什么樣的戒指？

So, what will come next? Brown thinks that round diamonds will "remain the most popular shape" while oval and cushion cuts will "continue in their rise." The WP Diamonds president also expects other trends to go out of style, like the princess cut popularized in the early 2000s.

那么，接下來將流行什么戒指呢？布朗認(rèn)為，圓形鉆石將“依然是最流行的鉆石形狀”，而橢圓形鉆石和長角階梯切割鉆石也會“繼續(xù)流行下去”。WP Diamonds公司總裁預(yù)測其他一些款式會過時，比如21世紀(jì)初流行過的公主方形切割鉆石戒指。

Unfortunately for those who love colorful stones, Brown said that we can also expect to see a "decline in production of colored diamonds due to supply constraints."

令彩鉆愛好者失望的是，布朗指出，“由于供應(yīng)緊缺，彩鉆的產(chǎn)量將下降”。
