Have you ever dreamed about owning a huge rock of an engagement ring but feel paralysed by fear at the thought of losing it or leaving it somewhere by accident?

Thankfully, there's an engagement ring trend that seems to be gaining popularity with millennials in recent months, and this diamond would be pretty hard to misplace.

Instead of diamond engagement rings that can be taken on and off, some are choosing to pierce the ring finger instead, making a more permanent mark.

These finger piercings are a bit like tattoo engagement rings in the way that they last forever, only with these, you still get the diamond.

And yes, it looks incredibly painful.

You can either have a single diamond 'floating' in the middle of your ring finger.

Or choose a more intricate design.

Either way, you'll be left with a tiny scar if you decide to remove the piercing, so it really is a permanent mark of your commitment to someone.
