ENGAGEMENT RING TRENDS FOR 2025
As we step into 2025, the world of engagement rings is brimming with exciting trends. With over 60 years and three generations of expertise in working with diamonds and bespoke engagement rings, we have rounded up our insights on the top engagement ring trends for the coming year. From unique diamond cuts to vibrant gemstones and innovative settings, here's what you can expect for engagement rings in 2025.
Marquise diamonds
2024 saw the oval diamond reign supreme, but in 2025, we predict the marquise diamond will steal the spotlight. Thanks to high-profile celebrity proposals, such as Selena Gomez's, the marquise cut is gaining immense popularity. This elegant, elongated shape is perfect for creating a dramatic effect and making the diamond appear larger than it actually is.
Wider and diamond-set bands
While 2024 was the year of the slim band, 2025 is set to embrace wider, more substantial bands, decorated with additional diamonds. This trend offers a bolder look and provides more surface area for intricate designs and additional sparkle. Whether it’s a single row of pavé diamonds or a more elaborate design, thicker bands are making a strong comeback.
Coloured gemstones
Coloured gemstones are poised to make a significant impact in 2025, especially emeralds and sapphires. These vibrant stones are perfect for creating Art Deco inspired designs, which continue to be popular. The rich green hue of emeralds and the deep blue of sapphires offer a striking contrast to the traditional diamond, adding a unique and personal touch to engagement rings.
Bezel settings
Bezel settings are gaining traction for their modern aesthetic and practical benefits. In a bezel setting, the diamond is encircled by a thin metal rim that holds it securely in place. This setting is ideal for those with an active lifestyle, as it offers superior protection for the diamond, preventing chips and other damage. Additionally, bezel settings can make a smaller diamond appear larger and more prominent.
More than one stone
The trend of featuring multiple stones in an engagement ring is set to continue its rise in 2025. The ‘twice as nice’ and ‘three isn’t a crowd’ approach to diamonds allows for creative and unique designs. Rings with two or three stones can symbolise various meanings, such as the past, present, and future, or two individuals coming together as one. This trend offers endless possibilities for customisation, making each ring truly unique.
Personalisation and customisation
Personalisation continues to be a key trend in engagement rings. Couples are increasingly looking for ways to make their rings unique and meaningful. Whether it’s through custom engravings, incorporating birthstones, or using heirloom stones or metals, the desire for personalised pieces that are one-of-a-kind is stronger than ever.
