The engagement ring is more than just a piece of jewellery; it's a symbol of a shared future, a sparkling promise of a love story still being written. In 2025, the trends we're seeing continue to celebrate individuality, with a focus on designs that are both timeless and deeply personal. This year, it's all about the modern classics, the perfect blend of bold style and thoughtful design.
The Return to Strength: Bezel Settings and Chunky Bands
2025 sees the bezel setting take centre stage, offering a sleek, contemporary aesthetic that’s as practical as it is beautiful. This setting encircles the entire diamond, protecting it from life’s little knocks and providing a smooth, clean line that feels effortlessly modern. Paired with this is the enduring popularity of the chunky gold band. This style creates a sense of strength and permanence, a beautiful foundation for a love that’s built to last. It’s a powerful, confident look that feels both classic and perfectly of the moment.
A Modern Twist: Elongated and Unusual Cuts
While the classic round brilliant will always hold a special place in our hearts, 2025 is the year of the unexpected. We are seeing a surge in couples choosing unusual and elongated diamond cuts that feel both fresh and elegant. The elongated cushion cut, with its soft corners and stunning brilliance, is a firm favourite, offering a romantic twist on a classic shape that is incredibly flattering on the hand. Old mine style cut and rose cuts are also rising in popularity. These distinctive cuts are perfect for couples who want a ring that’s a little different, a piece that stands out just like their own unique story.
Our Predictions for the Future
Looking ahead, we predict the rise of the beautiful two-toned rings, particularly the stunning combination of a warm gold band with a crisp platinum setting, especially on sleek bezel settings. This is a look that combines classic elegance with a modern edge. Georgian-style settings and chunky bands are also here to stay, as dainty styles are replaced by designs that have more physical longevity and a sense of strength. And while the oval cut has been a recent favourite, we believe the elongated cushion cut is set to replace it in popularity, becoming the next big, must-have diamond shape. Excitingly, large carat diamond engagement rings are becoming more accessible, enabling our dream rings to be become a reality.
Ultimately, the most popular ring of 2025 isn't defined by a single style, but by the thoughtful process behind its selection. The best trends are the ones that allow you to choose a ring that is a true reflection of your unique journey, a beautiful chapter of a story that is all your own.
