Curious which trends in engagement rings are on the rise in 2024? An increasing number of brides are trending away from traditional ring styles in favor of a more personalized design aesthetic – opting for rings that demonstrate unique individual flair, while still capturing the exquisite and timeless beauty of the essential engagement ring elements. The outcome? Stunningly personal engagement rings that beautifully reflect individual personalities! Keep reading to see which styles we expect to see a lot more of in the coming year!
Three Stones
Three stone rings originated in England’s Georgian Era (1714 – 1837) and almost 200 years later they are again in vogue. Traditionally set with an emerald-cut center stone with baguettes on the sides, brides are now opting for a more modern version, with round, oval, or trillion-cut side stones. The beauty of the classics is that they can always sustain a modern twist, and the 21st-century three-stone ring is a worthy heir to its 18th-century predecessor.
Mixed Metal
These “two-tone” settings blend two or more metals into a single design. Besides their unique appearance, two-tones also offer plenty of opportunities to display some personality. A yellow-gold band with white gold prongs makes the icy brilliance of a diamond center stone shine just a little bit brighter.
Horizontal Settings
Customers are breaking tradition by opting for an unconventional setting for their diamonds. Instead of the traditional vertical placement, they’re choosing to set their center stone horizontally, or East-West. Elongated shapes like radiant, emerald, and oval-cut diamonds serve up a contemporary twist on classic styles and allow modern couples to fuse timeless design elements with a trend-setting edge.
Statement Bands
Another on-trend style offers something new for brides and grooms, both. Intentionally gender-neutral, wide bands with unique designs or textures, and perhaps a stone or two, make a bold statement for modern marrieds who want to break with tradition but still display their commitment through their highly individualized jewelry choices.
Pops of Color
While diamonds are still the first choice for engagement rings, other gems work just as well. Think Princess Diana’s famous sapphire ring. Couples are choosing rings with vibrant stones, such as rich blues, fresh greens, and bold reds. Colored gemstones can also represent a very personal statement. Wearers can display a favorite color, birthstone, or attributes traditionally assigned to certain colors for stones, such as red for passion, yellow for happiness, green for growth, and blue for wisdom.
