2025’s Standout styles: Our editor’s picks
Our favorite engagement rings this year blend classic inspiration with modern twists to suit every personality.
Modern solitaires with a twist
The classic solitaire gets an upgrade in 2025. Knife-edge bands give a sharp, brilliant aesthetic when matched with a radiant-cut solitaire diamond, perfect for someone who loves understated elegance with a modern twist.
Elongated fancy cuts
A certain old mine cushion-cut diamond is making waves across social media. Elongated stones, whether oval, marquise, emerald or radiant cut offer finger-flattering silhouettes that elongate the hand and give a regal yet modern feel. These cuts pair especially well with delicate side stones or minimalistic bands, creating a design that’s refined without being fussy. Try an east-west stone orientation for a uniquely-yours look.
Colored gemstone centers
This year sees more brides embracing color, and we’re here for it. Sapphires, emeralds and even rubies and garnets are emerging as standout center stones for engagement rings. Celebrities and trendsetters alike are opting for these vibrant choices, proving that a dash of color can elevate traditional romance. Try a blue topaz engagement ring featuring delicate diamond details.
Hidden and halo details
Subtle sparkle reigns supreme with trending engagement rings featuring underhalos, minimal halos and scalloped pavé. The refined details of this cushion-cut moissanite halo with a pavé band offer extra brilliance without dominating the design, creating depth and intrigue.
Antique & vintage-inspired
Milgrain edges, filigree detailing and geometric halos bring antique charm into modern engagement rings, like a delicate lace border on a love letter. These estate-inspired designs, like this oval-shaped diamond embellished with delicate stones, capture the romance of eras past.
Sleek bezels
Low-profile bezel settings are gaining popularity for their clean lines and practicality. Ideal for active lifestyles, they combine durability with a modernist aesthetic. Try a green amethyst and diamond bezel ring to mix colors and styles.
