Discover 2024's Top Engagement Ring Trends

Trends tend to be quite subtle in the engagement ring world. When you are searching for something to wear for a lifetime, it is important for the design of your dream ring to stand the test of time. However, there do tend to be longer-term trends where particular types of rings become more popular. For instance, white has been the most popular metal colour for rings for many years now, with platinum becoming the classic choice for most couples.

In recent years, lab-grown diamonds have also made their introduction to the engagement ring market. However, over the past few years, their value has fallen, and DeBeers recently withdrew from the lab-grown market in their jewellery collections. In this journal, we will highlight some of the recent engagement trends you may want to consider when searching for your perfect piece.

Whilst a diamond solitaire is a classic choice for a timeless engagement ring, in recent years we have seen more designs with the addition of a diamond band to give an additional sense of glamour to this classic choice.

Trilogy rings date back hundreds of years, and whilst a design with three stones that signify the past, present, and future is always going to be a strong choice for engagement jewellery, designs have evolved over the years with more varied designs to add a twist to this traditional style.

As a contrast to the minimal look of a classic solitaire, designs with intricate details and settings that reflect back to a bygone era are a popular modern choice and add a sense of romanticism to this most sentimental of jewellery choices.

Whilst round brilliant continues to be the go-to cut for an engagement ring, more and more people are now opting for a more unusual cut, like the oval or pear cut. As well as having a ring that makes you stand out from the crowd, you have the added benefit of a ring where the shape elongates your fingers and gives your hands added elegance.

Whilst diamonds have been the classic choice for engagement rings for many years, we do see more clients opting to include a coloured stone in their engagement jewellery as a more individual look. A popular idea is to incorporate your birthstone into your ring to make a personal statement.

For those that wish to break free from traditional expectations, there has also been a move away from the traditional idea of an engagement ring and towards wearing something unexpected to reflect your own individualism.

Couples are looking more and more for rings that reflect their ethics regarding sustainability. That is why we see more and more people turning to pre-loved when it comes to an engagement ring. Not only will you find that your dream ring has a more affordable price tag, but you can purchase knowing that by buying a ring that is already in circulation, you have made the ultimate eco-friendly statement. Although, with a ring that looks indistinguishable from a new item, it is up to you if you wish to share the secret!

At Xupes, we enjoy nothing more than helping our clients select their perfect design. We specialise in rings that are timeless and look as stunning today as when they were originally produced and will be with you for a lifetime of happiness.
