2024 Engagement Ring Trends
Every year we see more engagement ring styles emerge. Gone are the days of everyone having the same white, halo engagement ring. Most couples are opting to create bespoke rings together to symbolize their unique relationship. Working with a custom jewelry designer provides a unique experience with the result being a gorgeous one-of-a-kind ring.
Options have grown with the introduction of lab grown diamonds, physically identical to mined diamonds but more environmentally friendly and affordable, as well as the popularity of colored gemstones. With so many options, selecting a center stone that speaks to you and your style has never been easier. Here are our top 10 trends we are seeing in 2024.
1. Elongated Shapes
Diamonds cut into elongated shapes such as emerald, radiant, and oval make your finger appear longer and more slender, and our gorgeous "Audree" ring is the perfect example. This 3.04-carat elongated cushion-cut diamond ring will add graceful length to your hand and look gorgeous when it’s stacked with a few extra bands. The lab diamond center stone features a hidden halo and round brilliant stones that run along 3/4 the length of the 14-karat white gold band.
2. Custom Hidden Details
Solitaire rings are always a classic choice, but hidden details like a birthstone or an initial that marks your new last name will make your ring unique. Using a filigree letter or colorful gem that’s set into the band or under the center stone adds a touch of unexpected charm. Our 3-carat Oval Hidden 'W' ring is a perfect example of a timeless diamond solitaire set into 14-karat gold prongs with a hidden initial that’s a shining reminder of your union. Schedule a virtual or in-person appointment to learn how we can personalize your ring.
3. Bezels
Bezels are the epitome of a cool girl engagement ring. Drawing attention with their bold look this protective setting enhances your center stone and makes it look larger. Bezels create a smooth, sleek look, with no prongs to snag on your clothes. "Adele" is a 14-karat gold bezel-set 1.57-carat marquise diamond ring that is designed to allow any straight wedding band to fit perfectly against it and maximizing its stacking potential. The elegant, simple design gives your engagement ring a modern flair.
4. Custom-Cut Gemstones
If you want to celebrate your love in spectacular fashion, dare to dazzle with a gemstone ring in an unconventional custom shape. Design every dimension of your center stone to create a totally unique gem, like this 2-carat custom-cut moissanite. This dark gray, kite-shaped jewel is the star of our "Gray Moissanite Wedding Set". With amethyst accent stones that complement the moissanite’s fiery flash, this ring will express your love in living color.
5. Compass Point Prongs
With our stunning compass point setting, functional prongs become a stunning design detail. "Alizah" is a contemporary engagement ring that features a hand-selected emerald-cut lab diamond solitaire mounted on a delicate, 14-karat yellow gold band. The compass point prong setting elevates a timeless design, and it’s available now for special order.
6. Sapphire Center Stones
Sapphires are resilient, fancy stones that come in all colors of the rainbow, making them wonderfully lively center stones. "Ariel Sapphire" is an 0.85-carat round natural teal sapphire engagement ring set in 14-karat gold. This gorgeous gem is untouched by heat treatment, meaning its spectacular color was not enhanced. Compass-set claw prongs and a band set with 0.12 carats of natural diamonds enhance the vibrant center stone.
7. Geometric Shapes
Striking, exacting, and precise geometric shapes make a stunning statement. These designs are crafted by custom-cutting your center stone or creating geometric halo around a conventionally cut diamond or colored gem. Our "Akira" ring features a brilliant 1.03-carat custom-cut hexagonal lab diamond that's bezel-set in a 14-karat band lined with graduated lab diamonds. "Alana" is a one-of-a-kind ring with a teal oval sapphire that’s framed by an elongated 14-karat yellow gold hexagon halo.
8. 3-Stone Rings
3-stone rings are based on a classic Georgian-era style from the 1700s. Their center stone is flanked by two smaller stones that align to symbolize the past, present, and future of your enduring love. Today, the timeless design is back in the spotlight. Modern versions of this ring showcase side stones that differ in shape from the larger center gem. In this 3-Stone Engagement Ring, a one-carat round diamond is prong-set against pear-shaped side stones that give this ring a contemporary update.
9. Pop of Color
If you just can’t choose between a diamond or gemstone engagement ring, why not have both? Add a pop of color to your finger with sapphires, emeralds, or any other gemstone you love. Expressive colored gems traditionally have special meanings, and today, they’re also celebrity favorites. Our "Alina" ring will add a vivid flash of color to your hand with two 0.36-carat (total weight) natural blue sapphire baguettes that flank a 1.78-carat radiant lab diamond center stone set in 14-karat white gold.
10. Restyled Heirlooms
Honor your heritage by transforming a loved one’s prized gemstones into a ring that celebrates your own personal style. Meaningful stones with cherished history can make your engagement ring even more special.
