Engagement Ring Trends 2025-2026
The engagement ring market has experienced significant disruption in 2025, with numerous trends and developments emerging. Several game-changers have already appeared, and many more are anticipated to impact fashion and engagement ring styles. Taylor Swift’s engagement has been all over the internet lately, and the focal point of everyone’s attention is her gorgeous ring, showcasing a large antique old mine-cut diamond, also known as a cushion cut. Large center stones and this specific cut are expected to be the prevailing trends in engagement rings in the near future.
Lab-Grown Diamonds Drive 2025 Engagement Ring Trends
Lab-grown diamonds have been reshaping the engagement ring and bridal jewelry market for some time now. With advanced diamond manufacturing and increasing competition, lab-grown diamond prices have dropped significantly, making affordable engagement rings more accessible than ever. This price shift has reduced demand for mined diamonds and lowered their value. While major jewelry brands are boosting marketing efforts to revive interest in natural diamonds, any strong rebound in mined diamond engagement rings is speculative.
When it comes to engagement ring trends, yellow gold takes center stage.
Yellow gold is clearly leading the way in this year’s designer engagement ring collections. We’ve noticed that while platinum and white gold remain beautiful choices, yellow gold is becoming the top pick for many couples. Rose gold, which was once a standout trend, seems to have reached its peak. Our clients are gravitating toward yellow gold for its warm, timeless appeal and its ability to showcase both classic and modern diamond settings beautifully. Even pop icon Taylor Swift’s engagement ring choice in yellow gold highlights how this classic metal is setting the standard for today’s bridal jewelry trends.
Big Center Stones, Minimal Design: The Solitaire Trend
Center stones have become the undisputed heroes of today’s most popular engagement ring designs. Couples are increasingly focusing on the center stone as the star of the show, favoring larger diamonds and gemstones that command attention. Thanks to more accessible pricing for lab-grown diamonds, upgrading to a bigger, higher-quality stone has never been easier or more affordable. As a result, intricate accent stones and elaborate metalwork are taking a back seat to clean, modern settings that let the main diamond shine. This shift reflects a broader trend toward minimalism and personalization—couples want a bold, standout centerpiece that reflects their unique style.
Popular cuts for engagement rings: oval, marquise, and other specialty-cut diamonds.
Lab-grown diamonds are driving a major shift in the engagement ring market. With lower production costs, diamond cutters no longer need to avoid waste, giving them the freedom to experiment with innovative shapes. As a result, engagement ring designs are pushing the boundaries of optical performance like never before. We’ve noticed a surge in demand for elongated cushion cuts, ovals, and marquise shapes—clients are drawn to these unique, eye-catching rings that remain cost-effective. Expect even more creativity as these shapes continue to gain popularity in bridal jewelry collections.
Moi et Toi: Unique Two-Stone Engagement Rings Take Center Stage
The Toi et Moi engagement ring trend is one of our favorite styles. These rings feature two distinct center stones—often an emerald cut paired with a pear shape—which can be classic diamonds or a mix of colored gemstones. While two-stone engagement rings were once rare, the recent rise of mismatched stones has brought a fresh, modern twist to engagement ring designs. We’re also seeing this trend evolve into designs with three or more mismatched stones, and we expect even more creative variations to emerge from our studio in the coming year.
