Engagement Ring Trends 2025
As we look ahead to 2025, engagement ring trends are shifting towards a blend of timeless elegance and bold, modern choices. Here are the key trends we’re forecasting:
Yellow Gold
While platinum and white gold have long been staples in the engagement ring world, 2025 is all about embracing the warm glow of yellow gold. This metal has made a major comeback in recent years and is poised to dominate engagement ring settings in the year ahead. Yellow gold offers a timeless, vintage-inspired look that perfectly complements a wide variety of diamond shapes and sizes.
Many brides are opting for yellow gold to add warmth and personality to their engagement rings. Whether paired with a classic solitaire diamond or with intricate pave detailing, yellow gold settings elevate the beauty of the stone while giving the piece an heirloom feel. For those looking for an engagement ring with a little more character, the yellow gold setting is the perfect way to achieve a timeless look with a modern twist.
Gemstones
While diamonds will always have a special place in the engagement ring world, 2025 will see more couples embracing gemstones centrepieces for their rings. Gemstones offer a striking pop of colour that is both sophisticated and vibrant, making them an excellent alternative to traditional diamonds. With their rich hues and beautiful clean interiors, our range of Chatham gemstones each hold deep symbolic meaning that makes them the perfect centrepiece to any ring.

Thick Eternity Bands
In 2025, the thick eternity band is making waves as a bold and beautiful trend. These rings, either half-set or full-set, offer an undeniable statement of love and commitment. While eternity bands have always been a symbol of everlasting love, the trend is evolving into a more contemporary look with thicker bands and unique stone placements.
These rings offer incredible sparkle from every angle, making them perfect for the bride who wants a bit more glamour and presence in her engagement ring, or a beautiful compliment as part of a complete wedding set. Many brides are pairing this style with a simple solitaire or a smaller stone, letting the band itself take centre stage. It’s the perfect blend of classic and modern, creating a timeless piece that also feels fresh and exciting.

Marquise Cut – Selena Gomez Inspired
One of the most exciting trends in 2025 is the marquise cut, which is gaining popularity, thanks in part to celebrities like Only Murders in the Building and former Disney star Selena Gomez who has been spotted sporting a stunning marquise diamond ring. The marquise cut, known for its elongated, boat-shaped silhouette, offers a sense of sophistication and uniqueness that’s hard to match. With its pointed ends, the marquise cut creates the illusion of a larger diamond, while its elongated shape makes fingers appear longer and more slender.
Perfect for those looking for a non-traditional diamond shape, the marquise cut offers a vintage-inspired elegance that feels both fresh and timeless. Whether paired with diamonds on the band or left as a simple, elegant solitaire, the marquise cut is a fantastic way to make a statement with your engagement ring. Its sleek lines and bold shape offer a touch of glamour that will stand the test of time.
