At Wm. Harold & Sons Jewelry, we stay ahead of the latest styles while honoring the traditions of fine craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking for a unique statement piece or a refined classic, we’re here to help you find the perfect ring to mark your love story.

The Top Engagement Ring Trends for 2025

Fancy-Shaped Diamonds Take Center Stage

While round diamonds remain a classic choice, 2025 is all about distinctive shapes that enhance individuality. Oval, pear, marquise, and emerald cuts continue to rise in popularity, offering elongated silhouettes that exude sophistication. These shapes not only create a unique look but also maximize the appearance of size and brilliance.

Bold, Sculptural Settings

Minimalist solitaires will always have their place, but 2025 is embracing dramatic, sculptural settings. Think bold metalwork, unexpected prongs, and asymmetrical designs that add a modern twist. These artistic settings highlight the uniqueness of each diamond or gemstone, making them perfect for those who want an engagement ring that stands out.

East-West Settings for a Contemporary Edge

Instead of the traditional vertical placement, East-West settings (where the stone is set horizontally) are becoming a sought-after choice. This sleek, modern orientation gives a fresh perspective to classic diamond shapes like emerald, oval, and marquise, making them feel effortlessly chic and stylish.

Colorful Gemstones for a Personal Touch

Diamonds will always be the centerpiece of engagement rings, but 2025 is seeing a rise in vibrant gemstones as well. Sapphires, emeralds, and rubies are making a statement, either as the main stone or as accents to add a pop of color. These stones not only introduce personality and uniqueness but also carry deep symbolism, making them a meaningful choice for modern couples.

Mixed Metal Magic

Brides are no longer limited to a single metal tone. Mixing white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold in a single ring creates a dynamic and modern look. Whether it’s a two-tone band or contrasting prongs and settings, this trend allows for a more versatile and customized style.

Vintage and Heirloom-Inspired Designs

From intricate filigree to Art Deco motifs, vintage-inspired rings are continuing to captivate those who appreciate old-world charm. Handcrafted details, milgrain edges, and bezel settings lend a sense of history and elegance to new engagement rings. These timeless designs provide a romantic, enduring aesthetic that never goes out of style.

Sustainable and Lab-Grown Diamonds

As sustainability becomes an increasing priority, lab-grown diamonds are emerging as a top choice for eco-conscious couples. These diamonds offer the same brilliance and durability as mined diamonds but with a lower environmental impact. More brides are also opting for recycled metals and ethically sourced stones, making sustainability a key factor in engagement ring shopping.
