Engagement Ring Trends for 2024
The Holidays are approaching, and you know what that means – engagement season! Choosing where to go to dinner with your partner can be tough enough, imagine picking a ring that you have to wear forever. Some would argue that a woman picking her own ring is a trend in itself, but the “surprise” element of an engagement ring is declining. Women want to have a say in what their ring looks like and want their ring to encompass their personality. Whether you’re interested in simple and classic, or picking something based on the times, here are trends we can’t wait to see in 2024!
Colorful Gemstones
As beautiful as a simple diamond is, colored gemstones have become popular. A different stone is a way to go outside the box and create your own look. According to Refinery 29’s Engagement Ring article, content creator Courtney Lynn says, “Whether it’s their birthstone or just a color that speaks more to their style and personality, it’s a way to create something that feels a bit more unique.”
Chunky is the new Dainty
In TZR’s Chunky Engagement Ring Era article, designer Brent Neale mentions “While diamonds may be the most durable of all stones, they are still natural gemstones, and protecting them with a thicker bezel is just one way to have a sense of security.” In 2023, we saw a lot of thin bands with larger diamonds. Although some may still go for the delicate look, chunky engagement bands are said to become more and more common in the upcoming year. The number one factor in this change is all based on durability. Jewelers are finding that more couples are choosing a thicker setting.
Two is better than One
The French style “toi et moi” ring, meaning “you and me”, is a current trend that is sure to stick in the years to come. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy set the trend nearly 70 years ago, and celebrities such as Megan Fox and Ariana Grande have brought it back. Business Insider article states that women are now less focused on ensuring they have a center diamond or stone on their ring, and instead want to make a statement. If you can’t choose a specific cut or stone that you like, this may be the best option for you!
