1. Color: Couples are choosing colored gemstones like sapphires (especially Montana sapphires with teal and blue hues) and emeralds, or opting for colored natural diamonds like with subtle champagne, yellow and brown hues.
2. Chunkier, Thicker Settings: Wider bands and chunkier styles such as signet bands, dome style rings, cigar bands and bezel settings are popular. These are more practical for everyday wear and active lifestyles.
3. East-West Settings: Stones are set horizontally, which is a practical way to wear fancy-shaped stones.
4. Vintage-Inspired Rings: Designers are creating new settings inspired by periods like Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Victorian, and Edwardian ages. These modern interpretations are sturdy for daily wear and can accommodate heirloom, antique, or new stones.
5. Fancy Shape, Pointy Center Stones: Unique and elongated shapes are trending, including marquise, pear cuts, emerald cuts, radiant cuts, and elongated cushions. While oval centers are still present, there’s a shift towards these pointier, elongated shapes.
6. Large Center Stones (3+ Carats) : More women are choosing large center stones, typically 3 carats and up, often lab-grown diamonds when affordability is important. The increased availability and lower prices of lab diamonds in these sizes make them more accessible for couples on a budget for whom size is a priority.
