Engagement Ring Trends to Look Out for in 2020

Since we are knee-deep in engagement season, today, we are going to talk about what everyone thinks about when hearing the word “engagement” – THE RING!

Ringing in the new year and a new decade - engagement rings are taking a turn for the non-traditional in a big and trendy way! A silver or gold band with a diamond stone isn’t your only choice anymore. You can play with different cuts, stones, and bands, ultimately picking a ring that fully suits you and your personality. Of course, you could choose not to wear a ring at all, or rock multiple rings (hello stackers), you can check out our blog post on that here. But, whether you’re choosing a ring for yourself or dropping hints to your partner about what they should be looking for, we’ve listed five engagement ring trends to look out for in the new year!

Multi-Stone Band

Usually, most engagement rings are set with one main stone, but for 2020, cluster and three-stone rings (think Meghan Markle’s three-diamond stone ring) are taking center stage. If you’re not into solitaire settings, this is an eye-catching option that will allow you to play with color and stone size. You could go for a cluster of five smaller stones or even two large gemstones that are set side by side.

Colorful Stones

Once seen as an avant-garde choice, gemstones are now rising in popularity as more and more brides want that pop of color in their ring. Emerald, sapphire, and garnet are being added to engagement rings as the main stone to provide a unique element to an otherwise traditional set and give modern brides that one-of-a-kind ring they’re searching for.

Solitaires

Not to be contradictory to our mention of multi-stone rings as a rising trend for 2020, solitaire settings are also piquing the interest of brides everywhere, including celebs like J-Lo and Jennifer Lawrence. Perfect for a minimalist bride, this trend is on the simpler side, but it’s a timeless choice that allows you to add some eye-catching elements to your band. You can opt for a larger stone, your birthstone, or a unique band.

Rose Gold

Platinum and gold have always been the go-to for engagement ring metals, but brides are now choosing a more romantic style with rose gold. Not only does rose gold perfectly complement a diamond stone, but it also allows a bride to add color to her ring without choosing a gemstone. A lot of brides are even deciding to mix rose, white and yellow gold bands to create a stacked ring set for their engagement and wedding rings.

Emerald and Oval Cuts

Halo cuts have been a continuous engagement ring trend, but emerald and oval cuts are expected to reign as the most in-demand stone cut this year. They not only exude modern elegance, but these cuts also add a dramatic feel to the ring. They can elongate the appearance of a stone and make it seem larger at first glance.
