2025 Engagement Ring Trends: What’s In Style This Year?

Engagement ring design has never been more personal, thoughtful, or ethically inspired. In 2025, couples are moving beyond tradition and embracing rings that reflect individual style, sustainable values, and design-forward thinking.

At Diamond Lab, we work closely with modern couples—both in-person at our Perth showroom and virtually across Australia—to create meaningful rings that last a lifetime.

Here’s a look at the top engagement ring trends for 2025, and what they say about the future of fine jewellery.

1. Lab Grown Diamonds Are Now Mainstream

Lab grown diamonds are no longer “alternative”—they’re the standard for the ethically minded. In 2025, we’re seeing more couples choose lab grown diamonds for their:

• Traceable origin

• Sustainable impact

• Exceptional value for size and clarity

• Custom design flexibility

They allow you to go bigger, bolder, or cleaner—without compromising your ethics.

💎 A favourite in this category:
👉 Luna Oval Solitaire Ring, clean, minimal, and timeless.

2. Oval, Radiant, and Elongated Cuts Dominate

The round brilliant cut is still beloved, but 2025 is all about elongated elegance.

Trending shapes:

• Oval – Soft, feminine, flattering on all hand types

• Radiant – A mix of emerald’s silhouette and round’s brilliance

• Marquise – Vintage glamour with dramatic flair

• Emerald – Clean lines, understated sparkle

These shapes not only elongate the finger, but also appear larger per carat due to their extended surface area.

3. Bezel & Half-Bezel Settings Are Everywhere

2025 is embracing function meets form. Bezel settings—where the diamond is encased in a smooth metal rim—offer:

• A sleek, modern look

• Excellent protection for daily wear

• A minimalist yet luxurious feel

Designers are also playing with open bezels or half bezels, adding light and elegance without compromising security.

🌟 A top pick:
Solara Oval Half Bezel Ring

4. Mixed Metals & Unexpected Colours

In 2025, we’re seeing a rise in non-traditional metal choices, including:

• Yellow gold paired with icy white diamonds

• Rose gold with warm-toned centre stones

• Platinum and white gold combinations for two-tone effects

Customisation is key. Some couples are requesting coloured lab diamonds—such as pale pinks, champagnes, or vivid yellows—for extra personality.

5. Hidden Halos & Surprise Details

Personal touches are everything this year.

Expect to see:

• Hidden halos beneath the centre stone

• Accent stones set in the gallery or bridge

• Birthstones tucked inside the band

• Hand engraving with dates, coordinates, or initials

These intimate features make each ring meaningful beyond aesthetics.

6. East-West & Asymmetrical Settings

Forget symmetry for symmetry’s sake—2025 is all about breaking the mould.

• East-west settings (sideways ovals, emeralds, or marquises) offer a modern, unexpected twist

• Asymmetrical clusters or three-stone arrangements highlight individuality

• Offset bezels create visual balance with a contemporary edge

These styles cater to non-traditional brides who want something truly one-of-a-kind.

7. Custom Design Is the New Standard

More couples are co-designing their engagement rings, choosing every detail from:

• Stone shape and size

• Cut quality and carat

• Metal and finish

• Prong style and setting height

• Secret touches (birthstones, engraving, mixed stones)

With lab grown diamonds and moissanite, design flexibility increases dramatically. At Diamond Lab, we specialise in helping clients build rings from scratch that tell a story.

Final Thoughts: 2025 Is the Year of Intentional Jewellery

Gone are the days of cookie-cutter engagement rings. Today’s couples are choosing rings that reflect their values, aesthetics, and love stories. Whether you're drawn to a minimalist bezel or a maximalist coloured diamond, 2025 is the year to create something meaningful—and make it yours.
