2025 Top Engagement Ring Trends

At Plateau Jewelers, we believe your engagement ring should be as distinctive as your love story. Whether you're dreaming of something timeless, looking for a bold twist, or ready to design something completely custom, 2025 is delivering fresh inspiration from every angle.

Here are the top engagement ring trends we're seeing—and crafting—for the year ahead.

1. Bold Bands and Sculptural Designs

Architecture meets elegance

Thicker bands, geometric shapes, and asymmetrical forms are making their mark in 2025. These rings feel like wearable art, perfect for anyone wanting a look that’s a bit more daring without losing the essence of romance.

Designs we love:

  • Split shank bands with clean edges

  • Asymmetrical clusters with colored accent stones

  • Wraparound designs that hug the center diamond

Looking for something off the beaten path? Our designers at Plateau Jewelers love crafting pieces that are bold, beautiful, and totally you.

2. Vintage Reimagined

Nostalgia meets modern craftsmanship

Vintage-inspired rings never truly go out of style—but in 2025, we’re seeing a revival of romantic Edwardian and Art Deco influences with a distinctly modern twist.

Expect to see:

  • Intricate filigree and hand engraving

  • Step-cut diamonds in unique halos

  • Milgrain details and ornate prong work

They feel rich in history but are made with today’s durability and precision—so you can wear them confidently, every day.

3. The Rise of Elongated Diamond Shapes

Sleek, graceful, and so flattering

This year, we’re seeing a clear shift toward elongated shapes that offer both elegance and visual impact. Think:

  • Oval diamonds for graceful brilliance

  • Emerald cuts for Art Deco sophistication

  • Radiant cuts for that blend of sparkle and structure

  • Pear-shaped diamonds for those who want something sculptural and romantic

These shapes elongate the finger and offer a larger appearance per carat—making them not only stunning, but smart.

At Plateau Jewelers in Sammamish, we carry a curated selection of handpicked natural diamonds in every cut imaginable. Try them on in person to see what speaks to you.

4. Hidden Halos and Subtle Sparkle

Design details that reward a closer look

Halos are still a favorite in 2025, but now they’re going… stealth mode.

Hidden halos—where small diamonds are tucked just beneath the center stone—add a touch of radiance without overwhelming the design.

Also on-trend:

  • Pavé accents on gallery rails

  • Surprise diamonds under the setting

  • Micro-detail milgrain for vintage lovers

These touches are all about refinement—and they’re perfect for those who appreciate thoughtful design over flash.

5. East-West Settings: A Fresh Trend

Turning tradition on its side—literally

The East-West setting—where elongated stones like ovals, emeralds, or marquise are set horizontally—offers a contemporary take on classic shapes.

It’s minimalist, stylish, and completely unexpected. Plus, it’s ideal for those looking for a lower-set profile that’s still bold and eye-catching.

If you’re someone who appreciates modern design with a tailored feel, this might just be your perfect match.

6. Color Is Having Its Moment

Sapphires, champagne diamonds, and pops of personality

While white diamonds still reign supreme, colored gemstones are becoming increasingly popular as center or accent stones. From vivid blue sapphires to subtle champagne diamonds, a touch of color adds meaning and individuality to your ring.

Not ready to go fully bold? Consider using colored stones in side settings or hidden accents to personalize your design.

Create Your Own Trend

Custom engagement rings are more in-demand than ever

More than anything, 2025 is about personal expression. Your ring should reflect your taste, your story, and your vision of forever. At Plateau Jewelers, we make that process easy, collaborative, and exciting.
