Top 5 Engagement Ring Trends for 2025
If you’re hoping to find the perfect engagement ring in 2025, we’ve rounded up a few trends that we think you’ll love. From timeless classics to bold new styles, these designs are shaping the way couples are customizing their diamond rings this year. Although trends don’t mean everything, they can be a great starting point to spark ideas for your custom engagement ring design.
1. Marquise Diamonds Are Taking Over the Oval Craze
Oval diamonds may have reigned supreme in recent years, but marquise diamonds are quickly becoming the new favorite, thanks to Selena Gomez. Known for their elongated shape and pointed ends, marquise diamonds not only stand out for their unique silhouette but also for their ability to maximize carat weight. In fact, marquise diamonds can appear up to twice their carat weight due to their clever shape and larger surface area.
This trend is perfect for someone looking for a ring that’s both bold and elegant. At Buchroeders, we can design a ring that highlights the beauty of a marquise diamond in any setting—whether it’s a sleek solitaire or a more intricate design with side stones.
2. Chunkier Bands Make a Statement
Chunky bands are taking center stage in 2025, offering a bold and modern twist on traditional engagement rings. A thicker band not only feels substantial but also gives you more room for creative details like engravings, brushed finishes, or even pavé diamonds.
If you love this trend but worry about it overpowering your center stone, we’ve got you covered. Buchroeders signature 3mm petite cigar band strikes the perfect balance. It provides that chunky, stylish look while still letting your center diamond take center stage.
3. Antique Cuts Add Vintage Charm
Antique cuts are a romantic nod to the past and bring a truly timeless appeal to modern engagement rings. These diamonds, such as old European cuts and old mine cuts, feature larger facets that give off larger flashes of light. What’s even better? They come in several different shapes, so you can choose one that speaks to your personal style.
At Buchroeders, we love incorporating antique cuts into custom designs. Whether you want to recreate the charm of a family heirloom or put a contemporary spin on a vintage classic, the possibilities are endless.
4. Three-Stone Rings Continue to Captivate
Three-stone engagement rings are a trend that’s here to stay. Representing your past, present, and future, these rings are as sentimental as they are stunning. The beauty of this trend is the endless customization options available.
For a classic and elegant look, consider an emerald-cut diamond with trapezoid side stones. If you’re looking for something more modern, an oval center diamond flanked by smaller oval side stones creates a harmonious, yet unique design.
5. Bezel Settings Are on the Rise
Bezel settings are having a major moment in 2025, and it’s no surprise why. Known for their sleek, minimalist design, bezel settings give off the ultimate cool-girl aesthetic. This setting completely encases the diamond in a thin metal rim, providing extra protection while still looking incredibly chic.
One of the best things about bezel settings is their versatility. You can mix metal types to accentuate your center stone and add a truly eye-catching element to your ring. Imagine a yellow gold band with a platinum bezel, or vice versa—the possibilities are endless!
