Whether you’re drawn to vintage revivals, ocean-inspired motifs, or geometric modernity, there’s something for everyone this year.

1. Cherry Romance: The Power of Red

Deep cherry reds are making a bold comeback, with gemstones like garnets and rubies, red engagement rings are taking center stage. Gen-Z and Millennials are embracing this dramatic yet romantic aesthetic, blending modern boldness with vintage charm.

  • Incorporate cherry tree branch details into the band, with garnets as “cherry blossoms” or cherries.

2. Sultry Siren: Ocean-Inspired Mystique

From moss agate to pearls, 2025 celebrates the mystery and allure of the sea. Think iridescent hues, swirling metal details, and stones like labradorite, sapphires, and moonstone for a moody, ethereal vibe.

3. Layers of Luxury: Baroque-Inspired Designs

The Rococo aesthetic is sweeping through 2025 with its ornate details, pastel gemstones, and feminine flair. Inspired by the late Baroque period, these rings are whimsical yet luxurious, with elements like bows, scrolls, and filigree.

  • Try cabochon cuts or contrasting pastel gemstones (like Aquamarine with pearls) for a whimsical, vintage feel.
  • Design a wide band with scalloped or beveled edges inspired by Baroque mirror frames.

4. Geometric Modernity: Shapes that Stand Out

From elongated cuts like emerald and marquise to multi-center stones, geometric designs are defining modern engagement rings. Rings with clean lines, bold shapes, and stackable sets are perfect for the minimalist bride or groom.

  • Create a matching set with complementary geometric elements.

5. Castlecore: Medieval Elegance

With its nod to Gothic architecture and medieval romance, Castlecore highlights deep-colored stones, shield shapes, and vintage detailing. Think black moissanite, garnet, and antique rubies set in dramatic, ornate designs.

8. Colorful Stacks & Ring Sets

Color and versatility are key in 2025, with ring stacks and multi-stone sets becoming a favorite for both women and men. Gemstones like sapphires, tourmaline, and alexandrite bring vibrancy to layered looks.
