Our roundup of what’s trending in wedding and engagement ring styles
- Go East-West
In this setting, the stone sits horizontally on the band, the opposite of its usual placement. Favoured in the past by celebrities like Portia de Rossi and Kate Beckinsale, it is expected to have a moment in 2022. Added benefit: It makes any cut of stone stand out.

- A Fresh Twist
When one or more bands are twisted, the effect can be highly contemporary. Or, the ring’s style will appear more natural, in keeping with the rising popularity of organic jewellery shapes.

- Hue on Trend
Diamonds today come in a range of colours, such as canary yellow, chocolate brown or pale pink. Or, follow the lead of many celebrities and ditch the diamond in lieu of a coloured gemstone. The most popular: blue or pink sapphires or red rubies. Not ready to give up the traditional diamond? For something different, some brides go with a central white diamond surrounded by a halo of tiny coloured stones.

- Double Up
Last year’s stacking trend has given way to two interlocking bands. It makes a definite style statement and also symbolizes two hearts becoming one. Any type of stone may be incorporated to customize your ring. Or double the bling by going with two bands covered with pave diamonds.

- Good as Gold
In 2018, rose gold was the hottest precious metal trend. And for some years now, white gold or platinum has been the choice of trendy brides who like its modern look, including Meghan Markle. But this year, a return to classic looks means yellow gold is making a comeback for both engagement and wedding rings.

- A Cut Above
Many brides in 2019 are foregoing the round solitaire diamond for one with a more distinctive cut. As seen on the ring fingers of many celebrities, pear or oval shapes are on the rise, closely followed by emerald or marquise cuts. It’s a way to personalize the look without being too outré.
Bonus: They have just as much sparkle as a round-cut stone, but may appear larger.♥️
