Top Engagement Ring Trend Predictions for 2023
Posted on: 30/01/2023
2023 is here, and there's a whole raft of engagement ring trends on the horizon. Engagement rings have been one of the most important pieces of jewellery in people's collections for centuries. And the magic and joy that the perfect engagement ring can bring has not been lost, even today.
So, let’s take a closer look at the engagement ring trends coming in 2023…
Marquise-cut Engagement Rings
First up as a 2023 engagement ring trend contender is marquise-cut engagement rings. Identifiable by their longer, thinner gemstone, marquise-cut engagement rings resemble their oval cousins, but with added drama. While they may be more understated, they don’t compromise on elegance or impact. You can choose a gold band, where the shape of the diamond pops against the contrasting colour or go for a more subtle silver so that everything seamlessly blends in. Why not swap out the diamond and play around with different colours? It's the striking shape that will do most of the talking.Modern Vintage-style Engagement Rings
Certain looks are timeless, which is handy when you need a piece of jewellery that your partner won’t ever want to take off! That's why so many people opt for modern vintage-style engagement rings. They're the perfect marriage between old and new, and it's no wonder that they're a contender for the 2023 engagement ring trend selection.
From Victorian to Edwardian-era styles, they're inspired by vintage designs, only they're crafted using contemporary techniques. Modern vintage-style engagement rings are not only classic, but they’re also likely to be gratefully received as they’ll add something special to any of your partner’s outfits.
Sustainably Sourced Engagement Rings
Buying items made from responsibly sourced materials is becoming increasingly important in the fashion world – just as it is in the jewellery world. Many jewellers have adapted their processes to ensure they’re sourcing stones mined using ethical practices or creating pieces made from recycled materials, for example.
It's worth checking whether a jeweller's sustainability credentials are listed on its website. Recycling is becoming common practice these days, as well as certifications that prove the materials have been ethically obtained, but not all jewellery companies are there yet. Keep an eye out for whether a brand is accredited by bodies such as the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).
Halo Engagement Rings
For anyone wanting to make a statement in 2023, halo engagement rings are a great jewellery trend to follow. The clue's in the name – a centre stone is surrounded by a ring of miniature stones to create a halo effect.
How extravagant you go is your choice, with sizes and shapes varying from outright indulgent to more subtle options. You can even mix and match colour with diamonds – a sapphire or emerald gemstone surrounded by smaller diamonds is sure to be swooned over.
Coloured Stones
Fancy swapping out a diamond for a coloured stone instead? Lots of people have chosen colour as their centrepiece in recent years, and there’s no sign of this jewellery trend easing up in 2023. Not only does a hint of colour look great with different outfits, but it also allows you to select a stone that feels sentimental to you.
From sapphire blue to emerald green, you might want to choose a birthstone or a stone that recalls a special memory.
