Posted on: 26/02/2024

Are you planning to propose this year? If you're unsure where to start when choosing a ring, don't panic! We have you covered with five engagement ring trends we expect to be huge in 2024.

From out-of-the-ordinary styles to specific types of metal, we've whittled down the top trends into a beautiful, inspiring collection. Have a look and see which styles end up being factored into your final decision.

Asymmetry

Asymmetrical clothing has taken the internet by storm in the past year as fashion lovers embrace a more individual and relaxed look. Meanwhile, the jewellery world has plenty to offer in the realm of asymmetry. In many ways, this trend relieves the pressure of finding that 'perfect' ring.

An asymmetrical engagement ring in 2024 means that your partner can treasure something unique. Some might say asymmetrical rings symbolise someone's personality more accurately. Whether you go for an imperfectly shaped cluster ring or a more sculptural number with a curved band, there are plenty of ways to embrace this trend.

White Gold

Many experts predict that white gold bands will be favoured over yellow gold options. This is one of the 2024 engagement ring trends you might start to see on your social media timelines when people post their engagement ring photos. You might notice rings appearing cool-toned and brighter as more people begin to tap into this trend over warmer tones.

Coloured stones such as sapphire really pop with a white gold band. Diamonds can look extra bright too. While the colour of an engagement ring band is your choice, this trend might just persuade you to lean towards something a little cooler in tone.

Solitaire Styles

Sometimes, the classics are the best. Solitaire styles are set to be a popular engagement ring option for 2024, with many people lusting after a single stone. There are endless cuts to choose from, including princess, round and oval, which means you can give it a more personal touch.

Then you can play around with the band to find a style, setting and metal that suits your vision. The all-important stone in the centre will be the star of the show either way. Celebrities have opted for solitaire styles, including Kourtney Kardashian and Molly-Mae, showing that it's a worthy addition to our engagement ring trend predictions for 2024.

Sustainable Elements

Whether you go for recycled gemstones or sustainably sourced metals, 'conscious' engagement rings are here to stay – even beyond 2024. The industry is constantly evolving to uphold more ethical jewellery practices, both in a social and environmental sense.

Understanding how the components of your ring were sourced and whether it was done ethically can help you make your purchase with confidence. If you're unsure, speak to a jeweller and they can advise you on their accreditations and whether they offer dedicated lines that satisfy sustainable practices.

Oval Shapes

Oval-cut rings are a stunning option for anyone seeking a ring with a flattering elongating effect. Plus, it can create the illusion of a larger diamond or stone. Blake Lively's ring has an oval-cut pink diamond set in rose gold with pavé diamonds, while Hailey Bieber's includes a magnificent oval-cut diamond on a gold band. If there's anyone to take inspiration from for 2024 engagement ring trends, it's these two.

If you'd prefer a more dazzling ring, you could opt for an oval-shaped gem, such as your birthstone, with a surrounding diamond cluster to create eye-catching contrast. Kate Middleton's ring is a stunning example, fusing an oval sapphire with 14 surrounding diamonds.
