As 2024 is drawing to an end, we are looking forward to the newest engagement ring trends incoming for 2025.
Whilst classic solitaire engagement rings are still a hit, 2025 is all about your ring telling your story with meaningful personal touches and a design that reflects your individual style.
Bespoke custom-made rings are still high on the agenda for 2025, couples love selecting a loose diamond together and then customising the small details of their ring. Small details can make all the difference!
Each bespoke ring is expertly crafted
At Valentina Fine Jewellery, we are excited to create your bespoke ring whilst embracing the latest trends and the adventurous or classic style of the wearer. As more and more couples are opting to design their rings together, we are noticing the ladies in the driving seat choosing their ring style, and swaying away from the traditional styles.

Now, lets look at the top 6 ring trends for 2025!
1. Elongated Vintage Cushion Cut Diamonds
This ongoing 2024 trend is continuing up and we love it at Valentina Fine Jewellery - old cut diamonds, in particular elongated cushion and elongated old mine cut diamonds.

Antique oval, pear and moval cut diamonds with beautiful large culets and large facets have also joined the growing popularity. The elongated diamond shape of cushion and old mine cut diamonds, whilst rarer and harder to find really frames the fingers perfectly and is worth the wait - please kindly allow around 2 months to find that perfect stone.

We are also seeing an increase of newly cut diamonds polished into an antique shape, for those coupes who prefer a new diamond. At Valentina Fine Jewellery, we are proud to offer both - true antique diamonds with beautiful imperfectly-perfect wonky silhouettes, cut and polished by hand over a hundred years ago and brand new diamonds cut into the perfect shape just for you. Your ring, your choice.

Warmer colours are welcomed by couples who understand the true beauty of an vintage cut stone when the sun is setting and it hits those facets. The warm glow of a diamond with a yellow hint it something truly special and of course antique diamonds face up much whiter than their modern brilliant counterparts.
The most perfect setting for an elongated antique cut cushion is a fine yellow gold bezel that gently frames the diamond and adds to the glow of the stone reflecting warmth inside the diamond.
2. Colourful Gemstone Engagement Rings
We are loving the kaleidoscope of colours our clients are asking for, from vivid ocean-blues of sapphires to glowing green emeralds and pinkish-red rubies.
More and more clients are opting to go for colour gemstone engagement rings and we can understand why! Beautiful bright colours bring joy to your love story and are an absolute statement, not to mention you get a much larger rock for your money.
We love setting Colombian emeralds as a centre stone of your ring, the emerald green colour is really like no other. Whilst emeralds are indeed a softer stone, when carefully crafted and worn with care, your engagement ring will last a lifetime and more.

Sapphires are perfect for daily wear and come in a rainbow of colours and are perfect for daily wear, from candy pink to sultry purple to intense yellow and royal blue - the choice is yours.

If you are after a traditional solitaire ring but still want to include a gem accent as a birth month or something meaningful to your journey as a couple, we can set hidden gems or embellish your ring with gemstones incorporated into your bespoke design.

3. Geometric Diamond Shapes
Geometric shapes are picking up momentum. In 2024, the oval cut diamond was one of the more requested shapes. As we approach 2025, we are seeing more and more radiant diamonds and princess cut diamonds being requested and predict these will trend in 2025.
Asscher cut, square emerald cut and lozenge cut diamonds will be having their moment too with their crisp mirror like faceting and beautiful symmetry.
