When it comes to wedding jewelry, 2024 is the year of bold choices, nostalgic nods, and unparalleled individuality. Whether you’re a bride-to-be, a groom ready to pop the question, or simply a lover of all things sparkling, the engagement and wedding ring trends this year are sure to captivate.
We reached out to our friends at Blue Nile to hear more about what the top trends are for engagement rings and wedding rings in 2024. Let’s dive into the top styles that are setting hearts ablaze in 2024.
1. Unique Shapes and Cuts
While round and princess cuts will always be classics, 2024 is embracing unique and unconventional shapes. Oval, pear, and marquise cuts are particularly trendy, offering a fresh take on traditional styles. These shapes elongate the finger and provide a modern twist, appealing to brides who want to stand out. Additionally, asymmetrical and custom cuts are gaining traction, allowing for one-of-a-kind designs that reflect personal style and creativity.
Elizabeth Hadden with Blue Nile shares, “For 2024, the trendiest diamond shapes are round brilliants and elongated cuts such as oval, pear and emerald. Round diamonds are still the most popular of all, but 2024 will see additional shapes continuing to shine. After round brilliant diamonds, elongated cuts are popular picks for this year’s most in-demand diamond shapes.“
2. Colored Gemstones
Diamonds are forever, but 2024 is all about color. Colored gemstones are making a vibrant comeback, with sapphires, emeralds, and even rubies stealing the spotlight. These stones not only add a unique flair to traditional settings but also carry deep personal and cultural meanings. Brides are loving the bespoke feel of rings that feature their birthstone or a gem that holds special significance. Paired with intricate settings, these colorful gems are turning heads and making statements.
