2023 Top 11 Engagement Ring Trends You Want To Know About Part 3: Trends 6-8

7.GENDER NEUTRAL RINGS

Finally more readily available, gender-neutral rings are coming into their own. And simple, gender-fluid designs are going to continue gaining popularity in the coming year as more men choose to wear engagement rings.

8. EAST-WEST ENGAGEMENT RINGS

We all love tradition, but the east-west engagement ring trend puts a literal twist on it–by turning the center stone 90 degrees. With the rise in popularity of fancy-shaped center stones (think marquise, emerald, pear, oval), it’s no surprise the east-west setting is having its moment. Setting the diamond in a sideways orientation, or east-west gives it updated styling that doesn’t look like it’s trying too hard.

9. CHEVRON AND OPEN BANDS

Clean, minimal engagement rings dominate the market. So how do we spice them up without compromising timelessness? Add your own flavor. A chevron band brings interest and dimension. The angular silhouette elongates the finger and the fresh shape of a marquise diamond creates interest. The curved bands showcase the engagement ring rather than blending in like a traditional wedding band.

10. UNIQUE HALO ENGAGEMENT RINGS

Diamond halo engagement rings have been popular for a while and rightfully so. But the latest trend is going away from diamonds uniformly surrounding the center gemstones. Some take on a floral vibe, others are star-like, and some are asymmetrical. Any way you go, they still have the advantage of making your center gemstones seem larger.

11. CUSTOMIZED ENGAGEMENT RING

Creating something unique and just for you is definitely on trend. Customization can range from selecting your gemstone or diamond to modifying a design to doing something totally unique. Whatever the level of customization you desire, find a jeweler with a design capabilities and expertise to guide you through the decisions.
