2022 has brought a range of engagement ring trends to our attention, and there are 7 in particular that stand out. This article will go through each and give you the essential details.
1. A Slim Band with Shaped Diamonds
If you’re wearing a fine band with carefully cut diamonds seated within it, you’re on-trend for 2022. The most important reason to have a stone like a diamond in your engagement ring is to show it off, which is why the band is often minimized in size as much as possible. The diamond is also the most expensive part of the ring, so it makes sense.
2. Art Deco Engagement Rings
An increasingly popular trend for 2022 is the Art Deco trend. It’s a contemporary engagement ring style, combining special motifs like bold lines, unusual diamond cuts, and the creative use of geometry to produce eye-catching rings. Art Deco engagement rings dispense with the traditional rules of ring design, making them an intriguing choice.
3. Tilted Stones
Most engagement rings have their stones set conventionally, without pointing in specific directions. But a trend is growing in popularity where the diamond will be twisted to a certain angle. This makes for an eye-catching engagement ring because of the novelty factor. It simply looks different from what most people expect.
4. Colored Stones
The standard clear diamond is a classic, and for many, it’s still their instant preference when browsing for an engagement ring online. But now, many color variations enable people to express themselves in a more personal way. Pinks, blues, and yellows are all popular colors. Some colored engagement rings also feature combinations where the main stone and adjacent stones are in contrasting colors.
5. Oval-shaped Diamonds
Beyond the angle and color of the diamond, another customization trend has emerged involving the shape of the diamond. Buyers can now opt for oval diamonds in their engagement rings. These rapidly became popular in the middle of 2021, and the trend has continued to grow stronger into 2022. In particular, customers like to have an oval diamond set inside a 4-talon claw with a narrow band.
6. A Diamond on a Thick Band
Unlike most of 2022’s trends, this one involves a chunky band for the ring. This is also known as a sculptural ring and enables buyers who only want a single diamond to find an excellent engagement ring. The actual design of this ring is simple, but the added weight gives it more significance.
7. Toi Et Moi
In French, Toi et Moi means You and Me. It’s also become the name of another trend and is an excellent engagement ring to demonstrate a couple’s commitment. It features two stones on a single ring. Sometimes these rings go beyond diamonds and include emeralds and sapphires.
