If you’re wondering what engagement rings are trending in 2025, you're not alone. From viral TikToks to ring selfies lighting up your feed, it’s clear that engagement ring styles continue to evolve, but that doesn’t mean your ring should look like everyone else’s.
At Ethan Lord, we believe your ring should reflect your story. So while we’ll absolutely show you what’s trending (with champagne in hand), we’ll also help you create something timeless, personal, and built to last.
Let’s dive into the most popular engagement ring styles this year, and how to find the one that’s right for you.
Top Engagement Ring Trends Right Now
1. Oval-Cut Diamonds
Oval engagement rings are still reigning supreme in 2025. This shape elongates the finger, maximizes brilliance, and offers a modern twist on the classic round cut. Whether set in a solitaire or flanked with side stones, oval diamonds are a favorite for a reason.
2. Emerald-Cut Diamonds
Understated, elegant, and endlessly sophisticated, emerald-cut diamonds are having a major moment in 2025. Known for their clean lines and hall-of-mirrors effect, this shape gives off quiet luxury vibes with every glance. Perfect for the bride who favors timeless style over trend-driven sparkle, emerald cuts offer a refined alternative to more common shapes like round or oval.
3. Two-Tone Settings
Mixing metals is making a comeback. Think white gold paired with yellow or rose gold accents, creating depth and contrast while still keeping things elegant.
4. Round Diamonds
The most popular engagement ring style year after year? The classic round diamond. And in 2025, it’s still going strong. Beloved for its unmatched brilliance and versatility, the round cut is perfect for any setting: solitaire, pavé, or custom-designed. If you’re looking for a diamond that will never go out of style, this one’s forever for a reason.
5. Custom Touches
More couples are choosing custom engagement rings to reflect their individual styles, whether that’s a unique setting, heirloom stone, or hand-picked diamond. And we love that for you.
