Choosing an engagement ring is one of the most meaningful purchases you'll ever make, whether planning a surprise proposal or picking out a ring with your partner. Knowing what's trending can help you find a design that feels just right—something both timeless and modern.
So, what popular engagement ring styles are making waves in 2025? Join us as we explore the top trends, from classic cuts to creative innovations.
Top 3 Trending Ring Styles to Watch for
As engagement ring preferences evolve, certain designs capture couples' imaginations worldwide. This year's engagement ring trends blend timeless romance with contemporary sophistication. These popular styles aren't just fleeting fads, either; they represent a deeper shift in how couples view their commitment pieces.
Three Stone Rings
As one of the most sought-after ring styles in 2025, three stone engagement rings continue to captivate couples with their elegance and profound symbolism.
Three-stone rings are often seen as representations of a couple's journey, with the three stones symbolising their past, present, and future together. For some, the stones also embody friendship, love, and fidelity, adding layers of meaning to this design.
The beauty of a three-stone engagement ring lies in its classic yet versatile design. The central stone is the star of the show, beautifully framed by two side stones that enhance its beauty. You can make your ring truly unique by customising the stones—choosing different shapes and sizes or even pairing a dazzling diamond centre stone with vibrant sapphire or emerald accents.

Bezel Set Rings
Bezel set rings are in demand among those looking for something durable and practical. In this design, a sleek metal rim surrounds the gemstone, keeping it secure while giving it a clean, modern look. It's a great option for everyday wear, offering elegance without sacrificing functionality.
Walker & Hall offers bezel set rings in three stunning collections:
· Natalia Collection: The rings in this collection are effortlessly chic, perfect for those who love a minimalist style. The bezel settings let the gemstone take centre stage, and they're versatile enough to suit any occasion.
· Elle Collection: For something with a bit more personality, the Elle collection combines the practicality of a bezel setting with creative, eye-catching designs.
· Windsor Collection: The Windsor collection adds a luxurious twist to the bezel style. Featuring intricate details and quality craftsmanship, these rings perfectly balance classic elegance and contemporary design.
Unique Diamond Shapes
Unique diamond shapes are set to take the spotlight this year as couples seek designs that reflect their individuality and stand out from traditional designs, like round cuts. The marquise-shaped diamond is one of the most talked-about styles making a comeback. This elegant shape, characterised by its elongated oval silhouette and pointed ends, creates an illusion of longer, slender fingers. Selena Gomez brought this vintage-inspired style back into vogue with her stunning engagement ring.
Other popular shapes include pear and cushion cuts, combining elegance and individuality. With their distinctive teardrop silhouette, pear-shaped diamonds combine a round cut's sparkle with the marquise's elongating effect. This shape is often seen as a symbol of tears of joy or falling stars, adding a romantic, almost poetic touch. Cushion cuts, on the other hand, are loved for their soft, rounded edges and square or rectangular shape. They're a favourite amongst those who favour a classic appeal with a fresh twist.
18ct Yellow Gold 1.52ct Princess Cut Diamond Ring: Embodying 2025's Top Trends
Walker & Hall's 18ct Yellow Gold 1.52ct Princess Cut Diamond Ring is a perfect example of how a single design can incorporate elements from all three trending styles of 2025.
This ring symbolises the classic elegance and deep meaning often associated with three-stone designs. Two shimmering trilliant-cut diamonds elegantly accent the central princess-cut diamond. The setting is designed to be durable and secure, much like a bezel-style ring. Its solid craftsmanship keeps the diamond safe while highlighting its beauty, making it a practical choice for everyday wear that doesn't compromise sophistication.
The standout feature of this ring is its princess-cut diamond—a square shape with sharp, clean edges that offer a modern twist on traditional round or oval cuts. The princess cut is unique and sophisticated, combining geometric precision with radiant brilliance.
