Engagement Ring Trends for 2022

Shopping for an engagement ring can be difficult. There are so many styles out there. The last thing that you want to do is spend hundreds or thousands of pounds on a ring that your partner might not like.

There are a few ways to help you buy a ring for your partner. However, there are a couple of things that you can do to make sure that you purchase the right engagement ring. One of those is by checking their jewellery box to see what the common material or style is in there. If they don't have a jewellery box, then you are going to need a little inspiration elsewhere.

Toi Et Moi

The engagement ring trend of 2022, and it is easy to understand why. It is a ring style that has been spotted on the fingers of Ariana Grande, Megan Fox and Emily Ratajkowsi.

Double or triple gemstones are going to be a common trend this year. That is why the Toi Et Moi ring will be so popular in 2022. Furthermore, you can expect different types of gemstones on these stunning rings as well.

Toi Et Moi might be new to you, but it is quite the opposite. It is believed that this stunning ring style has been around for centuries. These unique engagement rings not only symbolise togetherness but also show that they can appreciate one another's beauty.

The three gemstone styles have also been around for several years. It is believed that this signifies the past, present and future with your spouse. Whatever variation you go with this stunning engagement ring style. It will certainly be one of the most popular trends that we will see this year.

Gender-neutral engagement rings

Gender-neutral rings have only just become a thing in recent years and are one that you can expect a lot. These are simple designs suitable for those who do not identify as a specific gender. There is no doubt that these will also be a big hit this year.

This engagement ring style is one you can expect to see the band be much thicker. Similar to the style of ring that you would often see a man's hand in recent years. Furthermore, there have been a few celebrities that have taken to this style. Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner are just a select few for this. If your partner identifies as gender-neutral, this will be a ring that they would love.

Colourful gemstones

Gemstones have always signified value to a person's jewellery. However, many gemstones will also have a lot of meanings to them. These rings are going to be a lot more expensive compared to others, but they are worth every penny for their beauty.

We usually see Diamonds on an engagement ring. Nonetheless, you can expect to see a lot of different gemstones this year, such as sapphires, emerald rings and many more. Diamonds are a light blue or white colour usually, which may look a bit bland to some people. That is why many people are choosing colours such as green, red and dark blue to be on their fingers.

Vintage engagement rings

This engagement style is for those that don't want to support modern-day mines and appreciate the historical style of rings. Antique engagement rings have been growing in demand for the last five years. That is why we can expect to see an ongoing interest throughout the year. Some of the engagement rings you see on a person's finger could have been inherited from their grandmother further down the line.

Some people might want to modernise the ring that they have been given. Maybe changing the gemstone on the ring or the material on the wedding band. Nonetheless, the majority of the people that have inherited or purchased a vintage engagement ring will most likely wish to keep it as it is.

A particular style of vintage engagement ring that many people are wearing is the cushion cut rings. It is a traditional old mine cut and is one found on many vintage engagement rings. Here, a diamond or other gemstone would be shaped like a square with cut corners. Similar to the look of a cushion, hence the name.

Contoured rings

Contoured rings is another ring trend that seems to be dominating in 2022. It is a great ring design that makes the gemstone stand out. If you are not sure what this unique style is. It is where the face of the ring band is curved at the bottom side of the ring and then remains straight for the rest of it. Expect to see this ring a lot throughout 2022 because it is a style that a lot of people are falling in love with.

Oval shaped gemstones

Oval Shaped gemstones have been a trend for the last few years. Nonetheless, they are some of the best rings out there which show true value. Furthermore, the most common gemstone for this trend tends to be the oval diamond.

There are a few different styles with this trend. The most common is with the diamond being slightly elevated, or it will have smaller diamonds surrounding the main centrepiece. It is a trend that we all love, and you should too.

Halo rings

We recently touched on these in the previous paragraph; however, they deserve their section. These rings are very delicate, so make sure the person wearing them is not in a physical job. A halo ring will have several smaller stones in the centre stone. These are unique and a trend that shows off the glitz and glamour.

To conclude

There are many engagement ring trends out there that are loved by many. We believe that this is currently the era for vintage rings, and we are seeing a lot of them. The reason why these are becoming so popular is simply because of the history and design that has been put into that piece. However, if you wish to go for a more modern style, we suggest contoured rings.
