“At Kimai, we love leaning into bold curves and have seen our wavy engagement rings rise in popularity, especially when paired with our matching wavy wedding bands to create a modern stacked look, ” says Jessica Warch, co-founder of Kimai. “We know our customers love to re-arrange and play with these stacks to keep their special piece feeling fresh and interesting, falling in love with the design again and again. We see this stacking trend for engagement rings to build in 2025 too.”

7. CHUNKY BANDS

What the experts say: “We have received many more requests for a chunky gold or wider band recently,” says Ashley Zhang. “This style is not only comfortable but also very sturdy for daily wear.”

Adds Grace Lee, founder and designer of her own modern jewellery label: “Many clients are now seeking a thicker gold band, as opposed to stacking multiple bands. Customers want one statement band, worn alone.”

Lisa Levinson, Head of UK at Natural Diamond Council concurs: “There is a continued trend favouring yellow gold, but we are moving away from daintiness toward chunky and heavy designs.”

8. TOI ET MOI

“We’ve seen the revival of toi et moi proposal pieces, that is, rings that feature two stones instead of one,” says Tobias Kormind, MD and Co-founder of 77 Diamonds. “Meaning ‘You & Me’ in French, this design was very popular in the 19th-century. The stone combinations are endless; for example, many customers like seeing their own birthstone set alongside their partner’s, which allows for unique and uncommon ring designs.”
