The perfect proposal starts with the perfect ring. That’s why your dream proposal planners at Amore Austin teamed up with us at Korman Fine Jewelry to bring your engagement vision to life, starting with the ring. Whether you’re dropping hints or sending this straight to your future fiancé (highly recommend), these are the five engagement ring trends taking over this year.

1. Bezel Settings: The Modern Classic

Minimal, modern, and ultra-secure, the bezel setting is a dream for 2025 brides. Instead of traditional prongs, a sleek metal rim encircles the diamond, holding it securely in place while giving it a smooth, contemporary look. The result? The ultimate cool-girl meets timeless ring. This 2.07ct emerald cut diamond perfectly complemented by 0.57ctw of baguette cut accent stones designed by Single Stone proves that a bezel can be just as eye-catching as traditional prongs. 

2. Elongated Diamonds

Long, elegant, and effortlessly timeless, elongated diamonds (like ovals, emeralds, and radiant cuts) continue to dominate. Why? They create the illusion of a longer, more slender finger and maximize carat weight, making  your diamond look bigger. This 3.02ct oval diamond, set in platinum with a pavé half eternity band and hidden halo, is proof that elongated cuts are here to stay.

3. Chunky Bands: Bold Is Better

Bold bands are taking over in 2025, because bigger is definitely better when it comes to making a statement! A thicker setting, like this 4.25mm band, adds a modern edge to any diamond shape while still keeping things timeless. Whether you’re stacking it up or letting it shine solo, a chunky band is the move for a sleek and striking engagement look.

4. Fancy Shape Diamonds: Unexpected Silhouettes

Not all engagement rings have to be round, oval or emerald — fancy shapes are all the rage right now. From hexagons to trapezoids, unexpected silhouettes are redefining the classic engagement ring. This 1ct hexagon diamond by Artemer is the perfect mix of geometric edge and refined elegance, because your ring should be as unique as your love story.

5. Colored Stones: Stand Out In Every Way

Colored diamonds and gemstones are having a major moment, bringing warmth, brilliance, and personality to engagement rings. This 1.50ct fancy yellow radiant cut center stone proves that a pop of color can make just as much of a statement as a traditional white diamond. If you love a ring that’s anything but expected, a colored stone might just be your perfect match.

Once you’ve picked out your dream ring at Korman, Amore Austin will handle the rest, so you can have the perfect proposal to match. Whether you’re planning something intimate or over-the-top, consider this your sign to start the process.

And ladies, if your dream ring is on this list, send this blog straight to your future fiancé. You can thank us later.
