A Year in Review: 2024’s Top Engagement Ring Styles

In 2024 engagement ring styles were all about self-expression and meaningful design, celebrating the individuality of each love story. These trends embraced both creativity and sentimentality by combining unique details with timeless silhouettes to create pieces that felt deeply personal. As 2025 unfolds, these captivating styles continue to resonate to offer brides a chance to wear something that truly reflects their unique connection. To inspire those searching for the perfect ring, we’ve curated a guide highlighting engagement rings styles from 2024 in our Heller Jewelers showroom that capture this heartfelt, expressive spirit.

Vintage-Inspired Rings

A love for romance and nostalgia made vintage-inspired engagement rings one of the standout trends in 2024 by blending intricate details with timeless charm. Brides were drawn to designs that echoed the elegance of bygone eras with delicate milgrain, scrollwork, and filigree adding layers of sentimentality. This Verragio Renaissance engagement ring beautifully embodies this trend, featuring ornate craftsmanship that is both beautifully alluring and deeply meaningful for those who cherish enduring style.

Bezel Settings

Clean lines and a contemporary aesthetic made bezel settings a prominent engagement ring trend in 2024 by offering a stylish mix of elegance and practicality. This modern setting encases the diamond in a smooth metal rim, providing a secure and polished look that’s perfect for active lifestyles. This yellow gold ring from our own in-house design team showcases this trend beautifully, pairing the bold geometry of an emerald cut with the sleek sophistication of a bezel setting.

Three Stone Rings

Another standout trend in 2024 was the symbolic three stone engagement rings. Representing a couple’s past, present, and future, these rings hold deep emotional significance while offering timeless style. This Harry Kotlar platinum diamond engagement ring is a stunning example with a brilliant center diamond accented by two complementary stones. This design beautifully balances sentiment and sophistication, making it a cherished choice for brides who want meaning woven into their jewelry.

East West Settings

Creative designs that push boundaries made east west oriented engagement rings a popular choice in 2024. By setting stones horizontally instead of the traditional vertical alignment, these rings offered a fresh and contemporary take on classic shapes. This dazzling ring from HJ Collection highlights this trend perfectly, featuring an emerald cut diamond in a striking east west setting. This modern twist adds a unique, confident touch to any love story.

Mixed Metal Bands

A blend of contrasting tones made mixed metal engagement rings a standout trend in 2024, offering a unique and dynamic look. These designs creatively combined metals like white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold, resulting in rings that felt bold and balanced. This Verragio Venetian engagement ring is a stunning example, featuring warm and cool tones that enhance its intricate details. This harmonious combination of metals result in a modern, eye-catching piece with timeless appeal.
