2023 marks the year bridal jewelry industry is set to fall head over heels for the new and interesting expressions of “forever after.” Trend trackers are predicting that brides will continue to stray from cookie-cutter style engagement rings and standard white diamonds, favoring designs with more character and personality. From going dramatically bold with Asscher cut to two stone arrangements to opting for vintage inspired statement, there will be a style for everyone this year.
Marquise cut diamonds are a choice pick for a modern classic bride or groom. Their unique shape — long, narrow, and pointed — makes for one of the largest crown surface options, creating the illusion of a sizable diamond. Its elongated silhouette would look especially tasteful for wearers looking to make their fingers appear longer and slimmer.
Vintage-loving brides and grooms, this is your time to shine! These “modern vintage” rings combine timeless elements with modern settings and bring vintage styles into the 21st century.
For lovers, who are unbashully true to themselves, anything goes in the category that defies convention. From unique stones to special design features, and metal combinations, nothing about the rings in this group feels like same old.
Filled with romance and meaning, it’s no wonder this poetic engagement ring setting has been trending amongst the stars. In the last year alone, Toi et Moi engagement rings have been worn by Megan Fox, Arianna Grande and Kylie Jenner. Translated to “You and Me” from French, Toi et Moi rings nestle two showstopping stones together in one band.
If you consider your style to be classic or more minimalist, you’ll probably love a bezel-set engagement ring. A bezel setting is when the diamond is surrounded by a precious metal ring to hold it in place, creating a completely smooth edge. This setting can be added to a variety of diamond cuts but is most popularly paired with a round or oval diamond.
Not everyone wants a diamond as their center stone and an emerald, thanks to its vibrant green shade, is often a favorite with brides, who want color in their engagement ring. Because they’re softer, emeralds need more love and care than sapphires or diamonds. Bezel setting not protects the gemstone; is also adds a very modern and graphic element.
Also known as the square emerald cut, the Asscher cut is geometric and refined. Square in shape with cut corners, Asscher-cut diamonds strike a vintage-inspired tone, epitomizing elegance whether set into rose, white or yellow gold or platinum. First created in Amsterdam in 1902 by diamond cutter Joseph Asscher, it quickly became a go-to for engagement rings. With layered facets on a deep pavilion and a high crown to create brilliance, the light reflects off the 58 facets to create a kaleidoscopic ‘hall of mirrors’ effect arguably making the Asscher cut the most brilliant of choices.
