Choosing the perfect engagement ring is far more than just a simple purchase; it’s a declaration of love to your partner, a symbol of unity, and the beginning of a life together. The choice can be as unique as the love story it represents, and in this ever-changing world, engagement ring trends are evolving to reflect the individuality of each couple. This article will delve into the most notable trends shaping the world of engagement rings and weddings, from extreme personalization with “Sur Mesure” rings to the resurgence of vintage jewelry and more.
Colored Rings: Beyond Diamonds with Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds
Colored Rings: Beyond Diamonds with Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds
The world of engagement rings has undergone a stylistic transformation in recent years. While diamonds have historically been the quintessential gemstone for this significant moment, colored stones have burst onto the scene, offering a range of options both beautiful and symbolic.
Rubies, capturing the essence of love and passion with their intense red hue, are the perfect choice for those looking for a ring that speaks directly to the heart. Sapphires, on the other hand, offer a spectrum of colors, though blue remains the most popular. Their rich hue symbolizes wisdom, nobility, and emotional depth, making them a meaningful choice for many couples (remember the iconic Lady Di ring from Garrard & Co).
We can’t overlook emeralds, whose deep green has been associated with renewal, growth, and hope. This unique touch of color can make any ring stand out and become an unforgettable conversation piece.
At Bouclé, for this style of rings, we love the ‘Big Three’ collection, one of the most iconic collections from Suarez, consisting of rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, combined with diamonds. An engagement ring from this collection that made waves around the world was María Pombo’s engagement ring. Specially created by the Suarez design team, the piece features an oval-cut blue sapphire weighing 1.94 carats as its centerpiece. Surrounding the central sapphire, there’s a halo of ten brilliant-cut white diamonds, together amounting to 0.64 carats.

Open Engagement Rings: A Distinctive Style
For those looking for something out of the ordinary, open rings offer a modern and different option. This design features an opening at the top of the ring, allowing for a wide variety of stone settings and styles. Additionally, they are ideal for mixing and matching with other jewelry. Tamara Falcó’s engagement ring, created by jewelry designer Gaia Repossi, is the most representative of this type of ring. It is a minimalist ring, available in white or yellow gold, with an open design that highlights the three tear-cut diamonds that adorn it.

Harmonized Sets: Engagement Rings and Matching Wedding Bands
One of the trends gaining ground in the bridal scene is that of harmonized sets. In this trend, the engagement ring and the wedding band are designed to complement each other, allowing both to be placed on the same finger together.
Whether the rings share the same metal type, design details, or even gemstones, this option eliminates any concern about how the pieces will match, as they are designed to be a perfect pair in every sense.
It’s common to find engagement rings with details that are reflected in the wedding bands, such as specific engravings, identical stone inlays, or similar mounting designs. This not only creates a sense of unity between the pieces but also adds a visual and emotional coherence to the set.
Elegant Minimalism: Less is More
Minimalism is here to stay, and in the world of engagement rings, this translates to simple designs with a single small diamond or what is commonly known as solitaires. These rings are perfect for those who prefer a more discreet yet equally elegant style. Thin mounts and simple-cut stones make these rings timeless and versatile. Small, fine, and delicate jewelry is ideal for brides who are not looking for anything too elaborate.
The brand created by siblings Paola and Humbert Sasplugas, Pdpaola, offers beautiful solitaires that we adore. With delicate and minimalist designs, we advise you to take a look.
This Spanish brand is causing a sensation on social media. Several influencers, such as Laura Escanes, María Fernández Rubíes, and María Pombo, have worn PDPAOLA’s jewelry on their Instagram accounts. Moreover, the brand has crossed national borders, reaching celebrities like singer Beyoncé and models Gigi Hadid, Taylor Hill, and Hailey Bieber.

Vintage Jewelry: Charm of the Past
Vintage-style engagement rings are on the rise, with designs incorporating elements from past eras, such as the 1920s or even the 19th century. These pieces often feature elaborate details like filigree and engravings, giving them a unique and timeless character. In this context, it’s impossible not to mention Urbieta Antique Jewellery. This company specializes in rescuing unique pieces of antique and vintage jewelry, giving them a second life. Based in Madrid, each jewel undergoes a meticulous cleaning and certification process, then is wrapped in a 3D-printed ceramic jewelry box, finished in blue velvet with a hand-embroidered eyelet. All this care ensures that the pieces are not only beautiful but also authentic and full of history.

“Sur Mesure” Engagement Rings: The Zenith of Personalization
The quest for the perfect jewel that uniquely embodies the essence of love has led more and more people to opt for custom-made rings, also known as “Sur Mesure”. This rising trend provides clients with the opportunity to be involved in every stage of the design process, from choosing the gemstone to the most intricate details of the setting and mounting.
The desire for personalization has gone beyond classic and timeless engagement rings like the solitaire. Today, demand leans towards specialized and highly personalized designs, ranging from combining various stones to incorporating truly creative and unique settings.
“Sur Mesure” rings not only offer a way to customize the choice of metal or stone. It’s about going a step further to design a jewel that serves as an authentic reflection of the love story between two people. This extreme level of personalization turns each ring into a singular piece of art.
