Modern Bridal Engagement Rings

Modern engagement rings reflect the evolving tastes and values of contemporary society. While the classic solitaire diamond ring remains a popular choice, there is a notable shift towards unique, personalised designs that emphasise individuality and sustainability. Many modern couples are drawn to coloured gemstones, unconventional settings, and alternative materials that break away from the traditional. Ethical sourcing and sustainability have also become paramount, with an increasing demand for conflict-free diamonds, lab grown stones, and recycled metals.

What is the new engagement ring trend?

One of the latest trends in modern engagement rings is the preference for unique and custom designs that reflect individuality and personal style. These rings often feature minimalistic and sleek designs that place the centre stone in the spotlight, allowing its beauty to shine. Additionally, there’s a growing interest in ethical and sustainable options, such as lab grown diamonds and Moissanite jewels, making them a fantastic choice for conscious consumers. A huge selection of 100% Premium Moi Moi Lab Grown Diamonds and SUPERNOVA Moissanite are available now at our Moi Moi flagship stores in Sydney and Melbourne.

Some other notable trends that have been on the rise include:

  • Lab grown diamonds: Ethical and environmentally conscious choices like lab-grown diamonds have been gaining popularity. They offer the same physical appearance and properties as mined diamonds but are more sustainable and often more affordable.
  • Vintage and Art Deco styles: There has been a resurgence of interest in vintage and Art Deco-inspired designs, characterised by intricate details, geometric shapes, and bold contrasts.
  • Coloured gemstones: While white diamonds remain popular, coloured gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and even non-traditional stones like coloured lab grown diamonds or coloured moissanite have been increasingly used as centre stones or accent stones.
  • Unique settings: Instead of the conventional prong or halo settings, designers are experimenting with bezel settings, east-west settings (where the gemstone is set horizontally), and hidden halo designs.

What is the most popular engagement ring now?

Minimalist engagement rings that showcase the centre stone, with elegant and sleek designs, are highly sought after. These rings prioritise quality centre jewels over excessive ornamentation and are favoured for their timeless appeal. Moreover, lab grown diamonds and Moissanite jewels, known for their eco-friendliness and affordability, are gaining prominence among couples seeking contemporary yet affordable options. Moi Moi Lab Grown Diamonds and SUPERNOVA Moissanite, exclusively available at Moi Moi Fine Jewellery, are the most premium quality Lab Grown jewels available, so you can be confident you’re getting the absolute best when you shop with us.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the latest trends in modern bridal engagement rings?

Modern bridal engagement rings favour finer designs with thinner bands and a clear focus on the centre stone. They prioritise quality, eye-catching centre stones over excessive ornamentation and are loved for their timeless appeal. They may also feature unique bands, such as the swirling band of our Liza ring or the crossover infinity band of our Freya ring.

Are lab grown diamonds popular for modern bridal engagement rings?

Lab grown diamonds are one of the biggest modern bridal trends, offering the same brilliance and beauty as mined diamonds whilst being ethically and sustainably sourced, as well as more affordable.

Are solitaire engagement rings still in style?

The classic solitaire is one of the most iconic and highly sought-after engagement ring styles, and they remain timeless today. For a more contemporary twist, many modern solitaires include subtle extra details such as hidden halos, accented bridges or unique prong settings.

What makes an engagement ring 'modern' vs 'traditional'?

A traditional engagement ring often features a classic solitaire design with a round centre stone and minimal detailing on a solid gold band. Our Lanefield and Annerley Engagement Rings are perfect examples of a traditional engagement ring, both featuring a simple solitaire centre stone on slim, plain band. A modern engagement ring, on the other hand, will often feature unique settings and cuts, such as marquise, and contemporary details like hidden halos, mixed and alternative metals (such as platinum) and sustainably sourced gemstones.

How do I choose between classic and modern engagement ring styles?

Whether you choose a classic engagement ring or a modern engagement ring depends entirely on your (or your partner’s) personal preference. If you favour timeless elegance, a simple solitaire or traditional round cut on a thin, plain band may be the perfect choice. If you’re drawn to unique details such as accented bands, mixed metals or geometric settings, a modern engagement ring may be a better choice.
