    5 Modern Engagement Ring Trends Worth Considering

    Published: Apr 21, 2022 · Modified: Aug 19, 2023 by Jennifer · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment

    You may be at a point in your relationship where you're reading to ask your significant other if they're ready to spend the rest of their lives with you. While this is a thrilling time for any couple, the one asking the question has a lot to think about. There are plenty of mistakes when popping the question that could be made, but don't let the ring be one of them. Let's look at some modern engagement ring styles that will make sure your sweetheart will be thrilled with you, the ring, and say yes to forever together. 

    Pearl Engagement Rings 

    Maybe it's everyone's obsession with Bridgerton or Downton Abbey that has rings that were popular centuries ago back in trend, but it's a definite trend. Pearl engagement rings were widespread during Georgian and Edwardian times, and over the last few years, they've had a serious comeback. Not only are they beautiful, but pearls also symbolize purity and loyalty - two main themes of marriage. If your partner is a fan of costume dramas, a hopeless romantic, and loves the delicate and feminine aesthetic, a pearl ring will be right up their alley and worth considering. Pearls do require more care than a strong stone like a diamond, so her lifestyle is something to take into consideration if you're thinking of going pearl. 

    Marquise-Cut Stones

    You may be familiar with the marquise engagement ring because your mother wears one. This diamond cut was incredibly popular during the late seventies through the early nineties and has come roaring back in popularity. It's such an iconic cut that it graces the fingers of many celebrities and socialites. While ring settings and stone cuts may fall out of fashion, the marquise never did, but it's now one of the most sought-after cuts again. Marquise cut diamonds look beautiful in a solitaire setting or flanked with beautiful side stones in traditional diamonds or colored stones like emeralds or rubies. 

    East-West Settings

    Another modern trend worth considering while engagement ring shopping is the East-West setting. This trend has been gaining serious traction over the last year or two and is a beautiful twist on a traditional solitaire setting. The east-west setting features whatever stone you choose and sets it horizontally rather than vertically. This setting looks gorgeous with marquise, opal, and pear-shaped rocks and gives the illusion of a larger carat size while on its side. If your girl has a minimalist and modern aesthetic, this is her setting. 

    Turquoise Engagement Rings 

    While decorating your home in the Boho decor style may not be in trend the way it was five years ago, the Pacific Northwest vibes are alive and well when it comes to engagement ring options. Turquoise is a symbol of confidence, and if you're confident in your love together, turquoise can make an excellent choice. Not only that, turquoise is incredibly affordable, especially compared to a traditional diamond. If you and your partner have wanderlust or a bungalow of a home overflowing with houseplants, keep things light and earthy with a turquoise engagement ring. 

    Birthstone Engagement Rings 

    Maybe your partner is into crystals and astrology, or perhaps you're blending your two families and want to incorporate children's birthstones into the engagement ring. Whatever the reason for going the birthstone route, these as an engagement ring choice are not only modern but incredibly sentimental. Can you think of anything more romantic than blending two families and presenting your partner with a ring with your children's birthstones? You can even go with a traditional diamond setting and use the birthstones as small accent stones on the band of the ring. No matter your direction, birthstone rings are a trend that doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon. 

    Getting engaged is one of the most significant moments of your life, so you want to make sure the ring you choose shows your partner how much they mean to you and how excited you are to spend forever together. While it can be stressful to come up with the perfect ring for your significant other, it doesn't have to be. Use the above ideas for modern rings that will stand the style test of time.
