Engagement Ring Trends In 2022: Our Predictions

We are deeply committed to creating ethical heritage gems that age beautifully while never losing their meaning of everlasting love. Engagement rings are meant to be worn forever, and we want you to be as proud of yours 20 years from now as you were on the first provider of diamond engagement rings.

It may seem contradictory to observe trends while aiming for timelessness, yet engagement ring trends are often a wonderful distillation of a specific point in time; expressive of a shared mood or an exciting new discovery. As a jewelry designer, we are fascinated by the ebb and flow of timeless trends. As an engagement ring buyer, you could find your hunt for The One a little less overwhelming after considering the aesthetics that will characterize 2022. After all, this is a year that will go down in history!

Engagement Rings With Brown Gemstones Are Unique.

When the DeBeers released their famous tagline 'A Diamond is Forever' in 1947, it was a unanimous conclusion; a single white diamond was linked with eternal love and dedication. However, as coloured gemstone engagement rings have grown in popularity in recent years, an increasing number of couples have started to explore a technicolor dreamworld beyond the age-old diamond norm.

In particular, we've witnessed a surge in demand for brown centerpieces in recent months. This earthy color palette is broad and diverse, spanning from champagne to reddish, cognac, taupe, and everything in between, creating a surprisingly wide pool of alternatives. Brown sapphires and diamonds are popular with modern-day suitors because they may be complemented by any metal color and are generally substantially less expensive than historically more 'preferred' colours.

The rich colours of our handmade Sigi engagement ring, set with a 1.8ct conflict-free chocolate diamond and crafted in 18ct recycled rose gold, embody magnificence.

Heirlooms, Old-Cut Diamonds, And Recycled Gold

It's no wonder that a rising number of engagement ring purchasers are driven to this eco-friendly alternative. Reworking old pieces of jewelry is a brilliant way of honoring metals and gemstones that are already above ground, reducing the need for new mining. Conscious purchasing is on the upswing, as seen by considerable increases in internet search phrases such as'recycled,"sustainable,' and 'ethical' last year. According to 2021 research, a jewel's sustainability promises are now equally as essential as its price when customers are selecting what to buy.

Furthermore, ancestral gems serve as little reminders of what is most important. People are starting to turn inwardly almost two years into a worldwide epidemic, two years that have brought a slew of doubts and hardships. In these hard times, the significance of family and the symbolic value of the engagement ring may be more important than ever. This year, we anticipate a greater respect for family heirlooms, repaired jewels, and long-lasting design.

We knew precisely what to do when Andy came to us with a stunning 2.5ct old-cut diamond inherited from his grandmother. Years of dirt and scratches were removed with experienced hands and a thorough polish. The stone was then set in a conventional four-claw setting to highlight its rich, characterful shine. Andy proposed to the love of his life with this family heirloom, sparkling with decades of love and good memories, in the most romantic gesture possible.

Timeless And Romantic Vintage-Inspired Designs

This year, we anticipate to see a growing admiration for classic and romantic designs, fueled by brands like as Bridgerton and The Crown and Spencer. We predict an increase in demand for rubies and sapphires, as well as halo settings and symbolic features. The charm of vintage-style characteristics lies in their timeless appeal; a characteristic shared by all popular engagement ring designs.

Robert's handmade engagement ring exudes regality, encasing a 1.63ct oval-cut Australian sapphire in a halo of Canadian diamonds. The delicate fennel seed inlay in the ring's shoulders, an ancient symbol of protection against evil, is our favorite aspect of this one-of-a-kind design.

Memorable Engagement Rings Are Made From Combined Gemstone Cuts.

When it comes to creating an engagement ring, as we all know, there are no rules. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to have fun and genuinely express yourself. Though the round brilliant-cut solitaire has long been the most iconic of engagement ring designs, we're seeing an increase in demand for gemstones in a range of exotic cuts, frequently in contrasting forms and asymmetrical formations. This trend's possibilities are endless, and it's this adaptability that's fueling its current popularity spike.

Matt saw a chance to create a remarkable statement after being inspired by our Marquise Diadem engagement ring. The end result? A stunning combination of 1.3ct marquise-cut champagne sapphire and 0.2ct round brilliant-cut diamond.

Exquisite Craftsmanship Engraved Bands

With conscientious consumerism on the increase and mass-produced quick fashion losing favor, our buyers are becoming more appreciative of thoughtful details and the potential to preserve traditional workmanship. Hand-engraving, a time-consuming and labor-intensive procedure, imbues jewelry with an unrivaled charm, assuring that no two engagement rings are identical. Our master craftsman Darren employs time-honored skills going back over 2,500 years in design, whether inscribing a private message within a ring or etching elaborate scrolls for everyone to see.
