The Top Engagement Rings for 2024

Everyone wants a unique ring that attracts attention for all the right reasons. Buy with trendy new designs constantly flooding the market, selecting that perfect ring can feel overwhelming. 

Never fear. The experts at John Atencio are here with the hottest 2024 engagement ring trends. Here’s an overview of some of the most eye-catching engagement ring designs you’ll be seeing everywhere this year:

Iconic Halo Designs

Instantly recognizable, halo proposal rings will continue to dominate engagement ring styles in the coming year. With a stunning circle of diamonds surrounding the center gem, these iconic stunners offer maximum sparkle, making them fiery keepsakes you’ll treasure forever. 

For added elegance, many modern halo rings showcase glittering pavé bands on part or all of the setting. What’s more, halo designs now come in a variety of unique shapes beyond the standard round brilliant cut.

Rose Gold Designs

Rose gold rings will continue trending in 2024, adding a sweetly feminine touch that flatters nearly all skin tones. Often appearing almost pink or showing a subtle coppery hue, this on-trend precious metal has become a favorite for proposals thanks to its soft romantic appeal and ultra-wearable neutral warmth. Frequently found on halo and vintage rings, rose gold also pairs gorgeously with both white and yellow diamonds for added personality.

Cushion Cuts Steal Hearts

Often called “pillow-cut” for their squared shape and gently rounded corners, cushion-cut engagement rings stand out from the crowd with larger-looking facets that reflect maximum brilliance. Channeling timeless Old Hollywood glam, these proposal stunners will surge in popularity in 2024 thanks to their utterly feminine charm and large, eye-catching profiles. 

For added elegance, many cushion-cut diamonds appear with a delicate halo of smaller stones that seem to make the dazzling center gem glow from within.

Marquise Diamonds

Universally flattering and elegant, the dramatic marquise cut seems to naturally draw the eye thanks to its flattering football-shaped outline. As an intriguing 2024 shift from circular engagement rings, the marquise cut’s elongated silhouette creates the illusion of longer, more slender fingers while showcasing excellent brilliance. Often appearing in pavé halos or multi-stone designs, marquise shapes feel glamorously bold yet still highly wearable.

Dazzling Trilogy Sets

Representing your entwined past, present, and future, three-stone trilogy proposal rings will shine brighter than ever in 2024. With three glittering diamonds graduating in size, this iconic setting style offers serious sparkle appeal alongside symbolic meaning that reflects an unbreakable lifelong bond. For added sophistication, many modern trilogy sets incorporate oval or pear-shaped side stones, along with shared halo detailing that encircles all three glittering gems.

Sustainable Lab-Grown Gems

Eco-conscious lovebirds will delight in 2024’s surge of sustainably created lab-grown proposal diamonds. Identical in optical qualities yet more affordable than their natural counterparts, these innovative man-made gems check all the boxes for socially responsible ring-seekers. 

What’s more, lab-grown diamonds frequently appear in on-trend halo and trilogy settings to deliver seriously eye-catching sparkle.
