Gemstones: Top 5 Trending Colours Beyond the Traditional Diamond

While our research reveals that diamond rings have seen a modest 37% increase in interest, coloured gemstones are taking centre stage in the engagement ring market for 2025. Here's a look at the top five trending gemstones:

1. Blue Topaz (+200% increase)

2. Yellow Diamond (+69% increase)

3. Peach Topaz (+60% increase)

4. Emerald (+42% increase)

5. Alexandrite (+40% increase)

Commenting on the top five trending gemstones, Neil Dutta, our Managing Director, said:

"Blue topaz has emerged as the standout trend, with an impressive 200% increase in interest over the last year. It offers couples a sophisticated yet affordable alternative to classic diamond rings, allowing for a bold and personal statement.

"Yellow diamonds have seen a significant surge in popularity, with search data revealing a remarkable 69% increase in interest. This trend gained momentum when Jennifer Lopez debuted her stunning cushion-cut yellow diamond as her third engagement ring back in September 2023. Her choice reignited public fascination with these sunny-hued gems, proving that celebrity influence continues to shape engagement ring trends, even a year and a half later.

"Peach topaz, emeralds, and alexandrite round out our top five showcasing how couples are breaking away from traditional choices. These aren't just gemstones - they're conversation starters, each telling a unique story and reflecting the bride’s personality.

"As we move further into 2025, I expect this trend towards distinctive, colourful gemstones to continue. While blue topaz is currently leading the pack, we might see any of these vibrant options becoming the next big celebrity favourite!"

Shape Shifters: Top 5 Diamond Cuts on the Rise

Our research has revealed that engagement ring trends are showcasing a significant shift towards vintage-inspired and distinctive diamond shapes. Here's a breakdown of the most popular diamond cuts:

1. Asscher cut: +400% increase

2. Marquise cut: +146% increase

3. Radiant cut: +56% increase

4. Cushion cut: +47% increase

5. Oval cut: +47% increase

Commenting on the top five trending diamond cuts, Neil Dutta said:

"We're witnessing a real shake-up in diamond cuts this year, with couples gravitating towards vintage-inspired shapes. The Asscher cut has emerged as the top trending diamond cut of 2025, with a staggering 400% increase in popularity. Accounting for just 2% of all diamonds worldwide, it's the ultimate choice for couples wanting something truly unique.

"Marquise cuts are following suit in second place, with interest up by 146% in the last year. Selena Gomez's engagement ring from Benny Blanco is a perfect example - her 4-carat marquise diamond is not just a ring, but a personal statement. Blanco cleverly referenced her 2015 song 'Good for You' with this cut, which has lyrics specifically mentioning 'marquise diamonds'.

"Radiant and cushion cuts are also gaining traction, offering a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern brilliance. These cuts are ideal for those seeking a balance between traditional elegance and contemporary style.

"And let's not forget the ever-elegant oval cut, up 47% and rounding out our top five. This shape continues to captivate, offering a finger-lengthening effect that many find irresistible - such as the beautiful oval diamond Michael Polansky gifted to Lady Gaga last year. Its enduring popularity proves that some classics never go out of style."

Beyond the Sparkle: Top 5 Most Popular Ring Settings

You might think ring settings wouldn't be subject to trends, but our research has uncovered that many couples are choosing this element to express their individuality in 2025.

"The surge in popularity we're seeing for unique settings is largely driven by celebrity engagements and social media influence.
"The half-bezel setting has exploded onto the scene with an incredible 6,567% increase. This trend gained momentum after Zendaya's engagement to Tom Holland in early 2025, where she sported a 5-carat cushion-cut diamond in an east-west half-bezel setting.
"Cathedral settings are making a dramatic comeback, up 4,900%. This trend was kickstarted by Lady Gaga's engagement in late 2024, where she was seen with a 15-carat oval diamond in a cathedral setting.
"Basket settings are holding strong with a 3,233% increase, while tension settings - those incredibly modern designs where the stone appears to float - are up 900%. Channel settings round out our top five with a solid 200% increase.
"These trends reflect a growing shift in focus - it's no longer just about the stone anymore. How the stone is presented has become equally important.”

"Two-tone rings, often combining yellow gold with white gold or platinum, are becoming increasingly popular. They offer versatility and symbolise the blending of two lives. Mixed metal designs allow for greater personalisation and creativity, with combinations like yellow, rose, and white gold becoming more common.
"Palladium is third, with a remarkable 6,900% increase in interest in the last year. Palladium is becoming a modern alternative for couples seeking something unique. It's incredibly lightweight, hypoallergenic, and maintains a beautiful white colour without needing replating.
"Yellow gold remains a classic, proving that some trends truly are timeless. Up 53% this year, it continues to symbolise tradition and elegance in engagement rings. Its resurgence is part of a broader trend towards warmer metal tones and vintage-inspired designs.”

"Even plain bands are seeing a significant revival, up 500%. Sometimes, simplicity speaks volumes. This trend aligns with the broader movement towards minimalism we're seeing in engagement ring designs.
"Eternity bands, while showing a more modest increase of 79%, remain a popular choice. Their continuous line of diamonds or gemstones symbolises never-ending love, appealing to couples looking for both symbolism and sparkle.”

The Future of Engagement Rings: Personalisation Meets Passion

As we've explored the top trends in gemstones, cuts, settings, metals, and bands for 2025, one thing becomes crystal clear: engagement rings are no longer just pieces of jewellery. They're deeply personal statements of love, individuality, and commitment.

Neil Dutta reflects on these transformative trends:
"What we're witnessing is a profound shift in how couples approach engagement rings. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all designs. Today's couples are crafting rings that tell their unique love stories - from yellow diamond cuts that reference a favourite song to engraved bands branding special moments.

"These trends aren't just about aesthetics; they're about connection. Each choice - whether it's a rare Asscher cut or a meticulously braided band - represents a couple's journey, personality, and shared dreams."

As we look ahead, one thing is certain: the engagement ring is evolving from a traditional symbol to a canvas of personal expression. In 2025 and beyond, it's not just about the ring you choose, but the story you're choosing to tell.
