Engagement Ring Trends 2025

If you’re planning to propose in 2025, you’ll be delighted to know that engagement ring trends in the UK are embracing both timeless elegance and a touch of nostalgia. From classic yellow gold to intricate vintage-inspired designs, couples are seeking rings that tell a story as unique as their love. At Regent Jewellers in Weston super Mare, we’ve noticed a clear shift toward pieces with character, craftsmanship, and enduring style.

The Resurgence of Yellow Gold

For the past decade, white gold and platinum have dominated the engagement ring scene. But 2025 is seeing a resurgence of yellow gold. Couples are rediscovering its warmth, richness, and timeless appeal. Yellow gold pairs beautifully with both modern solitaire diamonds and antique-inspired settings, making it a versatile choice for brides to be who want something classic yet on-trend.

Why choose yellow gold?

• Flattering on all skin tones

• Durable and long-lasting

• A true vintage & traditional feel that never goes out of style

Vintage Inspired Rings with Modern Touches

Another major trend this year is the vintage revival. From Edwardian filigree to Art Deco geometry, vintage-style engagement rings are proving incredibly popular with couples. Brides are drawn to rings that feel personal, unique, and steeped in history.

Expect to see:

• Intricate detailing and engraved bands

• Halo settings inspired by antique designs

• Use of coloured gemstones (sapphires, emeralds, rubies) alongside diamonds

• Heirloom-style rings with a romantic, timeless aesthetic

At Regent Jewellers, many clients are choosing rings that combine authentic vintage styling with modern craftsmanship, ensuring their piece is both beautiful and durable.

Sustainable Choices with a Vintage Twist

Sustainability is playing a big role in 2025 jewellery trends. More couples are seeking ethically sourced diamonds or opting for lab-grown alternatives. Vintage inspired designs fit perfectly into this eco-conscious movement, as they celebrate reimagining and preserving traditional jewellery styles. Choosing a ring that stands the test of time also means choosing one that aligns with today’s values.

The Celebrity-Inspired Chunky Ring Trend

One of the most eye-catching trends of 2025 is the resurgence of chunky, statement engagement rings. Inspired by celebrities who are sporting oversized diamonds and bold settings, these rings are all about presence and personality.

Couples are leaning into this Hollywood inspired style by opting for:

• Thick, sculptural gold bands

• Oversized central diamonds or gemstones

• Bold cluster settings that create maximum sparkle

• Unique shapes and asymmetric designs

These chunky rings are perfect for those who want their engagement ring to be a true showpiece, while still retaining timeless elegance.
