As we step into 2025, engagement ring trends are dazzling us with fresh takes on classics and a focus on ethical luxury. From sleek emerald cuts to bold halos and the return of white gold, this year’s engagement ring styles are all about reflecting your unique love story while embracing sustainability. At Secrets Shhh, we’re here to make finding the perfect ring as exciting as saying “yes.”

Here’s your insider’s guide to the engagement ring trends that are stealing the spotlight in 2025.

1. Lab-Grown Diamonds: The Ethical and Brilliant Choice

Move over mined diamonds–lab-grown diamonds are emerging as one of the biggest engagement ring trends for 2025, as couples seek ethical and sustainable alternatives.

Grown from a carbon seed in a controlled environment, lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds, offering the same exceptional fire, brilliance, and scintillation.

Lab-grown diamonds allow you to invest in a larger, internally flawless stone for a fraction of the price of a mined diamond, making them the perfect choice for couples who want luxury without compromise.

Even celebs are getting on board, with the likes Bindi Irwin and Emma Watson both proudly wearing lab-grown diamond engagement rings.

At Secrets Shhh, we proudly offer Premium Certified Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings, and Signature Simulant Diamond Engagement Rings, crafted to the highest standards. Whether you’re drawn to traditional designs or something more modern, these rings are a stunning expression of your love.

For an enduring classic, the Premium Certified Laboratory Created 2.00 carat oval solitaire engagement ring in 14 carat yellow gold offers effortless sophistication and everlasting appeal.

2. Emerald-Cut Rings: Sophisticated and Understated

When it comes to understated glamour, nothing beats an emerald cut. This retro-inspired engagement ring style is making waves in 2025 for its clean lines, chic simplicity, and ability to elongate the finger. The elongated shape of an emerald-cut diamond also creates the illusion of a larger stone, making it a popular choice for those seeking understated elegance.

Emerald cut engagement ring styles are a favourite of the Royals too, with Queen Camilla opting for a 5 carat Emerald-Cut ring with diamond baguettes either side that once belonged to King Charles’ grandmother, the Queen Mother.

Secrets Shhh offers exquisite emerald-cut designs that allow the brilliance of lab-grown diamonds to shine through. The 1.00 carat emerald-cut solitaire engagement ring in 14 carat white gold is a perfect example. Its sleek, minimalist setting draws attention to the stunning centre stone, combining simplicity with undeniable impact.

3. Halo Engagement Rings: Maximum Brilliance and Glamour

Drama queens, rejoice! The halo is back and bolder than ever. With a circle of shimmering stones framing the centre diamond, halo engagement rings are perfect for brides who love making a statement. And the trendiest halos for 2025 mix metals—think yellow and white gold—to create a look that’s modern while embracing a vintage aesthetic.

The 1.37 carat TW pear and round brilliant halo engagement ring in 14 carat yellow and white gold showcases this trend beautifully. The combination of yellow and white gold adds a contemporary twist to a classic design - it’s glamorous, vintage-inspired, and absolutely unforgettable.

4. White Gold: The Comeback Queen

While rose gold has dominated engagement ring trends in recent years, white gold is making a strong comeback for 2025. Its sleek, neutral tone offers a modern and versatile look that pairs beautifully with the exceptional sparkle of lab-grown diamonds. White gold engagement rings complement a variety of skin tones and effortlessly match other jewellery and outfits, making them an ideal choice for couples seeking a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic.

Secrets Shhh offers a range of Premium Certified Lab-Grown Diamond Engagement Rings in stunning white gold settings. The crisp, clean finish of white gold allows the brilliance of the diamond to take centre stage, ensuring your ring captures attention from every angle. Whether paired with a solitaire, halo, or three-stone design, white gold delivers elegance and sophistication that will never go out of style.

5. Oval-Cut Diamonds: Timeless and Flattering

The oval cut engagement ring continues to grow in popularity for 2025, celebrated for its elegant shape and flattering appearance. With its elongated silhouette, the oval cut creates a larger-looking stone while beautifully accentuating the length of the wearer’s finger.

Combining the brilliance of a round cut with a modern twist, oval diamonds are ideal for couples seeking timeless beauty with a contemporary edge. Celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian and Hayley Bieber both opted for oval-cut diamond engagement rings on gold bands.

Our 2.00 carat oval solitaire engagement ring in 14 carat yellow gold is a perfect choice for showcasing this trend. Its simple yet striking design highlights the beauty of the centre stone, offering timeless elegance that will be cherished for years to come.
