Engagement Ring Trends For 2020
As we step into the new year, we’re taking a look at the engagement ring trends for 2020. Loved for their unique style and beautiful details, these engagement rings are the perfect way to propose your eternal love.
We only ever select the most beautiful diamonds with exceptional cut, colour and clarity. For us, it’s all about the sparkle and that’s why we look for magnificent fire and brilliance that will take your breath away.
Our head of diamonds and jewellery, Lorna Haddon, has predicted this year’s biggest trends. Expect to see classic halo rings and elegant twists.
Solitaire Engagement Rings
Beautiful, classic and timeless, solitaire engagement rings are loved for their sleek and elegant style. We love how solitaire diamond rings put the diamond in centre stage and really show it off to its full, dazzling potential. All of our solitaire diamonds are matched with beautiful precious metals, from gold to platinum and are polished for a glistening finish.
Lorna tells us why she has always been in love with diamond solitaire rings.
“This versatile ring style has been favoured by everyone from Keira Knightley to Michelle Obama, and the trend is definitely going to continue well into 2020, and beyond!
“For a classic, vintage solitaire ring style with a splash of colour, our exclusive Beyond Brilliance collection is the perfect choice. The entire range, including this 18ct White Gold and Rose Gold Diamond Solitaire Ring, features stunning diamonds that create twice the flashes of light of a standard 57 facet round brilliant diamond, generating an intense and eye-catching sparkle due to its unique 100 facets.”
Halo Engagement Rings
Our love for halo engagement rings is a love that will never fade. The sparkle created from a diamond halo is simply breathtaking. The central diamond is enhanced by even more glittering diamonds for ultimate luxury. Each diamond is expertly matched to ensure they complement each other perfectly.
If your loved one loves sparkle and has a glamorous sense of style, then Lorna suggests a halo engagement ring is the perfect way to sweep them off their feet.
“Halo rings are going absolutely nowhere. Our customers love the sparkle of a diamond surrounded by even more diamonds, and so do we!
“Created to attract attention, a halo design sees a single central diamond encased by smaller diamonds, giving an extra serve of glamour and creating a style that is reminiscent of vintage engagement rings.”
This gorgeous Maple Leaf Diamonds Wind’s Embrace Diamond Solitaire Ring showcases a beautiful halo design with a modern twist. A breathtaking Canadian diamond sparkles dramatically in the centre and is surrounded by a swirling halo of smaller diamonds, known as the ‘wind’s embrace’.
More diamonds fall elegantly down the ring’s shoulders and adorn the polished 18ct white gold band, made from an exclusive mix of gold from the Royal Canadian Mint and palladium for a bright white finish. This Maple Leaf Diamonds ring is a truly special way to declare your eternal love.
Two-In-One
“A trend we expect to see growing in the new year is a two-in-one style engagement ring, combining a classic halo style with a different diamond cut, such as pear or emerald.
“For brides-to-be looking for all the sparkle of a halo ring, but the intricacy of a shaped diamond, this trend could be the perfect solution.
“For ultimate glamour, wow her with our dazzling Platinum Diamond Pear-Shaped Halo Ring or Platinum Diamond Emerald Cut Halo Ring for a new take on a classic halo.”
Masters of fancy cut diamonds, Royal Asscher have designed the most breathtaking diamonds rings that perfectly combine two styles in one. Discover their exclusive Royal Asscher cushion cut diamonds, framed by a glistening diamond halo for two key engagement ring trends that come together in one stunning diamond ring.
If you want a fancy cut diamond, but something a little different than the usual halo, then this Royal Asscher Oval Cut Platinum Diamond Halo Ring is the perfect choice.
The beautiful oval cut diamond has a hidden halo that sparkles around the crown for an extra touch of sparkle. We love the unique style of this stunning Royal Asscher ring.
Twist Detailing
“A ‘twist’ on the classics… another trend we’re expecting to get bigger and better in the new year is people maximising the band itself, with dazzling details twisting a full 360 degrees around the ring.”
Our Entwine collection takes on this trend beautifully. Each band swirls with elegance and is adorned with diamonds that glisten and swirl around the twisted band for sparkle from every angle. This Entwine Platinum Diamond Ring is one of Lorna’s favourites from the collection.
