The Top Engagement Ring Styles of 2024

As we are bringing in the new year it becomes a time of reflection over the past twelve months. Another year of creating beautiful custom diamond Engagement Rings at Janai Melbourne has brought many designs to life and showcased the personal taste and styles of many couples embarking on the next chapter of their lives.

Large Centre Diamonds

From the beginning of the year we quickly saw the rise of clients requesting higher carat weight diamonds for their centre stones. The affordability of Lab-Grown diamonds (up to 70% less in price compared to natural diamonds) has offered many couples the opportunity to pick a bigger diamond than ever before without compromising on quality. Two and three carat centre diamonds were noticeably a more desirable choice in 2024. We could attribute this to many reasons - perhaps the lower price-tag, the influence of social media, or the celebrity influence of large and beautiful engagement rings. Wherever the inspiration came from, the style of a large centre diamond soared in 2024 and produced many stunning engagement rings as a result.

Elongated Diamonds

Oval, Marquise and Elongated Cushion Cuts captured the hearts of many for 2024. Brides-to-be were drawn to these elegant diamond shapes as they wanted a classic ring style that's a little more unique than the traditional round cut diamond. We understand their enduring popularity  - as the Oval, Marquise and Cushion diamond's elongated shape flatters the wearer and gives the illusion of a larger stone per carat weight. We saw this trend emerge with many celebrities featuring elongated diamond cuts in their engagement rings and inspire our clients' own unique designs. Elongated diamond shapes are incredibly versatile and we crafted many breath-taking designs ranging from solitaires, to trilogy rings, to bold diamond bands.   

Classic Round Solitaire Designs 

Following the theme of showcasing the centre stone, the classic trend was prevalent in Engagement Ring styles for the year 2024. A classic solitaire style with plain gold band was one of our most highly sought after designs. And how can we be surprised - the traditional solitaire is timeless choice that has been going strong for more than 50 years. Round solitaire designs have always been at the forefront of the top engagement ring styles, with 2024 year being no exception. Simple and paired back in style, solitaires are an ode to ‘less is more’ and place all the attention on the purity of the centre diamond. This minimalist aesthetic was adored by our couples and the solitaire design served as inspiration for a large portion of our clients.   
   

Vintage Designs

It was clear for 2024 nostalgia was in, and many clients lusted over vintage-inspired Engagement Rings styles. From Art Deco geometric styles to delicate Milgrain and Pave details, the elegance of yesteryear was embraced and featured in many of this year's designs. Vintage Style Engagement Rings were the perfect fit for those who appreciated the craftsmanship and intricacies of skilled jewellers to create one-of-a-kind rings. Aside from their eye-catching and decorative designs, there is a certain uniqueness about styles of the past. Which is a large part of why our clients visit us - to create a custom ring that nobody else has. The antique style symbolised the love story of many who connected with this vintage aesthetic and sparked the vision of countless majestic engagement ring designs. 

Our Signature Designs

Signature Rose and Signature Tulip Rings proved to be a firm favourite for 2024. This engagement ring style is inspired by the beauty of nature with a twist on the classic solitaire design. The designs feature a floral motif with the claws taking on an organic form, enclosing the diamond delicately in an 18ct Gold Setting for the appearance of a flower. These signature styles are crafted to allow the maximum amount of light within the setting for a bright and brilliant diamond ring. The cathedral style setting provides strength and protection for the centre diamond whilst maintaining optimum sparkle. Our signature rings charmed many as a Top chosen Engagement Ring style of 2024.
