STYLE The Rise Individual of For generations, engagement rings followed a familiar blueprint: a round brilliant diamond, a solitaire setting, and a precious metal band. The formula was so consistent it became shorthand for what an engagement ring “should” look like. While those classic styles remain part of the landscape, they no longer define it.
Increasingly, couples are approaching rings as something more personal. That shift reflects a broader change in how jewelry is worn and understood. Rings are chosen less by convention and more by how they fit the life and style of the person wearing them. CUT is often where the shift shows up first. The moval, part oval and part marquise, has become a favorite for buyers who want elongation without committing to a traditional marquise shape. Antique-inspired cuts are also finding new audiences. While old-mine cuts bring hand-cut character and subtle irregularity, more geometric silhouettes — hexagons, shields, and kite-set emerald cuts — offer a distinctly modern edge.
NONTRADITIONAL CUTS, SETTINGS, AND STONES ARE REDEFINING THE MODERN ENGAGEMENT RING.
