Unique Proposals: Alternative Engagement Ring Designs for 2025
With the appetite for unique and unusual designs growing, and jewellers getting increasingly creative with a wealth of non-traditional substitutes for the classic solitaire ring, the alternative engagement ring market has never looked healthier. In the past, trends in the traditionally strait-laced engagement category could be better described as tweaks—an added halo of diamonds, perhaps, or a preference for a specific diamond cut. This year, it’s all change, with some of the key alternative engagement ring trends for 2025 representing a very real evolution of this most classic of jewels.
Underpinning them all is a move away from uniformity and a focus on individuality, qualities we have long celebrated at KaterinaPerez.com. Let’s take a closer look at some of the biggest trends in alternative engagement rings for 2025 and the jewellers who are providing ample inspiration to future fiancées.
