Hottest Engagement Ring Trends of Summer 2025
There’s something about summer that brings the heart closer to what matters. The days linger, the light softens, and love seems to hang in the air like a warm breeze. It’s the season for tender proposals and engagement rings that mark that first promise of forever.
This summer, engagement rings are all about soft sparkle, sweet details, and designs that feel as warm and bright as the season itself. From dainty vintage touches to bold pops of shimmer, the trends of 2025 are here to add a little sunshine to your left hand. Ready to find the ring that makes your heart skip a beat? Here’s what’s catching everyone’s eye this summer.
1. Yellow Gold is Warming Things Up
Cool metals are taking a step back this season, and yellow gold is having a golden-hour moment of its own. Its soft, sunlit glow brings out that summer magic when you propose: warm, relaxed, and just a little bit dreamy. It suits all kinds of styles and skin tones, and there’s something about it that feels made for vows under open skies.
That effortless glow is exactly what makes The Kamellie in yellow gold so enchanting. The warm tone melts into sun-kissed skin, while the dainty band keeps things delicate and airy. And that hidden halo? It catches the light like a wink: subtle, sparkly, and completely swoon-worthy, making The Kamellie an engagement ring that’s perfect for a sunny season proposal.
2. East-West Settings Are Taking the Spotlight
One of the standout trends for summer 2025 is the east-west setting. With the center stone turned sideways, this style feels fun, fresh, and just a little bit unexpected. Elongated cuts like marquise, emerald, and oval look especially dreamy in this style, and you can add it to many of our designs for a soft touch of summer charm.
The Lexie works beautifully with this setting. As a solitaire engagement ring, it draws all attention to the center stone, so every glance catches that playful horizontal sparkle. A gently arched cathedral band lifts the stone into the light, giving it extra presence, while the smooth shank keeps the look clean and classy. Imagine it glowing in the sun at a garden ceremony or catching the light during a golden-hour proposal. It’s simple, stylish, and full of that easy warm-weather magic.
3. Mixed Diamond Shapes Are Stealing Attention
Another trend making a splash this summer is mixing side-stone shapes to create a one-of-a-kind look. Imagine a classic cushion-cut center flanked by round and marquise-cut accents stones, or a radiant-cut gem accompanied by petite trillion stones that catch the light with every turn. By pairing your main diamond with contrasting side cuts, you get a sense of movement and personality that feels especially fresh at sunny ceremonies, garden fêtes and late-night dances under the stars.
The Melissa fits this trend beautifully. Its harmonious blend of round brilliant and marquise cut diamonds catch the light with every step, giving off a reflective shimmer that feels right at home in the sunshine. With its perfect mix of polish and personality, this ring brings a little extra shine to every summer celebration. It’s elegant, eye-catching, and made to sparkle from ceremony to send-off.
4. Hidden Halos Offer a Subtle Glow
If you love sparkle but want something a little softer, a hidden halo engagement ring might be just the thing. Instead of surrounding the center stone like a traditional halo, the hidden version tucks just beneath it, giving off a gentle glow that feels perfect for golden evenings and open-air celebrations. It’s subtle, elegant, and adds just the right touch of shimmer to a summer proposal.
The Hidden Halo Penelope is made for warm-weather proposals. Its micro pavé hidden halo glows softly beneath the center stone, while the six shoulder diamonds catch the light with every step you take. Its delicate profile floats on your finger, capturing the glow of sunlit vows and evening celebrations alike.
5. Vintage Touches Feel Fresh Again
This summer, vintage-inspired rings are stealing the spotlight with a fresh, sunlit twist. Designers are embracing charming details like milgrain edges, engraved bands, and step-cut stones. But rather than simply replicating antique styles, they’re blending those touches with clean, modern lines, creating rings that are perfect for a season full of warmth, celebration, and golden light.
The Amber is a perfect example of why vintage-style engagement rings are trending this summer . Its ornate setting and milgrain details bring just the right hint of classic charm, while the engraved head adds texture and sparkle that twinkles in the sunlight and keeps glowing well into the evening. It’s graceful, timeless, and made to shine through every summer moment.
6. Three-Stone Engagement Rings Tell a Bigger Story
Some love stories feel too vibrant to be captured by a single stone. That’s why three-stone rings are glowing brighter than ever in the engagement ring trends of summer 2025. With their sunlit sparkle and layered meaning, each stone celebrates something lasting: a shared past, a joyful present, and all the bright days still ahead.
The Three Stone Twig is a dreamy choice for a summer wedding. Its band, styled like a softly twisted branch, feels right at home in an outdoor ceremony surrounded by wildflowers or beneath a canopy of trees. The trio of stones catches the light beautifully, with the pear-cut side diamonds adding a soft, glimmering touch. It’s a ring that celebrates growth, love, and everything that makes summer feel alive.
7. Lab-Grown Diamonds Are a Confident Choice
Lab-grown diamonds are shining bright in the engagement ring trends of summer 2025. You get all the sparkle of a mined diamond, but with a sustainable footprint and a friendlier price tag. Because each gem is grown in a controlled lab environment, you get a fully certified, conflict-free diamond that looks exquisite in all engagement ring settings.
The Lindsey with a lab diamond is a radiant choice for a sunny-season proposal. The mix of marquise and round cut diamonds along the band catches every bit of sunlight, creating a dazzling shimmer. With its blend of modern glamor and timeless charm, The Lindsey feels like summer: full of joy, light, and unforgettable moments.
