As the festive season approaches, it’s the perfect time for a heartfelt proposal — and choosing the right engagement ring is key. For Christmas 2025, we’re seeing a beautiful blend of timeless classics and modern refinements in engagement ring trends. Whether you're set on proposing this Christmas or simply gathering inspiration, these four styles of engagement rings are leading the charge — and they each offer something unique.

The Round Brilliant Cut Solitaire

The round brilliant cut solitaire remains the ultimate classic for a reason: its symmetry, brilliance and versatility. Briefly overtaken by the oval solitaire as our most popular engagement ring style, but this season, the round brilliant cut is firmly back at number one. With its timeless appeal, a round solitaire is a safe yet elegant choice for a festive proposal. Plus, its brilliant facets catch Christmas lights beautifully — making every sparkle count.

A Bezel Setting

While the cut of the diamond is important, the setting is gaining equal attention in 2025. Bezel settings—where the diamond is encircled by a circle of metal — are having a major moment.

Bezel settings offer superior protection around the stone — perfect for someone with an active lifestyle. They deliver a sleek, modern look, aligning with minimalism and quiet‑luxury aesthetics. 

Marquise Cut Diamonds

One of the standout shapes for 2025: the marquise cut. Long and elegant, it’s enjoying a revival thanks to both vintage charm and modern desirability. Its elongated silhouette always makes fingers appear slimmer and draws the eye. The shape feels vintage yet fresh — a nod to heritage amid modern settings.

Cushion Cut Diamonds

Vintage‑inspired and softly elegant, cushion cut diamonds are increasingly popular heading into 2025. A cushion cut engagement ring is the perfect mix of classic and contemporary, with the romantic soft corners of the cushion and modern faceting.

By far the engagement ring style that's most trending this year, thanks to Taylor Swift's antique cushion-cut beauty.


This Christmas, timeless doesn’t mean boring — and bold doesn’t mean fleeting. The trending engagement ring styles for 2025 strike a beautiful balance between tradition and individuality. From the ever‑popular round brilliant solitaire to the rising stars of bezel‑set, marquise and cushion cut diamonds, there’s a ring style to match every love story.

Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal by the fire or simply browsing for inspiration, let the sparkle of the season guide you.
