Call it a comeback — 2021 provided us with a thrill of hope and a revival of ageless trends in the engagement ring space.
As we look ahead to 2022, we sense a strong continuation of certain styles. For the innovative minds who may be faint at heart upon this news, take care. There are also an abundance of exciting releases and trends pushing ahead as we enter a New Year.
Read on to discover our team’s predictions for what we’ll see in 2022.
Elongated Diamond Cuts
Emeralds
“When thinking of cuts, emeralds are definitely still hot, and radiant cuts are pushing their way to the top of a bride’s wish list.” – Benjamin Javaheri, Founding President and Master Designer
Jumping off with a continuation from last year’s prediction: Emerald diamonds remain a coveted favorite of brides this year.
Composed of clean, linear facets, this versatile stone pairs impeccably well with countless settings. This style exudes confidence — radiating from its dazzling shape and the woman who wears it. We are confident this style will continue to hold its place atop the fancy-cut throne.
Radiant
Radiant Cuts are not to be missed and continue to be a trend we see blowing up in 2022. A radiant cut has 40-57 facets, almost doubling the brilliance of a round cut. This type of dazzling gem is often recommended for those who want a square or rectangular look, as the facets will reflect more light and create more sparkle.
Multiple Center Stones
3-stone oval
“The three-stone oval engagement ring is a must-have silhouette for brides.” – Benjamin Javaheri, Founding President and Master Designer
If you’re looking for a unique engagement ring, look no further than the 3-stone Oval Ring. Favored by our team as a good alternative to a traditional, single center stone setting, it is positively eye-catching with one diamond in the center flanked by two equally stunning stones or diamonds. Combine style with symbolism with three stones representing the past, present and future.
Ring Stacks
Alternating Stackables
We are still holding strong to stackable rings — not only a gorgeous accompaniment to a stunning engagement ring, but perfect for any occasion.
For those who love mixing and matching, alternating stackable round and emerald cut bands heed the call of modern women everywhere who seek creative ways to express their individuality.
Us Collection
A notable favorite of Benjamin’s, the Us Collection includes unique and stylish stackable diamond bands worthy to adorn the fingers of brides and stylish women alike. A beautiful mix of round and emerald cut stackable rings adds extra sparkle to any engagement ring and creates a stunning visual effect.
Other Noteworthy Trends
Colored Gemstones
The late-2021 release of “Spencer” no doubt contributes to the ongoing hype of Princess Diana’s sapphire-and-diamond ring — and with it, that special “thing” we have for colored gemstones.
The surge continues for colorful engagement rings as more and more brides seek sophisticated, out-of-the-box pieces. Specifically, we see a higher demand for glittering sapphires, dazzling yellow diamonds, charismatic emeralds, and thrilling pinks.
There’s no doubt that 2022 will be an opportunity of revival for many, and with it, engagement ring trends we know and love. With that, we’re holding to hope, peace, and excitement to see how the fresh start of another year impacts trends in fashion and jewelry. Our biggest piece of advice when choosing your engagement ring is to pick a style that molds with your vision of your best, most unique self.
