Top Bridal Trends of Fall 2024

1. Large Lab-Grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds continue their popularity in the bridal jewelry landscape, offering beauty and accessibility without sacrificing luxury. This season, larger lab-grown diamonds are in the spotlight. Bold, multi-stone looks, heavily accented shanks, fancy centers or side stone shapes, and higher carat weights are all trending. Brides are eager to make grand statements with expansive, yet affordable stones that offer the same brilliance as their mined counterparts.

2. Retro Revival

Step back in time with retro-inspired styles that pay homage to the Big 80s. Think of the bold influence of the decade when bigger meant better in terms of fashion, hair, and jewelry — chunky settings, more metal, and center stones with higher carat weights. These retro-inspired styles add a unique touch of personality and flair for the modern bride.

3. Cigar Bands

Cigar bands are making waves in the bridal world with their bold, chunky composition that demands attention. These rings, often kept simple with minimal embellishments, are perfect for brides who favor a minimalist yet robust look. They can be worn alone as a statement or paired with engagement rings to highlight a dazzling center stone. Not only is the complimentary band getting wider but also the shank on the engagement ring is getting a bolder, metal-heavy design.

4. Double-Row Accented Anniversary Bands

The trend of double-row accented anniversary bands is gaining traction, offering a luxurious way to mark significant relationship milestones. Brides are choosing these versatile, eye-catching bands to complement a solitaire engagement ring or as part of a stacked

look. Think layered elegance with double rows of natural or lab-grown diamond accents.

5. Two-Tone Engagement Rings & Wedding Bands

Two-tone engagement rings and wedding bands appeal to those who appreciate the harmony of mixed metals. With two-tone engagement rings, we’re primarily seeing white gold heads and yellow shanks or platinum heads with yellow shanks. This is to better illuminate the clear white color of the larger center stone while still achieving the yellow gold look. For the groom, two-tone inlay wedding bands demonstrate adaptability in both traditional and modern aesthetics.

6. Hidden Halo Engagement Rings

Experience the mesmerizing allure of hidden halo engagement rings, where a dazzling circle of brilliance embraces the center stone. Nestled discreetly under prong tips, this exquisite feature offers captivating angles that unleash the full sparkle of each precious stone. Choose from an array of bestsellers and the latest trends, all crafted to deliver an undeniable wow factor. Ideal for brides who crave subtle elegance with an extra touch of radiance, hidden halo-style engagement rings promise to shine brightly.
