The Hot List: Engagement Rings That Owned 2025

As 2025 begins to wrap up, we’ve been looking back at the moments that made this year so special — the heartfelt proposals, the happy tears, the quiet “yes” whispers and the joyful phone calls to best friends and family.

At Harmony Jewels London, some designs didn’t just shine… they completely stole the spotlight. These were the engagement ring styles our customers fell head-over-heels for in 2025, the rings that turned love stories into forever stories.

Let’s revisit the five designs that defined the year in sparkle.


East-West: The Modern Muse

The East-West setting became one of 2025’s most eye-catching trends. By setting the stone horizontally instead of the traditional vertical orientation, this design feels instantly modern, fresh and a little bit daring (in the best way).

It was a favourite among brides looking for something different: Minimal, elegant and incredibly chic. Paired with an emerald or oval cut, the East-West ring was a true fashion statement this year.

Why it sold so well: It’s unique without being over the top. Perfectly balanced between classic and contemporary.

Juliette Solitaire: Pure Romance

If 2025 had a love language, the Juliette Solitaire spoke it fluently. Timeless, graceful and inspired by classic romance, this design became a go-to for proposals that felt straight out of a film.

A beautifully set centre stone, a refined band and soft, elegant lines made Juliette the ultimate “forever” ring, one that will never feel dated, no matter how many trends come and go.

Celebrities who embraced this trend included:

Why it sold so well: Understated elegance always wins.

Rubover: Sleek & Secure

This year, more couples leaned towards rings that felt both modern and practical — and that’s where the Rubover setting truly shone. With the diamond encircled in a smooth metal rim, this style offers extra protection for the stone along with a super clean, contemporary look.

It was especially popular with active lifestyles and those who loved a minimal, architectural aesthetic.

Why it sold so well: Smart design meets modern beauty.

Trilogy: Three Times the Meaning

The Trilogy ring remained a powerful symbol in 2025. With three stones representing the past, present and future, this design is rich in meaning and emotion — and our customers loved that depth.

Whether featuring three diamonds or a mix of coloured gemstones and diamonds, the Trilogy was chosen by couples looking for something symbolic, slightly bolder, and unmistakably romantic.

Why it sold so well: Every stone tells a part of the story.

Wide Band Solitaire: Bold is Beautiful

One of the biggest surprises (and favourites!) of 2025 was the rise of the Wide Band Solitaire. Strong, confident and unapologetically modern, it redefined what a solitaire could look like.

Instead of delicate and barely-there, this design made a statement — perfect for those who love jewellery that feels powerful, striking and fashion-forward.

This bold band trend was also reflected in recent celebrity engagements, with stars like Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus both revealing rings featuring chunkier, statement-style bands — reinforcing the idea that modern love deserves modern design.

Why it sold so well: A modern classic with main character energy.
