9 Engagement Ring Trends to Consider
Review the trendiest engagement rings to uncover contemporary and timeless styles that you or your partner may adore.
1. Oval-Shaped Stones
The oval cut diamond and oval cut colored gemstone are enjoying a resurgence in popularity. These shapes are elongating and present a flattering appearance on the finger. The elegant oval shape also tends to look visually larger for its carat weight.
We’re showcasing three oval-shaped rings to exemplify the diverse aesthetics an oval can create.
- Elowen: The Elowen design showcases a series of oval stones that gracefully taper in size, each secured in compass prongs along a sleek half-round shank. The stunning ring is a vintage-inspired masterpiece.
- Polly: Polly highlights an oval center stone encircled by an intricate halo of clustered round diamonds. The ring is set in an elegant cathedral setting and rests on a half-round flat-edge shank for a sophisticated look.
- Adaline: Adaline is all modern elegance with a solitaire oval center stone in a cathedral solitaire setting atop a refined half-round shank. It perfectly encapsulates the new age wow factor.

2. Yellow Gold Engagement Rings
The best engagement rings come in all different metals, from platinum to rose gold and beyond. For decades, the reigning metal color has been white gold. Recently, though, The Knot found that white gold has seen a 29% decline in popularity since 2015.
The newest metal trend is the resurgence of yellow gold. Its vintage feel pairs elegantly with Art Deco styles and pops against modern designs. Olive Ave Jewelry’s range of yellow gold rings is perfect for those looking to embrace this warm, sophisticated trend. We gathered gorgeous options that perfectly show off yellow gold’s charm.
- Jude: Jude is a splendid modern ring that highlights an elongated cushion center stone, secured with claw prongs, and set atop a striking split shank for a bold statement. The delicate curve of the split shank showcases the gorgeous yellow gold.
- Chelsey: The Chelsey features a striking lozenge-cut center stone, complemented by a gracefully tapered shank adorned with sleek, straight channel-set baguettes surrounded by glowing yellow gold.
- Oliver: The Oliver design highlights a striking emerald-cut center stone, elegantly set in a classic solitaire setting atop a wide, flat yellow gold shank for a timeless look.

3. Vintage-Inspired
Vintage-inspired designs come with intricate details and romantic stylings. The term 'vintage' goes beyond simply being old; these rings are timeless treasures that serve as windows to the past. Each vintage engagement or wedding ring carries a feeling of love, artistry, and tradition. These pieces also span periods like Art Deco and Edwardian, so there are many design options to choose from.
We've assembled a few of the Olive Ave Jewelry vintage-inspired collections, ideal for those who want a ring with character and history.
- June: The June design showcases an emerald-shaped center stone secured by delicate tulip prongs. It is accented with intricate side details and a gracefully grooved shank for added elegance and old-school charm.
