Recently Platinum trend report: Engagement Rings, that said, naturally white, 30 times rarer than gold, and hypoallergenic, platinum is the metal of the moment for engagement rings. An art deco stalwart of the 1920s, it has since traveled nimbly through the decades to set the standard for sophisticated, design forward engagement ring settings.
Platinum’s allure is eternal. Today’s most discerning couples continue to regard it as the ultimate in quality, luxury, and longevity. Many also pay attention to engagement ring trends, and right now, six key styles are commanding the spotlight. Here focussing two designs:
Pretty Pastels: Emeralds. Blue sapphires. Rubies. These are the enduringly classic choices for colored stone engagement rings, but right now, softer shades feel fresh and modern: It’s the Barbie effect mellowing into a spectrum of muted pinks, lilac, lavender and peach, hues that can surface in durable center-stone contenders like fancy color diamonds, sapphires and spinels.
Paired with mint green or melon for contrast—plus the incomparable luster of platinum—you get a palette that evokes rows of macarons in a Parisian patisserie. C’est magnifique!
Gender Fluid: The look is neither feminine nor masculine but somewhere in between. Often there is a fiercely modern component to these rings: clean, meticulous metalwork, sharp geometric motifs and icy step-cut diamonds. And wider comfort-driven bands to fit an array of finger sizes.
No binary labels are needed here—the gender fluid style is for celebrants. And that fact alone makes it inherently chic—especially when the ring is crafted in platinum.
