Engagement rings are more than just a piece of jewelry; they’re a symbol of love, commitment, and a unique personal style. In recent years, we’ve seen a shift toward individuality and vintage-inspired designs, with couples seeking rings that tell their own story. From bold gemstones to intricate settings, engagement ring trends are constantly evolving. As we step into the new year, 2025 engagement rings are seeing big trends! And one cut, in particular, is currently stealing the spotlight: the marquise diamond.

A Quick Look at Current Engagement Ring Trends

The 2025 engagement ring landscape is defined by creativity and personal expression. Vintage-inspired designs continue to hold strong, with Art Deco elements and unique settings catching the eyes of couples. Going two tone with a white gold engagement ring and yellow gold band is already on the rise at the start of the year. In addition, colored gemstones and unconventional shapes are also trending, offering a departure from traditional white diamonds. Sustainability is another key focus, as more couples prioritize ethically sourced stones and recycled metals. We love working with your heirloom diamonds, or let us source an heirloom diamond for you that gives an already mined stone a new story. At Elaine B Jewelry, we’re proud to make sustainability a cornerstone of our designs, using responsibly sourced materials to create meaningful pieces that last a lifetime.

Amid these trends, the marquise diamond has emerged as the ultimate symbol of timeless elegance with a modern twist. And thanks to a major celebrity endorsement, it’s enjoying a well-deserved moment in the spotlight.

The Marquise Diamond: A Star is Reborn

The marquise diamond, with its elongated shape and pointed ends, has a storied history dating back to the 18th century. Originally commissioned by King Louis XV of France to resemble his mistress’s smile, the cut exudes romance and regal sophistication. While it’s always been a classic choice, the marquise has often taken a back seat to more popular cuts like the round brilliant or oval. Until now.

The world took notice, and suddenly, this vintage-inspired shape is enjoying a modern revival. Selena’s ring is a testament to the marquise’s versatility; it’s both classic and edgy, making it perfect for the style-conscious bride-to-be.

Why Choose a Marquise Diamond?

1. Elegant Elongation: The marquise cut’s elongated shape creates the illusion of a larger stone, making it an excellent choice for maximizing sparkle on any budget. It also flatters the finger, giving a slender and elongated appearance. 

2. Vintage Appeal with Modern Versatility: Whether set in a minimalist solitaire or surrounded by intricate detailing, the marquise diamond offers a unique blend of vintage charm and contemporary chic. 

3. Endless Customization: The marquise cut’s distinctive silhouette pairs beautifully with various settings, metals, and accents. From halo settings to east-west orientations, the possibilities are endless.

4. Celebrity Approval: Thanks to Selena Gomez and other trendsetting celebrities, the marquise diamond has officially reclaimed its status as a go-to choice for engagement rings. Its newfound popularity ensures it will remain a sought-after style for years to come.
