Yellow Gold
Art Deco Style Diamond Engagement Ring, Pictured in Yellow Gold With 1.5 Carat Center Diamond
First up, we have the most dominant engagement ring trend of 2020: yellow gold. For most of the past decade, white gold and platinum have been the top precious metal options. Rose gold had its moments as well (rose gold engagement rings were the top choice for a period in the mid 2010s) but yellow gold had remained a less common choice. However, yellow gold is back in a big way for 2020! If we had to guess why this beautifully classic precious metal is such a big trend for 2020, we’d say it's due to a combination of two factors. One, that yellow gold jewelry in general is trending this year. Glance at any 2020 runway and you’ll see models covered in yellow gold necklaces, earrings, and rings. Then, two, more traditional engagement ring styles have seen a big rise in popularity over the last few years and yellow gold happens to be a very traditional precious metal. So, it makes sense that yellow gold would become more popular as classic engagement rings become more popular, since these two design elements pair perfectly together.Oval Diamonds

The top diamond shape for 2020 is the gorgeous, sophisticated oval cut. Oval cut diamonds have been rising in popularity for a few years thanks to the fancy shaped diamond trend. But in 2020, the oval shape has become notably more popular than other fancy shapes, likely because of their traditional style (which fits with the traditional engagement ring trend) and the impact of some celebrity engagement rings. Hailey Bieber, Blake Lively, and Katherine Schwarzenner are among the many celebs who have recently received oval diamond engagement rings.Platinum

Platinum is the second most popular engagement ring precious metal for 2020. This beautiful, bright white precious metal is experiencing a boom for a similar reason as yellow gold: it’s quite classic. Platinum is elegant and luxe, and it has a certain timeless quality that’s very appealing. Highly classic platinum rings, like platinum solitaire rings and platinum three stone engagement rings, are particularly en vogue for 2020.Super Skinny Bands

Super skinny bands have been popular with celebrities for a number of years, and this trend now seems to be piquing public interest in a big way. Super skinny wedding bands and engagement rings that feature very skinny bands are practically the default choice for 2020. It’s easy to see why wedding rings with super slim bands are so popular. Extremely slim bands not only have a delicate and chic look, but also provide a size advantage. Through the power of optical illusion, a very slim band can make your center diamond or gemstone look larger.Hidden Halo Rings

Simple, classic engagement rings with hidden details are very popular for 2020. And by the far the most popular type of hidden detail at the moment is the hidden halo. A hidden halo engagement ring features a tiny pave-diamond-set ring around or just underneath their raised center stone. Hidden halos have been popular in past years because they can add even more shimmer and detail to already ornate designs. This year, however, these hidden accents are most popular on classic styles, like solitaires and diamond band designs, where they add just the right amount of delicate detail and personality.Elongated Shapes

The oval shaped diamond isn’t the only elongated fancy shape that’s trending this year-- emerald cut, radiant cut, elongated cushion cut, and pear shaped diamonds are all in high demand. It’s hard to know exactly why elongated fancy shaped diamonds in particular are trending, but it could be because word has spread about the many advantages of choosing an elongated diamond shape. Elongated diamond shapes are flattering on the finger, less expensive than round diamonds per carat, and they also look larger per carat when compared to most other shapes. By the nature of their cuts, elongated gemstone shapes carry more of their mass on their table (their tops). So, per carat, elongated shapes like emerald cut diamonds and pear shaped diamonds look bigger when compared to other shapes._____________________
