As we step into 2025, Sydney's engagement ring scene continues to evolve with a blend of timeless elegance and modern design innovations. At Tok Jewellers, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the trends to help couples find or design their perfect symbol of love.

Here are the top 10 custom diamond engagement ring trends to inspire your proposal this year:

Vintage-Inspired Designs Vintage styles are making a comeback with intricate details like milgrain edges, filigree patterns, and art deco influences. These rings combine the romance of the past with modern craftsmanship.

Incorporating fine detail is a specialty at Tok Jewellers, where we draw inspiration from our heritage, such as the charming silver filigree bag from the Tok Family's private collection to the delicate gallery motif featured in one of our large topaz rings.

During our custom design consultations, we encourage you to think deeply about your own history & special moments - like a favourite colour, or verse that we can incorporate into your own creation.

Coloured Diamonds and Gemstones While classic white diamonds remain popular, more couples are choosing coloured diamonds and gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds, and even black diamonds for a unique twist.

One of the most captivating examples we have created is an incredible tanzanite and diamond ring. Tanzanite, known for its stunning violet-blue hue, is exceptionally rare as it is found in only one place on Earth – near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. This rarity and its mesmerizing colour make tanzanite a truly special choice for an engagement ring.

Hidden Halo Settings The hidden halo design, where a circle of diamonds is set beneath the centre stone, adds an extra layer of sparkle without overwhelming the main diamond.

Oval and Pear-Cut Diamonds Fancy shapes like oval and pear cuts continue to dominate, offering a distinctive yet elegant look with plenty of brilliance.

Minimalist Solitaire Rings Simplicity speaks volumes with solitaire rings featuring sleek, minimal bands and a focus on the beauty of the diamond itself.

Sustainable and Ethical Choices Couples are increasingly prioritizing ethically sourced diamonds and recycled metals, aligning their love story with values of responsibility and sustainability.

Mixed Metal Bands Blending metals such as rose gold with platinum or yellow gold adds contrast and a modern flair to classic designs. 

Mixed metals can also be used to highlight a centre or coloured gemstone, creating stunning visual contrast. This technique is perfect for defining beautiful textures in your ring, such as a milgrain finish. A great example of this is our kunzite and diamond ring, where the blend of metals enhances the stone's soft pink hue while emphasizing intricate design elements.

Custom Engraving and Personalisation Adding personal touches like initials, dates, or meaningful symbols inside the band makes each ring truly one of a kind.

Three-Stone Rings Symbolizing the past, present, and future, three-stone rings have returned with updated designs focusing on symmetry and elegant proportions.

Nature-Inspired Designs Floral motifs, leaf patterns, and organic shapes reflect a growing trend for rings inspired by nature's beauty.
