As we enter Fall 2025, new trends are emerging that blend timeless elegance with contemporary flair.  Staying up to date with these styles ensures your ring feels current while remaining a cherished heirloom in years to come.
 

ENGAGEMENT RING TRENDS FOR FALL 2025

This season, engagement ring trends are seamlessly reflected in James & Sons’ favorite styles.  Classic solitaires continue their reign with subtle modern updates, while unique halo settings are sought after for their added brilliance and personality.  Pave bands, another major trend, feature delicate rows of diamonds that shimmer along the band, perfect for those who want a ring that truly sparkles.  These styles evoke the romance and sophistication of the season.
 

JAMES & SONS' TOP ENGAGEMENT RING STYLES

A. Classic Solitaire
The solitaire remains a timeless favorite.  At James & Sons, this iconic style is updated with contemporary touches such as sleek, tapered bands and hidden halo details, providing a fresh twist while retaining its elegant simplicity.
  
B. Unique Halo Settings
For those who crave extra sparkle, halo settings are in the spotlight.  James & Sons offers distinctive halos with geometric shapes or vintage-inspired edges, elevating the brilliance and presence of the center stone.
 
C. Pave Bands
Pave engagement rings are another standout style this season.  Tiny diamonds are set closely together along the band, creating a continuous shimmer that catches the light from every angle.  At James & Sons, our pave bands combine delicate craftsmanship with dazzling sparkle, offering both classic and modern designs.  This style is perfect for those who want maximum brilliance and a touch of glamour without overwhelming the center stone.
 

TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT ENGAGEMENT RING

When selecting a ring, consider your partner’s lifestyle and fashion sense.  A classic solitaire may suit someone with a minimalist taste, while a halo setting might appeal to those who love bold, eye-catching jewelry.
 
Understanding the 4 C’s: cut, color, clarity, and carat, will allow you to make an informed choice.  Our knowledgeable staff will guide clients through these factors, ensuring their selection sparkles in every way.
