Tis the Season of Giving: 6 Trending Engagement Ring Designs for This Summer
Summer in Australia isn’t just about warm beaches and festive cheer—it’s also a magical season for engagements. With the holidays in full swing, it’s the perfect time to give the ultimate gift: a symbol of love and commitment. Whether you're planning a romantic beach proposal or a cozy moment under twinkling lights, the right ring will make the moment unforgettable.
Here are the top engagement ring trends this summer, combining timeless elegance with modern flair:
1. Oval-Cut Diamonds: The Classic
Oval-shaped diamonds are in high demand. Their elongated shape flatters the hand and enhances sparkle, especially when paired with a sleek yellow gold band. View The Harriet Ring which features a stunning oval cut diamond set in yellow gold with sweeping shoulders. The Ella Ring is a classic design featuring a lab grown oval diamond set in a floating band with enough room for any wedding band to sit flush.
Why it’s perfect for summer — The shape captures sunlight beautifully, making it ideal for outdoor proposals.
2. Toi et Moi Rings: A Symbol of Two Souls
This French-inspired design showcases two gemstones side by side, symbolising two lives united. Opt for diamonds or mix it up with a coloured gemstone for a personalised touch. The Kiara Ring is a stunning and unique Toi Et Moi design which featured a curved band for a modern take.
Why it’s perfect for summer — Its distinctive design stands out at festive gatherings.
3. Solitaire with a Twist
Classic solitaire rings are reimagined with twisted bands or hidden halos, offering a subtle yet contemporary twist while keeping the centre stone in focus. The Hayley Ring is a perfect example of making a solitaire ring your own, this ring features a pear cut diamond with a twisted diamond yellow gold band.
Why it’s perfect for summer — Its versatility makes it a match for every summer occasion, from casual beachwear to elegant evening attire.
4. Emerald-Cut Elegance
Known for its clean lines and step-cut facets, the emerald cut exudes timeless sophistication. Set it in white gold or platinum for a crisp, modern look. There are so many ways to set an emerald cut to make it unique, for instance, why not opt for this more masculine design which features a lab grown emerald cut diamond in a bezel setting. For a more classic take on an emerald cut diamond, you will adore The Heidi Ring - set in four claws on a yellow gold band with plenty of room for your future wedding band to fit perfectly flush. For a more modern approach why not turn your emerald cut diamond on its side and go for a half bezel setting, like The Goldie Ring. This is one of my all time favourites for 2024 and 2025!
Why it’s perfect for summer — The sleek design feels cool and refreshing, balancing the season's warmth.
5. Nature-Inspired Designs
Floral patterns, vine-like bands, and organic motifs are trending for their romantic, whimsical charm. These rings often include delicate milgrain details or small accent stones. The Theresa Ring is our nature inspired ring that we absolutely love, she is set in yellow gold with mailgrain detailing and set with a Parti sapphire - Natural Australian Green Sapphire.
Why it’s perfect for summer — Nature-inspired designs capture the season’s vibrant energy, perfect for outdoor-loving couples.
6. Coloured Gemstones for a Pop of Personality
Summer is the season of colour, and gemstones like sapphires, emeralds, and morganites add a unique flair to engagement rings. These bold hues stand out beautifully against traditional diamond designs.The Bo Ring features a natural blue oval cut sapphire and is set with marquise shaped diamonds in a yellow gold setting.
