Lab Diamonds Continue to Dominate  

Quiz Time!

Does your partner like…

A) A giant rock that is kinder to the planet

B) A traditional diamond

C) "Wait, diamonds come from labs now?"

The year 2025 is all about lab diamonds dominating the world of engagement rings and jewellery at the same time. It is no secret that we all love a blingy stone, but oftentimes we refrain from buying one such piece, all because of the exorbitant price tag. But that is not the case anymore; with lab diamonds being in the picture, buyers no longer have to worry about it! 

Lab diamonds come with the same jaw-dropping sparkle but without the ethical ick. Lab-grown diamonds give you the same sparkle, chemistry and dazzle but are kinder to the planet and your wallet. Plus, you get to flex that you did not spend months' worth of salary to buy a diamond jewellery piece.

Yellow Gold Makes a Big Comeback

Quiz Time!

Your partner’s jewellery box is mostly filled with…

A) Delicate silver pieces

B) Chunky gold hoops and layered necklaces

C) Jewellery box? She has drawers filled with different styles of jewellery.

While we know that rose gold had its moment, let us not forget the icy reign of platinum, but in 2025? It is all about the warmth and richness of yellow gold. This metal is warm, rich and ridiculously flattering, and it has made a major comeback. 

It is perfect for those who want their ring to feel timelessly elegant while not being too traditional. Think of it as a jewellery piece equivalent of a perfectly styled leather jacket. The beauty of a yellow gold engagement ring flatters every skin tone and the best part is that you can stack it with a platinum wedding band to create a mixed metal ring stack. 

You can go with the beauty of our Evelina Round Three Stone Lab Diamond Ring in 18kt yellow gold. This trending engagement ring features a diamond securely held in a three-prong setting to ensure maximum brilliance. Try pairing this lab diamond engagement ring with the Oona Wedding Band in platinum. The curved shank of the ring effortlessly fits the engagement ring style; it almost feels like a match made in jewellery heaven.

FAQs

Q: Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

A: They are real diamonds! They are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, just created in a lab. Think of it like ice from your freezer vs. ice from a glacier. Same thing, different origin.

Q: Will vintage-inspired rings look too old-fashioned?

Nope! Modern takes on vintage designs keep the romance but ditch the fragility. Picture Bridgerton meets 2025, all the drama, none of the delicate heirloom stress.

Q: Is yellow gold actually trendy again?

It’s not just trendy; it’s the metal of the moment. Warm, luxe, and flattering on every skin tone. Even Meghan Markle’s a fan.

Q: What’s the deal with Toi et Moi rings?

Two stones = double the sparkle, double the symbolism. It’s for couples who can’t choose just one vibe.

Q: Are colored diamonds too out there for an engagement ring?

Says who? Princess Kate’s rocking a sapphire, and emeralds/rubies are having a major moment. If your partner loves colour, lean in!

With that being said, trending engagement ring styles are all about breaking rules and making your proposal personal. Whether your partner’s vibe is "give me all the vintage drama" or "I want a ring no one else has," there’s a style (or three) with their name on it.
