The sharp, angled silhouettes of deco-inspired design may be perennial bridal favorites, but in 2024 engagement rings distinguished by rounded, organic shapes are on the rise.
Credit the pendulum swing that governs trends in the fine jewelry category. After years of geometric styles taking center stage, designers are embracing more voluptuous settings featuring gentle curves set with curvy stones such as rounds, pears, ovals, and marquise-cut.
Refinery29 noted the vogue for curved rings in its roundup of 2024 engagement ring trends. One reason the look is gaining popularity has to do with the way modern brides are wearing their wedding jewels: paired with bands and decorative jackets boasting easy-to-stack rounded forms.
Another reason for the renewed interest in curvy forms? Don’t discount the seductiveness of designs that recall Mother Nature, especially in these AI-fueled times, nor the growing appeal of unconventional-looking rings that stray from tradition with an artfully placed curve or two.
Below, we feature a bevy of slinky rings set with modestly sized diamonds as well as major statement stones—proof that no matter the budget, curvaceous styles are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
