Contemporary Engagement Rings: A Fusion of Past and Present

Engagement rings have never been one-size-fits-all, and contemporary designs prove just that. While the tradition of engagement rings dates back to ancient Rome, when betrothal bands were simple iron circles, modern styles ditch the expected in favor of individuality. The 20th century gave us the solitaire craze, but today’s rings push boundaries with asymmetry, mixed metals, unexpected stone shapes, and settings that defy tradition. Think bezels instead of towering prongs, toi et moi rings with a rebellious twist, and east-west settings that flip convention on its side.

How to Style Modern Diamond Engagement Rings

Modern engagement rings are easy to pair with your everyday outfits and jewelry. Here are our favorite styling tips:
Minimalist Edge: Let a sleek bezel-set or east-west ring shine by pairing it with slim gold or platinum bands.
Mixed Metal Moment: If your ring features mixed metals, lean into the contrast with two-tone bracelets or a layered necklace.
Stacked & Styled: Pair an asymmetrical or Toi et Moi ring with dainty stacking bands for a curated but not overly matchy effect.
Vintage Meets Modern: Balance a contemporary ring with antique-inspired earrings or a pearl necklace. A high-neck lace blouse or a classic trench coat blends the best of old and new.
All about Texture: Rings with sculptural settings or unique stone cuts pair well with textured jewelry like gold beaded cuffs or twisted hoops.
