2026 Engagement Ring Trends

Toi et moi (two-stone) settings moved from a niche request to one of the most searched engagement ring styles this year, often pairing a diamond with a colored gemstone rather than two matching stones.

Lab-grown center stones now account for a meaningful share of engagement ring sales tracked across our retailer panel, driven mainly by size-for-price rather than any shift in how couples feel about lab-grown as a category.

Colored center stones — sapphire and emerald in particular — are increasingly requested as a diamond alternative rather than strictly a colored-stone preference, often to hit a larger visual size at a lower price point.
