Gone are the days when diamonds ruled the world. In 2025, couples across the UK are falling in love with colourful, personality-packed gemstone engagement rings — and we’re all for it.
Here’s why they’re becoming some of themost popular engagement rings this year:

Eco-friendly vibes – Many gemstones are ethically sourced and come from jewellers who care about sustainability.
Celebrity influence– From royals to red carpets, coloured stones are making waves in the fashion world.

Sapphires are an old-school favourite with a timeless twist. Think Kate Middleton’s iconic ring – it’s still one of thetop engagement rings in the UK.
On-trend for 2025:
Oval or pear-shaped sapphires in white gold.
Art Deco-inspired halos (we love a bit of vintage glamour).
Tricolour sapphire and diamond combos.
Why we love it: Sapphires symbolise loyalty and truth — pretty perfect for saying “I do,” right? It’s also a stable classic chosen by royalty jest to make it that extra special.

What’s trending:
Ruby solitaires in rose gold (so romantic!).
Rubies surrounded by pavé diamonds.
Mixing rubies with other gems like sapphires or emeralds.
Perfect for couples who wear their hearts on their hands (literally).
