The most popular engagement rings for 2022 continue to follow the 2021 trends— in bold, dramatic, and beautiful styles. These designs were seen on celebrities, royals, and glamorous icons in the entertainment industry in 2022.
Most popular gemstone engagement rings
Among gemstone engagement rings the diamond engagement ring continues to remain popular in 2022 as in 2021. Diamond engagement rings in 2022 sport either natural or lab-grown diamonds or solitaires in protective bezel settings, secure prong settings on sleek and elegant gold ring bands or super sparkly pave-set ring shanks.
Lab-grown diamond engagement rings have risen in popularity since 2021 for their sustainable tag; most 2022 brides are convinced of their being durable, environment-friendly, and more affordable than a natural diamond!
Colourless (white) and black diamonds continue to be the most popular colours for diamond engagement rings.
There is no doubt that this is the year of bling in engagement rings; famous engagement rings in 2022 flaunt glamour, colour and sparkle with coloured gemstones. Glorious sapphires, emeralds, and rubies trend as highly favoured coloured gemstones for engagement rings. Amongst the more affordable choices are, pink tourmalines, aquamarines, moissanite (also called the diamond alternative), and morganites which are happy combinations for unrivalled aesthetics and affordability.
2022’s most popular engagement ring metals
Gold engagement rings
Beautiful, durable and precious, yellow gold, rhodium-plated white gold and blush-hued rose gold in 14-karat (575) and 18-karat (750) gold are the preferred metal settings for engagement ring shanks this year. Yellow gold, in particular, has made a big comeback in 2022 and found a firm spot, paired with coloured gemstones. Elegant white gold is, as always, the favourite gold colour for brilliant diamond settings.
Silver engagement rings
Engagement rings in solid sterling silver (925) with gold vermeil plating (superior-quality gold plating) or rhodium plating (for durability and a white-gold finish) are excellent, affordable alternatives for gold engagement rings; as silver is well-recognised as a more reasonably priced, long-lasting and precious metal.

Toi Et Moi, or endearingly called You and Me, is the symbolic bypass ring, here to stay through 2022 and beyond. Sporting two gemstones, it gently wraps around your ring finger. Worn by celebrities Megan Fox and Ariana Grande, this ring oozes romance and passion, evocative of two soulmates immortalising their promises.
Solitaire The queen of all engagement rings, this classic design continues to captivate. Choose a single sparkling rock set on a polished or matte finished shank, with or without accents, or one complemented by pave-set diamonds along the shank to radiate glamour.
Oval engagement rings Feminine and charming, the oval solitaire has made a big comeback. The gemstone is famous for its quality of concealing inclusions, and its impressive size and soft curves make it a popular engagement ring.
Contoured ring bands Contoured bands are exquisite, and great for stacking and layering with your wedding band and anniversary rings. A single gemstone with smaller stones along the band’s contours makes this ring truly stand out.
Vintage-inspired designs are back with a bang. Vintage engagement rings are in fashion in 2022, reflecting a quintessential, old-world charm. Inspired by an heirloom or a rekindling of a sentimental connection, the resurgence of vintage-inspired designs has given a new life to traditional cuts like cushion and marquise this year.
Halo rings Think of Kate Middleton and Amy Adams to understand why this lush design is so coveted. With coloured gemstones making waves in 2022, both single and double halo engagement rings showcase a diamond or coloured centre stone, encircled by smaller accent stones.
Plain and gem-encrusted wedding bands When the moment for making promises to have and to hold come, make the occasion precious, encapsulating your vows in a beautiful gold or silver band. Plain or engraved, polished or matte-finished, a single diamond or encrusted with gemstones along the ring, wedding bands this year are bold and edgy, making a spectacular statement.
