Trend 1: The Center Stone Takes Center Stage
Solitaires are back in a BIG way. 2024 will see plenty of timeless, classic solitaire engagement ring styles where the center stone takes all the glory. MiaDonna shoppers appreciate our affordability and treat themselves to a diamond ring with a 2.0-4.0 carat weight center stone.
On average, MiaDonna’s created diamonds cost up to 50% less than an earth-mined diamond of equivalent quality. Our supply chain is shorter: earth-mined diamonds can go through five countries and 20 people before reaching the end consumer. MiaDonna’s lab-created diamonds go from our labs, to our casting house, to you. Not only is it more efficient, but it’s also better for your wallet and the environment.
The best way to show off your glistening, huge diamond is with a solitaire on a simple band. Our Traditional Solitaire Engagement Ring offers a classic style prong head and a delicate, rounded edge shank.
Looking for a cathedral-style setting? Elevate your center stone with our Dior Solitaire Stackable Ring. The Blonde Solitaire Engagement Ring offers a low profile setting in a slightly thicker band. They're all classic, simple styles at affordable starting prices.
Our Millie Hidden Halo Engagement Ring gives a solitaire look with more bling in its hidden halo of 0.06ctw lab-grown diamonds surrounding your center stone. Take it from us - diamonds are the perfect little secret to add a little pep to your step.

Trend 2: The Bold and the Beautiful
After years of delicate, thin bands reigning supreme, the shanks of engagement rings will be bolder in 2024 to support larger center stones. Engagement rings with wide, high polish, plain metal will be in, like our Penny Solitaire Engagement Ring. Its 3.77mm band gives solid support for the biggest center stone you desire! The Stefania Hidden Halo Solitaire features a strong band with a hidden halo of lab-grown diamonds under its center stone.
Wider bands also work great when you add lab diamond accents. For more sparkle, our Crimson Accented Engagement Ring adds lab-grown diamonds halfway down the wide band, and the 10 Stone Accented Engagement Ring dazzles with 0.50ctw lab-grown diamonds on either side of the center stone.

Trend 3: Sleek and Modern Bezels
Unique and modern brides will make incredible fashion statements with semi-bezel and bezel rings. Instead of traditional metal claw prongs, a bezel setting encloses the gem with a metal edge.
Bezel settings create a sleek and modern look, and are a great choice for active lifestyles, as the gemstone is more securely held in place. This metal rim can be a full circle – bezel – or a partial circle – semi-bezel.
Bezel engagement rings come in various styles, from classic and understated to more elaborate and intricate designs. Our favorite semi-bezels range from super simple, like the Ambrose Solitaire, to the Hoyt Two Tone Engagement Ring, which blends two shades of metals and sets the center stone in a wrap-around shank. The Flawless Engagement Ring offers a semi-bezel center stone set east-west for a modern look.
Our lovely Lilac Stackable Engagement Ring offers a thin bezel halo totally surrounding a round, oval, radiant, or pear-cut lab-grown diamond. If you’re looking for security with gobs of ornamental appeal, our Kalina Vintage Engagement Ring is our most ornate bezel setting, hugging a Cushion Cut center stone in a milgrain bezel setting accented by a halo of Lab Grown Diamonds extending halfway around the band. So dreamy!

Trend 4: Embrace Vintage Nostalgia
It’s still Bridgerton’s world - we’re just living in it. Brides will love vintage engagement rings in 2024, and the most popular choices will be romantic, yet understated. You’ll see soft floral lines and sweet curves, but not the incredibly ornate designs that vintage is known for.
Our Matilda Halo is one of our loveliest vintage engagement rings, with a round cut center stone showcased within a unique floral halo of accenting Lab Grown Diamonds. Another incredible round cut is the Goddess Vintage Engagement Ring.
If you prefer oval cuts, the Amira Engagement Ring features a unique 6-prong style head and graduated lab-grown diamonds cascading down either side. The Zoe Halo Engagement Ring is another ring we love, with its beautiful halo of Lab Grown Diamonds and milgrain detail surrounding the Oval Cut center stone of your choice.

Trend 5: Colored Gemstones Will Light Up Your Life
Brides in 2024 will make major fashion statements with exciting colors, especially fancy colors like peach, yellow, or pink. MiaDonna offers bright and beautiful Lab-Grown Gemstones in many colors including Paraiba, Blue Spinel, Blue Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Alexandrite, Padparadscha, Champagne Sapphire, and Pink Champagne Sapphire.
A few of our favorite rings look so stunning with a gemstone, like the Flora Vintage Engagement Ring in Blue Sapphire. People ask us about our Eternal Monogram Engagement Ring in Champagne Sapphire all the time! The mystical blue-purple hue of Alexandrite wows in the Camilla Halo Engagement Ring. Rich, red Ruby looks perfectly decadent in our Paris Stackable Engagement Ring.

Trend 6: Diamond-Accented Bands Bring the Bling
Too many diamonds? No such thing. In 2024, shaped diamond accented bands will add glitz and glam to your wedding band, especially for brides who wear a striking solitaire engagement ring. An unexpected flourished shape for a wedding band adds a magical effect to an engagement ring - almost like it’s wearing a tiara! How royal, indeed.
A few of our favorite wedding rings come in a nice range of price and visual impact. The soft V-shape of the Penelope Diamond Wedding Band and the simple arch of the Cordelia Wedding Band offer delicate accents to your engagement ring.
The Piper Accented Wedding Band and Sonny Accented Wedding Band turn the party up a notch with larger diamonds. To make a huge statement, the Rosalina Accented Wedding Band and Monroe Accented Wedding Band both offer double bands to surround your engagement ring on both top and bottom.

Trend 7: Quiet Luxury Gets Loud
There’s a reason simple pieces stay in vogue over the years. Active brides who want an easy fit will favor plain, smooth, simple metal engagement rings and wedding bands in 2024. Our favorite simple way to make people say "WOW" comes with our cigar band — the Aspen Wedding Band, a wide 6mm band with a comfort fit flat surface. It gives plenty of presence to your engagement ring, and even acts as a decorative separator if you want to stack it with an eternity band, too.
The Dior Stackable Wedding Band and Blonde Wedding Band are popular rings for those who want an elegant, timeless choice. They perfectly complement the Dior Engagement Ring and Blonde Engagement Ring. When you buy your engagement ring and wedding band together at MiaDonna, you save 10% off the price of the wedding band!

Trend 8: Give Me All The Diamond Shapes
Adventurous brides will add personality to their wedding bands with different diamond cuts, like ovals, emeralds, baguettes, pears, and marquises. These pair perfectly with a classic solitaire (our #1 trend!) - see our favorite Solitaires and Eternity Band pairings.
Some of our favorite MiaDonna wedding bands in 2024 highlight a fancy shape. That's the beaming baguettes in Three Stone Baguette, elegant emerald cuts in Estate Lab-Grown Diamond Band, ornamental ovals in Villa Lab-Grown Diamond Band, and perfect pears in Cabana Lab-Grown Diamond Band.
If you have a hard time picking a favorite fancy shape, we sympathize. That’s why we’ve designed striking wedding bands that combine many fancy shapes for a truly unique look, like pears, emeralds, rounds and ovals in our Chateau Wedding Band, and marquise and round cuts in the Daze Accented Wedding Band or the Essence Accented Wedding Band.

Trend 9: Shopping Sustainably with MiaDonna's Lab-Grown Diamonds
More than anything, 2024 brides will focus on choosing an engagement ring that reflects their personal ethics, commitment to sustainability, and compassion for humanity.
MiaDonna’s work repairing diamond mining communities with our The Greener Diamond Foundation makes us the perfect fit for couples who want a conflict-free diamond. Gen Z couples are likely to choose ethically sourced engagement rings together to ensure they spend conscientiously.
Take care as you shop: not all lab-grown diamonds are created equal. Just because a company sells lab-grown diamonds, it doesn’t automatically mean they produce them in a sustainable way, and it certainly doesn’t mean they meet MiaDonna’s highest quality standards.
MiaDonna only sells Type II and Type IIa diamonds, which contain minimal nitrogen impurities and thus transmit light more effectively. In other words, they’re brighter, shinier, harder, and stronger than 98% of all diamonds — of any origin — on the planet. Only the best diamonds for our MiaDonnaHeroes!
Which engagement ring trend speaks to you in 2024? No matter what styles are in trend, ultimately, the choice is yours. The most fashionable statement you can make is the one that suits your unique, personal style, and reflects your ethical and environmental values.
