While a diamond solitaire ring is an eternal classic, next year many of our experts are predicting we'll see this style with a contemporary update.
Shahla Karimi explained, "Solitaires with a twist are going to be big in 2020. A brilliant or oval stone set in a nontraditional way have been gaining popularity, and we are seeing more requests for these unique settings right now more than ever."
Jeweller Valérie Messika of Messika added, "For 2020, custom-made engagement rings will continue to be a big trend. I find myself always going back to making classic solitaires with my own contemporary twist—something I foresee will continue in 2020.”
Michelle Oh agrees, stating customers are "looking for new ways to reinvent classics." For example, "rings that on first glance look like the traditional solitaire but when you look closer reveal little details, whether in the setting or the shape of the band itself, which gives a classic silhouette a modern edge."
