Fall weddings are popular all over the world, and while the season does have a distinct aesthetic depending on where you are located, the only thing left to consider is to make sure to inject a lot of your own personal style into the wedding dress and bridal jewelry.

Of course, before any wedding is even planned, the one thing that needs to be sorted out is an engagement ring! Engagement ring trends don't tend to be seasonal but there is an almost endless list of engagement ring styles that suit the fall season in particular, so if you are somebody who wants to be precise in keeping with the times, then you will want to know what kinds of engagement ring setting and engagement ring colors are the most appropriate for this time of year.

Here is our list of some of the coolest and most popular engagement ring trends for a fall wedding. 

Vintage Style Ring Settings

Vintage-inspired engagement rings continue to be popular, drawing inspiration from different eras like Art Deco, Victorian, or Edwardian. These rings often feature intricate details, filigree work, and unique metal designs that evoke a sense of timeless elegance. Vintage-style rings can have a romantic and nostalgic appeal, making them a perfect choice for those who appreciate classic aesthetics.

East to West Settings

East to West settings involve placing the center stone horizontally across the band rather than the traditional north/south vertical orientation. This contemporary twist on classic engagement ring designs adds a modern and unique touch. This setting is particularly popular for elongated stones like emerald or radiant cuts, creating a bold and eye-catching look.

Asymmetrical Pieces

Asymmetry adds an element of uniqueness and individuality to engagement rings. Rings with asymmetrical designs often feature off-center stones, uneven bands, or unexpected details. This trend caters to those who seek a more avant-garde and personalized approach to their engagement ring, breaking away from traditional symmetrical designs.

Oval Cut Diamonds

Oval-cut diamonds are gaining prominence as a popular choice for engagement rings in the 2020s. The elongated shape of oval diamonds can create an illusion of longer fingers and offers a unique alternative to more traditional round or princess cuts. Their brilliance and versatility make them an excellent option for various ring styles, from vintage to modern.

Three Stone Engagement Rings

The symbolic representation of the past, present, and future makes three stone rings a timeless choice. This design typically features a larger center stone flanked by two smaller stones. The trio of diamonds or diamonds with other gemstones can hold personal significance and add a sense of grandeur to the overall look of the ring. From a purely aesthetic point of view, three stone rings always make more of an impact than two stone engagement rings!

Colorful Centre Stones

Sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and other vibrant gems offer a unique and personalized touch to engagement rings. Colored stones can also hold special meaning, making them a meaningful choice for couples seeking a more personalized ring.

Make sure that you select a colorful stone that is going to be in keeping with your choice of colored metal; they are very important as a pair. Colored engagement rings can be made with white gold, yellow gold, sterling silver, various other white metals and even mixed metals.

Fancy Shapes

Beyond traditional round and princess cuts, fancy-shaped diamonds such as pear, marquise, and heart are gaining popularity.

Whether you or your partner is set on emerald cut diamonds, round cut diamonds, oval cut engagement rings or any other kind of fancy shape vintage ring, the good news is that all of these various diamond shapes work well in a fall wedding setting!

Contoured Ring Sets
