8 Engagement Ring Trends Lancaster Couples Are Loving in 2025

If you're planning to propose this year—or hoping someone else is—you’ve picked a great time to dive into engagement ring shopping. The engagement ring trends of 2025 are full of personal details, eye-catching shapes, and styles that balance timeless elegance with modern flair.

At Koser Jewelers, we’ve helped generations of Lancaster couples find the perfect ring, and this year’s styles are some of the most exciting we’ve seen yet. From sleek new settings to a renewed love for yellow gold, here’s what’s trending in Lancaster engagement rings right now.

1. Oval-Cut Diamonds Continue to Rise in Popularity

We’ve seen a big uptick in couples choosing oval-cut diamonds, and it’s easy to see why. The elongated shape flatters nearly every hand, and its brilliant faceting gives off tons of sparkle. It’s a modern alternative to the traditional round diamond that still feels classic and elegant. Lancaster brides love how this shape stands out without being too bold—and how beautifully it pairs with both solitaire and halo settings. We expect to see ovals remain one of the top choices in 2025.

2. Yellow Gold Settings Make a Stylish Comeback

There’s something about the warmth of yellow gold that feels romantic and nostalgic, and it's making a major comeback in 2025. While white gold and platinum are still popular choices, many Lancaster couples are now opting for yellow gold for its vintage appeal and rich tone. It also looks incredible with warmer diamond colors and vintage-style designs. Whether in a sleek solitaire or a detailed, engraved band, yellow gold brings a soft, golden glow that feels both fresh and timeless.

3. Hidden Halos and Peekaboo Sparkle

Today’s rings are full of thoughtful design details—and hidden halos are a favorite for brides who love subtle sparkle. These small diamond accents sit just beneath the center stone, so they catch the light from unexpected angles. Some rings also feature tiny diamonds on the gallery or bridge of the setting, which add elegance without overwhelming the design. Lancaster couples love that these hidden details make their ring feel extra special—like a little secret between the two of you.

4. East-West Settings Offer a Modern Twist

One of our favorite twists on tradition? The east-west setting, which turns certain diamond shapes (like emerald, marquise, or oval) sideways on the band. This fresh layout feels sleek, minimal, and a little bit edgy—perfect for someone who wants a ring that doesn’t look like everyone else’s. More brides are embracing this trend in Lancaster, especially those who want their engagement ring to feel both timeless and just a little unexpected.

5. Vintage-Inspired Rings with Bold Details

Vintage never goes out of style—it just gets reinvented. In 2025, we’re seeing a rise in vintage-inspired engagement rings with bold, eye-catching features. Think intricate filigree, milgrain edges, art deco patterns, and floral motifs. These rings often have a slightly heavier look, which makes them feel substantial and unique. Many couples in Lancaster are choosing designs that echo family heirlooms or reflect their love of history and craftsmanship.

6. Mixed Metals for a Versatile Look

If you wear both silver and gold jewelry—or just want something a little different—mixed-metal rings are the way to go. Combining white gold or platinum with yellow or rose gold creates beautiful contrast and adds depth to your ring design. Plus, it gives you the freedom to pair your engagement ring with all kinds of other jewelry. We’re seeing Lancaster couples embrace this trend as a way to add personality and practicality to their ring.

7. Elongated Cushion Cuts Make a Statement

The traditional cushion cut is getting a 2025 makeover with a longer, more rectangular shape. These elongated cushion cuts blend the soft curves of a cushion with the finger-lengthening effect of an oval or emerald shape. They offer tons of brilliance while feeling just a bit more unique than a standard round or square diamond. Lancaster brides are drawn to this cut for its romantic, slightly vintage feel—and how beautifully it sparkles in the light.

8. Personalized Details That Tell Your Story

Engagement rings are becoming more meaningful than ever, and in 2025, we’re seeing couples choose personalized design elements to make their rings one-of-a-kind. From hidden birthstones to engraved messages inside the band, these thoughtful touches make the ring even more special. Many Lancaster couples are incorporating family diamonds or combining design influences from both partners. Your ring should feel like you—and we love helping couples create pieces that are as unique as their love story.
