5 Engagement Ring Trends Making Proposals A Lot More Interesting In 2027
An engagement ring is one of the most important pieces of jewellery you’ll ever gift (or wear). For something so tiny, it carries a lot of weight. It needs to last a lifetime, reflect your love story, and, of course, your personal style.
Oh, and it’s also one of those big-ticket purchases that, traditionally, someone else has been tasked with getting just right. These days, though, it’s pretty common for couples to workshop the design together, taking some of the guesswork out of finding The One. Wherever you fall in the bling-ring equation, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.
We’ve teamed up with the ring experts at KAVALRI to have a look at the upcoming engagement ring trends you’re about to see everywhere, and help you navigate picking a sparkler that truly shines.
The Australian jeweller specialises in beautifully crafted contemporary engagement and wedding rings, but they really shine in customisation. From sourcing a particular natural sapphire, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond to workshopping your setting, metal and finer design details, their in-house experts can create a completely bespoke ring around your story and budget.
They’re with you every step of the way, ensuring the process is exciting and enjoyable, with transparent pricing and private showroom appointments where you can take your time, ask questions, and get the expert guidance you need before locking in The One.
And in a lovely, feel-good touch, through its partnership with i=Change, KAVALRI gives back with every eligible purchase, supporting Indigenous communities, Australians experiencing hardship and children fighting cancer. Clients can also choose which cause their purchase helps support.
So, where are engagement ring trends heading in 2027? Couples are embracing so many new and exciting shapes and styles, choosing pieces far beyond the traditional diamond solitaire. Here are the engagement ring trends to watch in 2027.
Champagne Diamond Engagement Rings
If a classic white diamond isn’t your thing, champagne diamonds are a stunning alternative. With warm, sunny shades in natural beige and blush tones, plus moodier cognac hues, champagne diamonds have a gorgeous vintage vibe while still looking super modern.
Pair them with yellow gold for that kind of tonal old-world aesthetic, which is completely different from a standard solitaire.
The best thing about this engagement ring trend is that it isn’t limited to natural stones. KAVALRI works with both natural and lab-grown diamonds, so you can explore the colour, cut, carat, and price point that makes sense for you.
We love the Alyssa Pear Champagne Diamond Ring, featuring a 1.20-carat pear-shaped natural champagne diamond with delicate side stones.
If lab-grown is more your thing, the Noelle Champagne Old Mine 3ct Lab Grown Diamond Ring boasts a dazzling lab-grown diamond with a hidden halo—an elegant and eye-catching choice.
Sapphire Engagement Rings
From Princess Diana to Catherine, Princess of Wales, there’s a reason sapphire engagement rings have long been a favourite among royal women. Romantic and undeniably timeless, the precious gemstone has traditionally been synonymous with deep royal blue.
But in 2027, sapphires are stepping beyond their classic colourway, with softer, more unexpected hues bringing a cool, modern feel to the stone.
Think Australian Parti Sapphires mixing blue, green and yellow in a single stone: dramatic teal, soft cornflower blue and punchy green hues. Because each natural sapphire has its own variation in colour and character, they’re a great choice if you want something unique.
KAVALRI’s extensive sapphire engagement ring collection features stones sourced from Australia, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka, and its custom service can source a sapphire in your preferred colour, shape, size, and budget.
The Felicity Oval Ceylon Sapphire Engagement Ring is the ultimate mix of classic and cool, featuring a cornflower-blue oval Ceylon sapphire set in 14-carat yellow gold. A ring fit for a modern queen, in our humble opinion.
Old Mine Cut Diamond Engagement Rings
Antique pieces never go out of style, especially when it comes to diamonds.
Old mine cut diamonds get their name from the way they were cut before modern diamond-cutting technology existed. Popular throughout the 1700s and 1800s, they’re known for their softer shapes, chunkier facets and beautifully imperfect finish. Instead of the super-uniform sparkle of a modern diamond, they give off a warmer, more romantic, almost candlelit glow.
If your Pinterest board is overflowing with vintage rings, but you still want something that feels completely one-of-a-kind, an old mine cut could be your perfect match.
We’re swooning over the Blair 2.58ct Old Mine Cushion Champagne Brown Lab Grown Diamond Ring, which marries the best of old and new worlds with its old mine cushion-cut fancy brown lab-grown diamond with yellow gold and side stones.
Bezel Engagement Rings
For the modern minimalist, a bezel engagement ring is worth considering. With sleek, clean lines, a bezel ring has a fine border of precious metal that wraps around the diamond, giving it a sculptural, elevated silhouette and letting the centre stone take, well, centre stage.
KAVALRI has an entire collection of bezel engagement rings, including the Georgia Bezel Engagement Ring Setting, an elongated cushion design with a beautifully low-set profile.
It’s always worth finding out the metal your engagement ring is made from. KAVALRI uses premium materials and, in its white gold, uses palladium as the alloy instead of nickel to create a durable and refined finish made for long-term wear.
Asymmetrical And East-West Design Engagement Rings 
For couples who want to think outside the (engagement ring) box, the move toward asymmetry will be huge in 2027, from diamonds turned horizontally in an east-west direction to curved bands, off-centre stones, and unexpected combinations that make a ring feel more like a piece of contemporary jewellery—the quirkier, the better.
The East West Emerald Cut Bezel Engagement Ring Setting turns the traditional emerald-cut solitaire on its side and wraps it in a sculptural bezel setting.
Or, for something even more playful, the Dahlia Curved East West 2.01ct Lab Grown Engagement Ring sets a pear-shaped diamond sideways along a curved yellow-gold band.
Of course, trends are just that, and if none of the styles or ideas you had in mind feels quite right, this is where KAVALRI’s custom-design offering comes into its own. You can work with its designers to create something you’ll adore, and that's completely yours.
