If you're looking to pop the question in 2024, you'll want to keep up with the latest engagement ring trends. With the global jewelry industry valued at $298.40 billion as of 2023, according to Zippia, there are plenty of gorgeous diamond rings to choose from. Here are five of the most popular diamond ring styles you should know about for 2024.

1. Classic Solitaire

You can't go wrong with the timeless classic solitaire ring. This elegant style features a single diamond set on a band. The solitaire lets the diamond take center stage. You'll want to find the highest clarity and color grade diamond within your budget. Round and princess cut diamonds are most common for solitaire rings. The solitaire will always be in style and is perfect for traditional tastes.

2. Halo Settings

Halo engagement rings surround the center diamond with a circle of smaller diamonds to make the center stone appear larger. The halo of dazzling diamonds gives off tons of extra sparkle and brilliance. This two-in-one style is highly sought after right now. Halo settings work well with all diamond shapes, making this a versatile choice. From minimal halos to more elaborate double halos, there are many ways to customize this look.

3. Three-Stone Rings

Representing your past, present, and future together, three-stone diamond rings are rich with meaning. Typically, the center diamond is larger than the two side stones. The trillion cut is a popular contemporary shape for the side diamonds. You can also play around with mixed shapes. Three-stone settings work with round, princess, cushion, emerald, and Asscher cuts for the center diamond. The symbolism and balance of this trilogy style ensure it's always desired.

4. Colored Gemstones

For something different, mix fancy-colored gemstones into diamond rings, like rubies, sapphires, or emeralds. Accenting the diamonds with your birthstone makes for a ring bursting with personal significance. These pops of color complement the sparkling diamonds. Alternating patterns like emerald-diamond-emerald or sapphire-diamond-sapphire are stylish right now. Or, opt for a colored gemstone center stone with a diamond halo or accents.

5. Vintage Inspiration

We've also seen that vintage-inspired engagement rings are gaining popularity. This includes art deco style rings featuring filigree, intricate detailing, engraving, geometric shapes, and baguette diamonds. Rings taking cues from Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian eras also fit with the vintage trend. These historical designs often use rose gold and incorporate diamond accents like crescent moons, stars, and flowers.
