Similar to the fashion cycle, trends come and go for jewelry too, specifically engagement rings. From pavé diamond bands, to solitaire halo bands, sculptural shapes, and vintage inspired, natural diamond engagement rings are always changing. Although natural diamond jewelry is timeless, for 2023, we can expect to see more gypsy sets, mixed metals, unique diamond cuts, and intricate clusters. Here are 5 engagement ring designers to have on your radar in 2023:
Ashley Zhang
Ashley Zhang’s jewelry are modern heirlooms. Offering unique customizations, her traditional engagement rings have a special twist to them, making sure it matches the personality of the relationship as well as the ring owner.
ELLE.com’s Beauty and Commerce Writer, Tatjana Freund, got engaged this past fall with not one, but two incredible rings. “I initially found Ashley on Instagram because of her vintage jewelry collection,” Tatjana told OND. “I saw Ashley posted a stunning vintage emerald and diamond ring on Instagram and we immediately knew it was the one.”
Tatjana’s fiancé Willem is an architect and a designer, so he took matters into his own hands (without her knowing). “He got back in contact with Ashley and asked her to create an additional custom diamond ring that would fit around the contours of the vintage emerald ring he had already bought.” She added, “They went back and forth with the smallest details. I couldn’t be happier or more surprised with the final result!”
Tatjana said, “One of the reasons I love Ashley Zhang jewelry is that all the diamonds she uses for her custom or ready-to-buy pieces are made with recycled or antique natural diamonds.” She added, “And her kindness and skills. She is so accommodating and so knowledgeable.”
