As the industry explores the endless opportunities in bridal jewelry, having a carefully selected and on-trend collection this fall is essential — that’s where Stuller stands out as your perfect bridal partner. According to the 2024 Global Wedding Report from The Knot, December is overwhelmingly the most popular month to propose worldwide. Statistics show the majority of couples thinking of tying the knot will get engaged during the wintertime.
Every couple deserves to find that unique bridal set to symbolize their distinct personalities and one-of-a-kind love story. For jewelers, now is the perfect time to align with the evolving tastes of modern brides.
With Stuller’s new fall bridal brochure, Love Everlasting, you’ll discover styles that are sure to please any bride or groom. Take a closer look at the top bridal jewelry trends — from spectacular lab-grown diamond center stones to retro inspirations and unique ring designs — that will define this fall’s bridal scene.
1. Large Lab-Grown Diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds continue their popularity in the bridal jewelry landscape, offering beauty and accessibility without sacrificing luxury. This season, larger lab-grown diamonds are in the spotlight. Bold, multi-stone looks, heavily accented shanks, fancy centers or side stone shapes, and higher carat weights are all trending. Brides are eager to make grand statements with expansive, yet affordable stones that offer the same brilliance as their mined counterparts.
2. Retro Revival
Step back in time with retro-inspired styles that pay homage to the Big 80s. Think of the bold influence of the decade when bigger meant better in terms of fashion, hair, and jewelry — chunky settings, more metal, and center stones with higher carat weights. These retro-inspired styles add a unique touch of personality and flair for the modern bride.
3. Cigar Bands
Cigar bands are making waves in the bridal world with their bold, chunky composition that demands attention. These rings, often kept simple with minimal embellishments, are perfect for brides who favor a minimalist yet robust look. They can be worn alone as a statement or paired with engagement rings to highlight a dazzling center stone. Not only is the complimentary band getting wider but also the shank on the engagement ring is getting a bolder, metal-heavy design.
4. Double-Row Accented Anniversary Bands
The trend of double-row accented anniversary bands is gaining traction, offering a luxurious way to mark significant relationship milestones. Brides are choosing these versatile, eye-catching bands to complement a solitaire engagement ring or as part of a stacked look. Think layered elegance with double rows of natural or lab-grown diamond accents.
5. Two-Tone Engagement Rings & Wedding Bands
Two-tone engagement rings and wedding bands appeal to those who appreciate the harmony of mixed metals. With two-tone engagement rings, we’re primarily seeing white gold heads and yellow shanks or platinum heads with yellow shanks. This is to better illuminate the clear white color of the larger center stone while still achieving the yellow gold look. For the groom, two-tone inlay wedding bands demonstrate adaptability in both traditional and modern aesthetics.
6. Hidden Halo Engagement Rings
Experience the mesmerizing allure of hidden halo engagement rings, where a dazzling circle of brilliance embraces the center stone. Nestled discreetly under prong tips, this exquisite feature offers captivating angles that unleash the full sparkle of each precious stone. Choose from an array of bestsellers and the latest trends, all crafted to deliver an undeniable wow factor. Ideal for brides who crave subtle elegance with an extra touch of radiance, hidden halo-style engagement rings promise to shine brightly.
A Cherished Destination
The bridal trends of fall 2024 make an exciting landscape for jewelers to explore. By incorporating these distinct trends — larger lab-grown diamonds, retro revival designs, bold cigar bands, luxurious double-row anniversary bands, harmonious two-tone rings, and hidden halos — you can craft a collection that resonates with the diverse desires of today’s brides. Embrace these trends to not only elevate your offerings but to become a cherished destination where couples find the jewelry of their dreams.
