The Top 3 Most Searched Engagement Rings of 2024 at Croft & Stern and What is Trending for 2025
At Croft & Stern, we know that choosing the perfect engagement ring is about more than just finding a beautiful piece of jewelry—it’s about finding something that reflects your unique love story. In 2024, the three most sought-after engagement rings in our collection—Cherish, Sage, and Hazel—have captured the hearts of many brides-to-be. What makes these rings so special is their versatility, customization options, and the ability to make each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
1. Cherish: A Timeless Classic with Endless Possibilities
The Cherish engagement ring is a stunning design that combines traditional elegance with modern craftsmanship. Featuring an oval diamond at its center, this ring is a timeless favorite, designed to sparkle from every angle. However, it’s not just the design that makes Cherish so appealing—it’s the ability to customize every aspect of the ring.
At Croft & Stern, we offer the option to modify Cherish. Some of our past modifications have included changing the center stone to a different diamond shape or customizing the band, choosing from different metal colors, such as yellow, rose, or white gold, platinum, or even a mix of metals for a personalized touch.
The Cherish ring may be set with lab-grown or earth-mined diamond, perhaps even a colored gem, depending on your preference. We pride ourselves on curating each engagement ring specifically to each guest’s needs, and our expert diamond buyers can source the perfect diamond to match your vision. Most rings take 4-6 weeks to create, as each one is crafted with precision in our Croft & Stern studio.
For those who are unsure about the exact design, Cherish is a perfect starting point for brainstorming ideas and making your dream ring a reality. Want to start the journey toward your custom engagement ring? Schedule an appointment here.
2. Sage: An Engagement Ring That Complements Your Style
While engagement rings often take the spotlight, the wedding band is just as important. The Sage ring set is a beautiful choice for couples who want a complete look where the wedding band pairs perfectly with their engagement ring. This set includes a tracer style wedding band that’s designed to sit flush with your engagement ring, creating a seamless and sophisticated look.
What sets the Sage apart is its flexibility. You can choose to customize the ring by selecting a different primary diamond shape, adjusting the number of diamonds, or even altering the band’s width or metal type. Whether you want something sleek and simple or bold and full of sparkle, the Sage set can be tailored to match your exact preferences.
Like the Cherish ring, Sage can be made with either lab-grown or earth-mined diamonds, and the center gem is sold separately. Our team of diamond experts will work with you to source the perfect gem, ensuring that every detail is carefully considered.
3. Hazel: Bold and Unique
The Hazel engagement ring is for those who want a standout design with a modern edge. Featuring a stunning round brilliant cut diamond, Hazel is elegant yet on trend, with clean lines and a sleek, minimalistic setting. This ring offers a unique style that draws attention while remaining classic enough to stand the test of time.
As with the Cherish and Sage rings, Hazel can be customized to suit your personal style. Whether you prefer a different diamond shape, additional accent diamonds, or a change to the band or metal color, we can modify every element to create a ring that’s uniquely yours. At Croft & Stern, we believe that every engagement ring should be as individual as the person wearing it, which is why we offer the ability to adjust any of our designs.
For Hazel, you can choose between lab-grown or earth-mined diamonds, and the center diamond is selected separately. Our diamond experts work closely with clients to ensure that the stone is exactly what they’re looking for, providing a curated, personalized experience. Once the design is finalized, we handcraft each ring in our studio, ensuring top-notch quality and attention to detail.

Forecasting 2025 Bridal Trends: What’s Next?
Looking ahead to 2025, bridal trends are expected to take a more personalized turn, with customization and individuality playing a larger role. Here are a few trends we anticipate seeing more of:
Colored Gemstones: While diamonds will always hold a place in bridal jewelry, we’re seeing an increasing interest in colored gemstones. Sapphires, emeralds, and even spinel are becoming popular choices for engagement rings. These stones offer a personal touch, whether in a vintage-style halo or a modern solitaire setting.
Alternative Diamond Cuts: As more people seek unique and distinctive designs, alternative diamond cuts like pear, marquise, and oval are becoming more mainstream. These shapes provide a fresh perspective on classic styles and often make the center stone appear larger, while offering a unique silhouette..
Bold and Architectural Designs: Much like the "Hazel" ring, bold, geometric designs will continue to be popular in 2025. Expect to see more rings with clean lines, angular settings, and intricate, yet minimalistic, band designs that exude a modern sensibility.
Mixed Metals: The use of mixed metals, such as pairing rose gold with platinum or yellow gold with white gold, is gaining popularity. This trend allows couples to create a ring that’s unique to their style while maintaining a high level of sophistication.
