Three Diamond Jewellery Trends To Take Your Collection To A New Level
We love to see the breathtaking trends the diamond world is loving right now, and as our Beaverbrooks diamond experts have recently attended the world’s biggest jewellery trade show, JCK, we’re bringing you the insights, top three trends, and some of the beautiful styles that we can’t get enough of, straight from Las Vegas. We can’t wait for you to see these diamond trends and discover fancy cut diamonds, diamonds in yellow gold, and stunning gemstones, as well as our top picks to get the looks for yourself.
Synonymous with eternity, all of our diamond rings and jewellery are crafted to love for a lifetime. We love any opportunity to celebrate our favourite gemstone, and with these trends making their way into the jewellery boxes of diamond lovers everywhere right now, we can’t wait for you to meet the designs we’re loving – now and always. Get to know Adelle Thompson, Head of Buying and Merchandising, and Lorna Haddon, Head of Jewellery & Diamonds, our fabulous diamond experts putting the spotlight on the three trends you should definitely know about.
Fancy cut diamonds
Fancy diamonds are a cut above the rest right now. Say hello to extravagant diamond shapes, and discover oval-shaped diamonds, pear-shaped diamonds, and more to capture this trend. Diamond cuts and shapes are often confused, but the cut of a diamond is what determines its sparkle and how it reflects the light with symmetry, proportions, and facets. A diamond shape only refers to the appearance of a diamond, its geometric shape and its silhouette. A fancy cut diamond refers to any diamond that does not have a round brilliant cut. Discover more in our Diamond Buying Guide: Diamond Cuts and Shapes.
“On-trend but always a classic, fancy diamonds are making their mark on the jewellery world now and always. We’ve been seeing jewellery with mixed cut stones remain a trend for a while now, and this bold style is one we adore. Fancy diamonds also make truly beautiful rings, from the vintage emerald to the contemporary oval. It’s great that fancy diamonds are still having their moment at JCK and beyond, although we know they always are!” – Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery.
Oval-shaped diamonds
Oval-shaped diamonds are a twist on a round brilliant cut, modified for an elongated effect that gives the appearance of a bigger stone. With a unique bow-tie formation, oval-shaped diamonds have a brilliant sparkle, and can be complemented by halo and cluster designs. Known for their elegance and versatility, they’re perfect if you’re looking for diamonds with a contemporary style.
For truly stunning oval cut diamond rings, our selection of Royal Asscher pieces showcase beautiful oval-shaped diamonds in a variety of styles and designs. Choose between this Royal Asscher Yasmin Platinum Diamond Royal Asscher Oval Cut Halo Ring in a diamond-set polished platinum band and halo design for lots of sparkle.
This Royal Asscher Charlotte Platinum Diamond Oval Cut Solitaire Ring has a stunning oval-shaped diamond in a solitaire design, for simplistic, refined elegance. It’s truly timeless.
Pear-shaped diamonds
Pear-shaped diamonds feature a curved edge with a point, almost as if a marquise-shaped diamond was combined with an oval-shaped diamond. Pear cuts have always looked stunning in engagement rings and diamond jewellery, and they’re a truly unique cut if you’re looking for something a little different. With a bold silhouette, we also love pear cuts when they’re matched with other diamond shapes.
From our exclusive Starlit by Beaverbrooks diamond collection, this Starlit Platinum Diamond Pear Cut Ring showcases a central pear-shaped diamond upon a diamond-set polished platinum band. With an array of diamonds radiating together in a unique shared setting, the illusion of a scalloped edge upon the band complements the pear shape beautifully.
Emerald cut diamonds
An elongated shape that’s truly radiant, we can’t wait to see more emerald cut diamonds as it emerges as a current trend! An emerald cut diamond is crafted with a step cut, which means long facets highlight the stone’s clarity, for the appearance of a brighter, longer stone. We love emerald cut diamonds for their vintage glamour. Emerald cut engagement rings are a forever classic.
From our exclusive Once by Beaverbrooks diamond collection, this Once Platinum Diamond Solitaire Ring is a stunning emerald cut engagement ring, sculpted in polished platinum to complement the brilliant shine the emerald cut stone radiates.
If you’re looking to add a little colour whilst taking on the emerald cut diamond trend, this Platinum Diamond Emerald Halo Ring showcases emerald-cut diamonds sparkling next to a rich emerald stone. Wear this piece as an emerald engagement ring or cocktail ring for a lustrous shine for eternity.
2. Diamonds radiating in yellow gold
Is there anything as radiant as yellow gold? Synonymous with luxury, we love yellow gold for its durability, its lustrous shine and its longevity, but most of all, we love yellow gold when it’s set with diamonds. The perfect backdrop if you’re looking to contrast the sparkle of your diamonds with a warm tone for a striking look, choose between 9ct and 18ct yellow gold for jewellery to treasure. As the ‘quiet luxury’ look took over our feeds last year, it’s really no surprise that yellow gold diamond jewellery is trending. It’s the epitome of timeless elegance to glow in.
“Yellow gold diamond jewellery is effortlessly stylish and timelessly sophisticated, and is the perfect combination of two luxurious and precious materials that will never go out of style. Taking what we love about diamonds – the flurries of bright white and flashes of fire – and combining them with what we love about yellow gold – its radiance and warm hues – results in jewellery that exudes classic glamour. Seeing these beautiful pieces at JCK is exciting! They’re an iconic combination which will stand the test of time.” – Adelle, Head of Buying and Merchandising.
Gold diamond bangles
Bangles are a big jewellery trend, so naturally, yellow gold diamond bangles have become a must-have for everyone’s jewellery box in 2024 (and always). Right now, we’re taking the yellow gold diamond jewellery trend into our chunky bangles and pieces to stack, for the ultimate on-trend styling.

3. Diamonds with colourful gemstones
We know that diamonds and gemstones are a pair like no other. When the lustrous hues of precious stones such as aquamarine, emerald, and sapphire are paired with striking white diamonds, it truly is a glow like no other. This trend is one to be a part of now, and forever, as precious gemstones are eternal, and their vibrant hues will never dull.
“Gemstone jewellery has been a symbol of luxury, royalty and elegance for centuries. The rarity and beauty of coloured gemstones such as the ruby, sapphire and aquamarine are beautiful not only in diamond jewellery pieces, but also in engagement rings, too. Each gemstone has its own properties, meanings and uses, so gemstone jewellery is never just a trend, it’s something that has been desired since people began wearing them. We’re seeing these precious pieces more and more at JCK and in the wider jewellery industry, and we couldn’t be happier about it.” – Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery.
Gemstone cocktail rings
Cocktail rings first became popular in the 1920s, when illegal cocktail parties would take place and this dramatic jewellery piece was a symbol of luxury. Proving that the jewellery world will never tire of the vintage glamour and alluring style of diamond cocktail rings, they’re the it-girl of gemstone styling right now, and we’re so ready for them to have their moment again (although they always do). From emerald cocktail rings to aquamarine cocktail rings, we’re here for them all.
