Top 5 Unique Engagement Ring Designs Loved by American Brides

Aug 10, 2025

By Jewelnests – Ethically Crafted Jewellery, Proudly Made in Canada

Engagement rings are more than just jewellery — they’re a symbol of love, personality, and commitment. And in today’s world, American brides are redefining tradition by choosing unique engagement ring designs that reflect their individuality and values.

At Jewelnests, we proudly serve clients across North America with handcrafted, ethical jewellery made right here in Canada. As demand for lab-grown diamonds and custom designs grows in the United States, we’ve noticed a clear trend: brides are looking for engagement rings that break the mould.

So, what’s capturing the hearts of American brides? Here are the top 5 unique engagement ring designs trending across the USA.


💍 1. East-West Set Stones

A classic style turned sideways, the East-West setting has become a favourite among modern brides. Instead of the traditional vertical orientation, the diamond is set horizontally, creating a bold, sleek, and unexpected look.

Why brides love it:

  • It’s contemporary but timeless
  • Works beautifully with oval, emerald, and marquise cuts
  • Offers a fresh twist on the solitaire without going over the top

At Jewelnests, we often pair East-West settings with lab-grown diamonds for an ethical take on this fashion-forward design.


💎 2. Hidden Halo Engagement Ring Settings

The hidden halo engagement ring is a subtle yet dazzling surprise. Rather than surrounding the top of the centre stone, this style hides a circle of small diamonds beneath the main stone — adding sparkle from the side view and depth to the overall look.

Why the Hidden Halo Engagement Ring is trending in the USA:

  • Enhances brilliance without overwhelming the centre stone
  • Perfect for minimalist brides who still want some extra shine
  • Looks incredible in engagement ring videos (hello, social media!)

A hidden halo ring is a popular choice for American brides who want a touch of luxury with a clean profile.


🌿 3. Nature-Inspired Engagement Ring Designs

With growing interest in sustainability and ethical sourcing, many brides are embracing nature-inspired motifs in their rings. Think delicate leaf shapes, floral settings, vine bands, or organic textures paired with lab-grown diamonds.

Why it resonates:

  • Connects with nature-loving, eco-conscious brides
  • Feels whimsical and romantic
  • Works beautifully with recycled metals and coloured gemstones

Our Canadian-made designs at Jewelnests often feature botanical elements — a perfect fit for brides seeking an earthy elegance.


💫 4. Geometric and Asymmetrical Rings

For brides who love a bit of edge and artistry, geometric shapes and asymmetrical layouts offer a modern alternative to traditional symmetry. From hexagon-shaped settings to offset side stones, this style screams bold individuality.

Popular among:

  • City brides in New York, L.A., Chicago, and Seattle
  • Architects, designers, and creatives
  • Anyone who wants an unconventional, high-impact look

Pairing a lab-grown diamond with a geometric setting sends a strong message: style and ethics can coexist beautifully.


💕 5. Two-Stone (Toi et Moi) Engagement Ring Rings

The Two-stone/Toi et Moi engagement ring (“you and me” in French) is a symbolic design featuring two stones — often in different shapes or sizes — representing the unique bond between two people. Once favoured by royals and celebrities, this romantic style has made a major comeback in the U.S.

Why American brides adore Two-Stone (Toi et Moi) Engagement Ring:

  • Deeply personal and symbolic
  • Allows creative pairings (diamond + coloured gem, or two lab-grown diamonds)
  • Great for custom designs

At Jewelnests, we love helping couples create one-of-a-kind Toi et Moi rings that tell their story using ethical materials and Canadian craftsmanship.
