Rare Carat’s live Top 20 Most Popular Engagement Rings page has become a barometer for what’s hot right now—surfacing enduring silhouettes (solitaires, halos) alongside modern twists (hidden halos, vintage‑inspired details). Expect clean lines, slender bands, and cut‑first diamond picks—reinforced by the platform’s Rare Carat Ideal filter and free human gemologist checks. (Rare Carat)
What’s trending (and why buyers choose them)
Solitaires stay #1—but with slimmer, comfort‑fit shanks. The Aurora and Leah four‑prong solitaires appear throughout the Top 20; a minimalist frame puts the center stone first, while slim 1.7–2.0 mm bands add everyday wearability. (Rare Carat)
Hidden halos surge. Designs like the Charlotte Hidden Halo give side‑view sparkle and “face‑up” presence without changing the solitaire look from the top—aligning with national trend data showing hidden halos breaking into the top two settings in 2024. (Rare Carat)
Vintage & pavé accents for texture. Twisted pavé (Emily), classic halos (Grace) and marquise motifs (Betty) round out Rare Carat’s live popularity board—choices that photograph beautifully and stack well with curved bands. (Rare Carat)

"I ordered a lab created 2.5 carat Asscher cut diamond in a platinum setting with tapered diamonds on either side. I’m delighted with the ring, which has exactly the Art Deco feel I was hoping for. The customer service rep at Rare Carat was very patient and helpful and the ring arrived at the promised date. I chose a lab diamond for both environmental and budget reasons. It took only one look to see it was exactly what I hoped for, but it was important to me to know that I could return the ring if that had been my choice. The platinum setting was very well made, with a nice substantial feel too and a low profile that makes it wearable on a daily basis. I have no idea in which direction lab-diamond prices will go, but I never planned on acquiring an “investment”. Instead I am wearing this ring with pleasure as the lovely piece of wearable art that it is."
"If you are thinking about purchasing a lab grown diamond this comment is for you. The cut, quality, and price cannot be beat. Thrilled with the outcome and will definitely purchase all future diamonds from this site."
