Top 10 Most Popular Engagement Ring Designs in Singapore

Singapore occupies a uniquely cosmopolitan position in the global jewellery market. It is a vibrant intersection where Western romance meets Asian cultural values, all while embracing a modern appetite for expressive design-forward pieces. In this landscape, the journey to find the perfect ringis about finding a reflection of a shared life, and love.

 Over our years of crafting engagement ring designs we’ve noted the designs that seem to speak most to our growing community especially here in Singapore. This guide offers a curated look at the most sought-after engagement ring styles. 

Several factors influence why some engagement ring designs are more favoured. In Singapore, many are traditionally drawn to solitaire silhouettes, especially with a round brilliant diamond or coloured gemstone, because this is one of the most classic, and timeless styles in the jewellery world.

However, the desire for unique engagement rings, or even, something truly one of a kind, is steadily increasing. With almost unlimited resources for researching something as precious as an engagement ring, the knowledge of customisation and bespoke possibilities has brought on an exciting wave of inspiration for both clients and jewellers alike. 

This design features a single diamond on a simple, elegant band. Its enduring appeal lies in its mathematical precision; the round cut is engineered for the diamond’s maximum scintillation and fire. A perfectly executed solitaire is the ultimate test of a master craftsman's skill. This silhouette has been a steadfast favourite for decades, making it a timeless choice. 

There has been a remarkable surge in the popularity of the oval engagement ring in recent years Prized for its ability to elongate the finger, the oval cut also offers a larger surface area and may even appear bigger, as compared to a round cut of the same carat weight. 

The emerald cut engagement ring is celebrated for its sophisticated "step-cut" faceting. Unlike the sparkle of a brilliant cut, the emerald cut produces a "hall-of-mirrors" effect, emphasising the clarity and natural purity of the stone. It is the premier choice for the design-savvy woman who appreciates clean, architectural lines. This design also has strong Art Deco associations, making it a natural fit for those drawn to B.P. de Silva's signature aesthetic. 

The halo setting remains a favourite in Singapore for its high visual impact. By encircling the centre stone with a border of smaller pavé-set diamonds, the ring's overall brilliance and perceived size are amplified. Halos also add a playful touch, and allows its wearer’s personality to shine through.

A three-stone engagement ring may symbolise a couple's past, present, and future. This design resonates deeply with the most sentimental of sweethearts. Through B.P. 's customisation service, the type of gemstones that complete the overall trilogy design is a thoughtful choice thoroughly explored between our specialists, and our clients. 

This unique form offers something both dramatic and fresh. Like the oval, it has a wonderful elongating effect on the hand. This design is best suited for the bold bride who wants a ring that stands out and shines alongside her for a lifetime. 

A French term meaning "you and me," the Toi et Moi ring features two distinct stones set side by side. This design represents two souls coming together in a singular bond. Following our Duet Collection launch, this collection has met with such love and demand, especially for those seeking unique engagement rings Singapore among those. A ring for the modern romantics with a discerning eye for detail.

With its soft, pillow-like shape and rounded corners, the cushion-cut engagement ring offers a bridge between the old world and the new. It possesses an old world appeal, as it is the contemporary version of more vintage cuts which exhibita warmer, more romantic glow.

For the ones who love conversation pieces, the bands with rows of pavé diamonds, like B.P.’s signature Plush™ Collection make for an idyllic choice. This setting style can be combined with almost any centre stone, adding an extra layer of luxury and brilliance to the overall design.
