ENGAGEMENT RING TRENDS FOR THE 2026 BRIDE
From bold solitaires to delicate vintage-inspired details, the 2026 bride is embracing rings that are as unique as her love story. Think modern classics with thoughtful personalisation, unexpected stone shapes, and design-forward twists that balance timeless elegance with contemporary flair. Whether she’s drawn to subtle sophistication or a statement piece, this year’s trends celebrate individuality, devotion, and the beauty of lifelong commitment. 1. Sculptural Simplicity & Organic DesignMinimalism continues to evolve in 2026, taking on softer, more fluid forms. Sculptural designs with gentle curves and organic lines evoke a natural elegance – refined yet full of character. Brides are drawn to pieces that feel effortless and enduring, with silhouettes that capture quiet strength and a modern sense of romance. These designs pair beautifully with complementary wedding bands, inviting a lifetime of evolving stacks and stories. 2. Bold Settings with PersonalityThe classic solitaire remains timeless, but in 2026 it’s all about individuality. Think unique settings, elongated ovals, radiant cuts, or sculptural bezel designs that let the stone shine in its purest form. Toi et Moi rings, featuring two stones side by side, are also having a moment, symbolising the union of two souls and the balance between individuality and togetherness. The modern solitaire is about balance: bold enough to make a statement, yet refined enough to feel effortlessly elegant. 3. Vintage-Inspired DetailsThis year’s brides are rediscovering the magic of nostalgia through vintage-inspired designs. Delicate Trilogy designs, hand-engraved textures, and star-set diamonds bring a sense of timeless romance to modern craftsmanship. These rings honour the past while embracing the present – a fusion of artisanal detail and contemporary simplicity. Each handcrafted touch tells a story of care, patience, and enduring love. 4. Coloured Stones with MeaningMore than ever, brides are choosing stones that speak to their personal stories. From deep blue sapphires symbolising loyalty to champagne diamonds radiating warmth and individuality, coloured stones offer a heartfelt alternative to the traditional diamond. Whether subtle or bold, each hue becomes a reflection of love, emotion, and identity. 5. Personalisation that Tells a StoryIn 2026, engagement rings are becoming deeply personal expressions of love. Couples are personalising everything from stone shape and size to metal colour, engraving, and setting style. These thoughtful details: a hidden message, a meaningful birthstone, or a design inspired by shared memories, transform each piece into something truly one-of-a-kind. It’s more than personalisation; it’s storytelling in gold. A New Era of Meaningful DesignThe 2026 engagement ring is more than a symbol of commitment; it’s a reflection of personality, artistry, and connection. Your love story is yours to tell, and beyond trends, what matters most is that your ring feels deeply personal. A cherished and true reflection of you and your union.

THE DESIGN DIARIES: LOVE, ALWAYS
Step inside the world of Love, Always – our modern collection of engagement rings and wedding bands crafted to celebrate love in its purest form. From sketches and design inspiration to your final polished piece, this is a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring each ring to life. “We wanted to design a collection that was every bit timeless in design but with room for the modern bride to personalise to her own taste and story. To us, engagement and wedding rings are more than jewellery; within them lies the meaning and symbolism of a love story. Our mission has, and always will be, to translate this through jewellery.” — Mary, Creative Director Design That Tells Your Story Every ring in the Love, Always collection begins with intention. Our designs are slow-made, allowing time for reflection, refinement, and meticulous attention to detail. Our process begins at the drawing board, where sketches transform ideas into tangible forms. Inspiration is drawn from the natural world, architectural lines, and the timeless elegance of classic jewellery, all filtered through a lens of personal meaning and enduring style. Each ring is designed not only to be beautiful, but to honour milestones, mark promises, and reflect the individuality of the couple it represents. We welcome personalisation through the choice of Natural Diamonds, Laboratory Diamonds and coloured stones, as well as adding RUUSK's signature band engraving. Slow-Made, Thoughtfully Crafted Once the design is finalised, each piece is crafted with care by skilled local artisans in Sydney, honouring traditional craftsmanship and artisanal techniques. Every curve is shaped, every stone set, and every surface polished with care. The slow-made process ensures precision and a depth of quality that cannot be rushed. The result is piece that embodies both contemporary sophistication and heirloom-worthy durability. At its heart, Love, Always is about connection. Each ring is more than a piece of jewellery; it’s a symbol of your story, an expression of your devotion, and a celebration of the journey you share. By blending modern design with thoughtful, intentional craftsmanship, we create rings that are as unique as the love they represent. Every detail is considered, every curve intentional, every stone set with purpose. Explore The Love, Always Collection

RUUSK COUPLE: RILEY + TAYLA
Some love stories are written in the stars, and others are sparked by chance – or in Riley and Tayla’s case, by a mother’s introduction in a small coastal town during Covid. What began with beach dinners and backyard fires quickly grew into something lasting, built on kindness, laughter, and shared values. From a magical proposal in Canada to the joy of building a future together, their story is one of adventure, deep connection, and a love that feels like home. Today, we’re so honoured to share a glimpse into their journey. Tell us the story of your first connection. How did your paths cross, and what made you take notice of each other? It was a bit of a Covid love story. I moved to a small coastal town to get out of the city and be close to my parents. Tayla was already living there. And funnily enough my mum actually introduced us. We met briefly at an event in town and I thought damn I want to date this girl. And of course it didn’t happen straight away we went a while before seeing each other again then met out one night and just clicked. Then spent the next few months falling in love over dinners on the beach and fires in the back yard. If you had to describe each other in just three words, what would they be, and why? Riley is... Vibrant - Tayla is always up to something, she’s full of life. Definitely gets the most out of every moment. Always keen for an adventure. It’s almost hard to keep up sometimes. Compassionate - Tayla is the most warm hearted person I've ever met. She will do anything for the people in her life and anyone else for that matter. Genuine - You can say anything around Tayla and she won't judge. She's honest to a fault even if sometimes you wish she wasn't. Just a warm and inviting person. Tayla is... Mindful - Riley is always enjoying life in any way possible, he is always fully present and appreciative of every moment. Often saying ’how good is life’. Passionate - I’ve never met someone who loves their job as much as Riley. He is passionate about his career but always giving all of his love to his family and friends. Not to mention his love for food. Giving - no matter the price or effort Riley is willing to help anyone, he’s never one to say no to giving a helping hand. He gives through kindness, love, time and energy. What's something about your partner that most people don't know, but you absolutely love? Riley: She’s a bit of a goof which is something I love about her. Loves to say the wrong thing at the wrong time with completely different intentions to what she meant. Tries to high kick in a long tight dress and ends up on her back. You know those type of things. Tayla: I love that Riley is a cook good, he loves his food as do I and loves cooking us up a feast! Can you share the moment you realised this was your person - that this was something lasting and real? Riley: Honestly I knew she was someone special from the moment I met her. There was just something about her that made me want to get to know her more. There were butterflies straight away. But I think after a couple months we were sitting around a fire in a back yard for hours just talking and I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this girl. Tayla: After getting to know Riley’s parents, and finally getting introduced, many beach dates and fire pit chats later. We moved in together after a short period of time it all just made sense, we had so much in common, family values, what we wanted out of life and of course the love we shared for each other. We'd love to hear about the proposal! We'd love to hear more of what made this moment magical for you. Canada has always been special to us, and since it’s also my home country, it felt like the perfect place to propose. I had the ring hidden nervously in my pocket. Not even in a box. We headed off on a little hike to a cliff overlooking the ocean. She wasn’t exactly sold on the idea of walking down the cliff and even started heading back up the hill, until I called her back, got down on one knee, and asked her to marry me. Not easily I might add cause I was a blubbery mess haha. Through happy tears from both of us, she said yes! We spent the rest of the weekend in Whistler celebrating the most amazing day excited about everything to come. As you look ahead to your wedding day and beyond, what are you most excited to experience or build together? We’ve already made a beautiful life together. We have amazing family and friends surrounding us. We’ve had endless adventures. I can only hope the future has more of the same. We’re just excited to keep growing together what ever the future has in store for us. SHOP: Tayla's 1ct Diamond Solitaire
