Picking an engagement ring should be simple, right? But it never is.
Most people spend weeks searching, scrolling, and visiting stores, yet they still can’t settle on a clear direction.
Celebrity engagement rings offer a surprisingly reliable source for where bridal jewelry is headed.
Oval cuts made a major comeback thanks to Blake Lively, while old mine cuts exploded in popularity the moment Travis Kelce proposed. Yellow gold overtook platinum almost overnight, signaling a major style shift.
This post dives into the celebrity rings you need to know.
For each one, you’ll see the stone, the setting, and the designer. You’ll also get a sense of what each ring reveals about upcoming trends, helping you navigate the next wave in bridal jewelry with confidence.
Why Celebrity Rings Are Worth Paying Attention To
Celebrity rings are worth studying because they move markets.
Blake Lively got a pink oval diamond ring from Ryan Reynolds in 2012. Within two years, oval cuts went from a niche to the most-searched diamond shape on major jewelry sites.
Megan Fox wore a toi et moi ring in 2022. Searches for that style spiked overnight.
These rings are useful for a specific reason. They tell you which cuts and styles are about to go from unusual to everywhere.
21 Celebrity Engagement Rings Everyone’s Talking About
These rings below range from rare colored diamonds to lab-grown stones. Each one tells you something real about where the market is right now.
The Antique Cut Rings
These five rings brought old-world diamond cuts back into the conversation.
Old mine cuts, elongated cushions, and Georgian-style settings all predated the modern round brilliant. They were out of fashion for most of the 20th century.
Right now, they are the dominant direction in celebrity bridal jewelry.
1. Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce proposed to Taylor Swift in August 2025.
The ring features an old mine-cut elongated cushion diamond, estimated at 10-12 carats.
Some believe the stone weighs exactly 13 carats, a nod to Swift’s lucky number. The band is hand-engraved yellow gold, produced by Kindred Lubeck through Artifex Fine Jewelry.
Old mine cuts have softer, rounder facets than modern cushion cuts.
They throw light in a warmer, more diffused way. Since Kelce revealed this ring, searches for old mine-cut diamonds have risen sharply across every major jewelry platform.
2. Zendaya
Tom Holland proposed to Zendaya before the 2025 Golden Globes.
She debuted the ring on the red carpet in January 2025. It immediately set off a wave of search traffic for elongated cushion cuts.
The stone is 5.02 carats, set horizontally in a two-tone mounting. British designer Jessica McCormack made the ring, using a Georgian-style button-back setting with yellow gold and a platinum basket.
The east-west orientation is unusual. Most solitaires sit vertically on the finger. Zendaya’s ring turned the stone 90 degrees, making it look wider and more graphic across the hand.
3. Zoë Kravitz
Harry Styles proposed to Zoë Kravitz in 2026.
The ring uses a cushion-cut diamond in a cut-down bezel setting, inspired by Georgian-era jewelry. The mounting pairs 18K yellow gold with blackened white gold, creating a two-tone look that reads more vintage than modern.
No specific jewelry house has been publicly credited with the design.
The blackened metal is an unusual choice. Almost no celebrity ring in recent memory uses it, and it gives the ring a character that a standard polished metal band would not.
4. Miley Cyrus
Musician Maxx Morando proposed to Miley Cyrus in late 2025.
She debuted the ring at the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere in December. The ring features a cushion-cut diamond set on a thick 14-karat yellow gold band, designed by Jacquie Aiche.
There is no halo and no side stones. The band’s width is the design choice. It makes the ring look less like a classic solitaire and more like a statement piece.
Jewelers reported a rise in requests for thick-band cushion rings following this red-carpet appearance.
5. Grace Kelly
Prince Rainier III proposed to Grace Kelly in 1956.
Her ring was a 10.47-carat emerald-cut diamond, set in platinum by Cartier. Jewelry appraisers place the ring’s current value at roughly $38.8 million.
The emerald cut was popular in the mid-century and is now making a strong comeback in celebrity and editorial jewelry. Kelly’s ring is the oldest on this list.
It still shows up in every major “most iconic celebrity engagement rings” discussion, which says something real about how well the emerald cut holds up over time.
The Colored Stones and Statement Diamonds
These five rings make their statement through color, carat weight, or both.
Some use genuinely rare stones. Others go big on size. Either way, they have stuck in public memory in a way that most white diamond solitaires haven’t.
6. Jennifer Lopez
Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez in 2022 with an 8.5-carat radiant-cut natural green diamond.
Natural fancy green diamonds are among the rarest stones that exist.
Jewelry appraisers put the value at around $5 million. Green diamonds form almost entirely by accident during a diamond’s exposure to natural radiation underground.
Stones this size are very hard to find. She has one of the most unusual engagement ring collections in celebrity history.
7. Megan Fox
Machine Gun Kelly designed a two-ring set for Megan Fox.
One ring centers a D-color antique-cut diamond, MGK’s birthstone. The other holds an untreated Colombian emerald, Fox’s birthstone.
Worn together, the two rings form a silhouette that loosely resembles a heart. The bands are interlocking white gold thorns with hidden magnets inside.
Those magnets draw the rings together so they sit as one piece on the finger.
This style is called toi et moi, French for “you and me.” It places two stones side by side rather than a single center stone. Fox’s ring brought toi et moi to a much wider audience.
Search interest in the style spiked in 2022 after she was photographed wearing it.
8. Georgina Rodriguez
Cristiano Ronaldo proposed to Georgina Rodriguez in August 2025.
The ring features an oval-cut diamond estimated at over 35 carats. Two smaller oval diamonds flank the center stone on either side.
The three-stone layout is called a trilogy design. Rodriguez was also given a Porsche and a Louis Vuitton bag at the same time, making this one of the most widely covered celebrity proposals of 2025.
At 35-plus carats, the center stone is one of the largest oval diamonds in any current celebrity engagement ring.
9. Kim Kardashian
Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian a 15-carat cushion-cut diamond in 2013, made by Lorraine Schwartz.
The mounting was a simple pavé band with no competing side stones. At the time, it was one of the most-discussed celebrity rings for its sheer size.
Cushion cuts were already popular, and Kardashian’s ring kept them front of mind in the mass market. The ring was stolen during the Paris robbery of 2016 and has not been publicly seen since.
10. Blake Lively
Ryan Reynolds proposed to Blake Lively in 2011.
Her ring features a light pink oval diamond in a pavé halo, made by Lorraine Schwartz. The stone is estimated at around 12 carats.
Pink diamonds are among the rarest colored stones in the world. Most come from the Argyle mine in Australia, which closed in 2020.
After this ring got wide coverage in 2012, oval cuts jumped from niche to one of the most requested shapes. Lively’s ring is one of the clearest examples of a celebrity ring actually moving the market.
The Bespoke Designs Built Around a Story
These five rings were made specifically for the person who wears them.
Each one includes a design detail that holds personal meaning for the wearer, not just a stone chosen for its size or rarity. That approach has become more common in celebrity rings in recent years.
11. Paris Hilton
Jean Dousset designed Paris Hilton’s ring. He drew on the architecture of the Grand Palais ceiling in Paris, which pulls light from every angle.
The ring is a platinum emerald-cut diamond in a tension setting. In a tension setting, the diamond appears to float between the metal with no visible prongs holding it in place.
The design was entirely custom. Hilton named the ring after herself, something Dousset publicly confirmed. Tension settings are technically demanding.
Very few jewelers can produce them cleanly.
12. Paris Jackson
Paris Jackson’s ring features a 3-carat portrait-cut lab-grown diamond in 18K yellow gold, designed by Jean Dousset.
The ring includes seven deliberate references to the number 7, which holds personal meaning for her.
Those references appear in the shape of the band and in the placement of accent diamonds throughout the design. The portrait cut is a square-shaped cut with very large, open facets.
This was one of the first high-visibility celebrity rings to prominently feature a lab diamond, without apology.
13. Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa was photographed wearing what appears to be an engagement ring in 2025.
The ring features a round brilliant diamond on a wide, thick 18K yellow gold band in a cigar-style profile.
No official confirmation of an engagement to Callum Turner has been made as of this writing. The ring itself drew attention, separate from the question of the relationship.
Most engagement rings use a narrow or medium-width band. The thick band changes the ring’s proportions entirely. The diamond reads more like a fashion piece than a traditional solitaire.
14. Meghan Markle
Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle in 2017. He designed the ring himself, using a cushion-cut diamond from Botswana as the center stone.
The two flanking stones came from Princess Diana’s personal jewelry collection. The band is yellow gold. Harry sourced the diamonds himself and worked with a jeweler to produce the final piece.
The connection to Diana’s collection gave this ring a layer that most celebrity rings don’t carry.
That approach, using inherited or family stones in a custom setting, has since appeared in other high-profile ring commissions.
15. Hailey Bieber
Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey Baldwin in 2018.
The ring features a 6-carat oval-cut diamond set on a simple gold band with no halo or side stones.
Baldwin had previously shared publicly that she wanted a ring as large as Blake Lively’s. Bieber’s oval choice was directly in line with that.
The ring helped keep oval cuts in high demand through 2019 and into the early 2020s.
Together with Lively’s earlier ring, it helped make the oval the dominant celebrity engagement ring shape for much of that decade.
The Rings That Changed Everything
These six rings had the most measurable effect on what buyers actually requested in the years after they appeared. Some started trends.
Some revived cuts that had been dormant for decades. A couple simply held a cultural position long enough to become the default reference point for their style.
16. Princess Diana / Kate Middleton
Prince Charles proposed to Princess Diana in 1981 with a 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire.
The ring features 14 solitaire diamonds in a white gold setting, made by Garrard of London. Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton in 2010 using the same ring.
That reuse sent it through a second wave of cultural attention. Sapphire engagement rings spiked in popularity in both 1981 and 2010.
The combination of a colored center stone with a diamond halo is now one of the most produced styles in the mid-range market. You can trace that directly to this ring.
17. Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom proposed to Katy Perry in 2019.
The ring is a ruby-and-diamond flower design, with a ruby at the center, surrounded by eight diamond petals.
A ruby is as rare as a celebrity engagement ring center stone. Most colored stone rings in this category use sapphires or diamonds.
Perry’s ring is regularly cited alongside Diana’s sapphire in lists of the most recognized colored stone rings. It has driven ongoing interest in ruby engagement rings, which remain less common than sapphire alternatives.
18. Eva Longoria
Jean Dousset made Eva Longoria’s ring: a 5-carat emerald-cut diamond in platinum, flanked by two trapezoid-shaped side stones.
The design became Dousset’s reference point for a setting he now calls the “Haley,” offered as a ready-to-order three-stone layout.
The trapezoid-with-emerald-cut combination produces a very clean, art deco-influenced look. Longoria’s ring brought that combination to a wider audience.
It remains one of the most requested three-stone configurations at the luxury price point.
19. Lady Gaga
Michael Polansky proposed to Lady Gaga on April 1, 2024.
The ring is a custom piece by Sofia Jewelry. It features a large oval diamond set on an 18-karat white-and-rose gold pavé band.
The band includes natural pink ombré diamonds that graduate from white to pink across its width. Estimated value ranges from $500,000 to $2 million.
The ombré band is the detail that sets this ring apart. Most celebrity diamond rings use all-white pavé. The color graduation drew jewelry coverage independent of the celebrity context.
20. Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Nick Jonas proposed to Priyanka Chopra in 2018.
The ring features a cushion-cut diamond in a hidden halo design. A hidden halo sits beneath the center stone rather than around it. From above, the diamond looks like a floating solitaire. That setting distinction matters.
It gives the ring the appearance of a halo style from certain angles, while looking like a clean solitaire from above. The hidden halo has since become one of the most requested settings in the mid-range market.
21. Elizabeth Taylor
Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor the Krupp Diamond in 1968.
The stone is a 33.19-carat Asscher-cut diamond, set in a simple ring with no halo or side stones. The stone is the entire story.
Burton bought it at auction for $305,000, a record price at the time for a diamond sold at auction. Taylor wore it constantly and called it her favorite piece of jewelry.
After her death in 2011, the ring sold at Christie’s for $8.8 million. The Krupp Diamond is regularly cited as one of the most famous diamonds ever worn by a celebrity.
It also represents a rarely discussed point: the Asscher cut, with its deep square facets and geometric pattern, has never gone fully out of fashion despite being invented in 1902.
What These Ring Styles Actually Cost to Replicate
Knowing which styles celebrities choose is most helpful when you are shopping on a more realistic budget. Here is how the categories on this list translate in practice.
- Old Mine Cuts: This cut usually costs less per carat than modern round brilliants. The cut is less efficient, and lower historical demand kept prices down. Interest is rising as Swift’s ring gains popularity.
- Oval Cuts: They run roughly 10–20% less per carat than round brilliants of similar quality. The elongated shape also makes a stone appear larger than its actual carat weight.
- Toi et Moi Designs: These rings generally cost about the same as a comparable single-stone ring. Total cost depends on the two stones used. Megan Fox’s ring used a premium diamond and a Colombian emerald.
- Cushion Cuts: Cushion cuts are priced similarly to ovals, slightly less than round brilliants. A thick yellow gold band, like Miley Cyrus’s, costs less than a pavé-set band because it requires simpler production.
- Natural Colored Diamonds: They carry large premiums. A natural green diamond, like Jennifer Lopez’s ring, is beyond most budgets. Lab-grown fancy-colored diamonds are an emerging, more affordable alternative.
When considering celebrity-inspired rings, understanding these cost trends helps you choose a style that balances aesthetic appeal with practical affordability.
Wrapping It Up
Celebrity engagement rings have always moved markets.
What changed now is that the most talked-about rings were not the largest. Taylor Swift’s old mine cut, Zendaya’s east-west cushion, and Megan Fox’s toi et moi drew more attention than rings twice their carat weight.
The shift matters if you are shopping.
Antique cuts, yellow gold, and two-stone settings are available at all price points. You do not need a celebrity budget to wear a style that a celebrity chose.
Start with the cut that caught your eye here and go from there.
