Celebrities have long influenced the engagement ring trends of us mere mortals – whether it’s Austrian royalty, Queen Mary of Burgundy who donned the very first diamond engagement ring in 1477, the inimitable Elizabeth Taylor and her astonishing 33.19 CT Asscher-cut diamond engagement ring, forever known as the Burton-Taylor diamond, or Jennifer Lopez’s extraordinarily rare green diamond engagement ring from Ben Affleck, the baubles of choice for the rich and famous will always capture our imagination.
If current engagement ring trends are anything to go by, 2023 will be a year of bespoke, unique designs emphasising personal style. A new wave of engagement ring styles has emerged, comprised of unique designs and stunning aesthetics.
Current styles showcase a wide variety of cuts, colours, and settings, from dazzling gemstones to intricate details. Sophisticated personalisation adorns the fingers of celebrities and trendsetters alike.
Today, we look at the latest celebrity engagement ring trends taking centre stage.
This year, trendsetters are embracing statement gemstones as both centrepieces and accent stones of their engagement rings. Bold and vibrant, stunning gemstones such as emeralds, sapphires, and rubies are taking their brilliantly colourful place in the spotlight.
From Rita Ora’s richly coloured emerald engagement ring to Jennifer Lopez’s stunning, rare green diamond engagement ring (valued at a breathtaking USD $5m), celebrities opt for unconventional stones to reflect their individuality.
Vintage-inspired engagement rings are experiencing a significant revival in 2023. Celebrities seek timeless elegance with intricate filigree work, delicate engraving, and Art Deco motifs. These rings evoke a sense of romance and nostalgia, offering a touch of old-world charm to modern-day love stories.
Ashlee Simpson’s stunning Art Deco-inspired engagement ring is a near-perfect example of this stunning, chic vintage trend. The 5-carat ring is set in platinum and gold, with 140 white diamonds accented with small rubies.

Celebrities are embracing fancy cut diamonds to add a distinctive touch to their engagement rings. Princess, cushion and pear-shaped diamonds are gaining feverish popularity, their unique, eye-catching shapes providing a fresh and contemporary appeal to the classical round.
Striking and dramatic cuts, like Asscher, emerald, radiant, and even heart-shaped, are making a bold comeback with celebrities including Cardi B, Sophie Turner, and Avril Lavigne having been spotted wearing their own unique, fancy-cut diamond engagement rings.

Eco-consciousness is playing a significant role in celebrity engagement ring choices in 2023. Celebrities are opting for ethically sourced diamonds, gemstones, and recycled or lab-grown options. This trend reflects a growing awareness of sustainability and a consumer-led desire for responsible practices within the industry.
A beautifully sophisticated example includes Natalie Portman’s unique 4CT round diamond halo engagement ring, made from recycled platinum and conflict-free diamonds.
Romance is back with the brilliant resurgence of Toi et Moi engagement rings. A deeply romantic style that dates back to the Napoleonic era, Toi et Moi is French for ‘you and me’. This beautiful, unusual setting style pairs two large stones across various cuts and colours, representing the coming together of two worlds.
The Toi et Moi setting enables the wearer to combine multiple styles – coloured stones with brilliant white diamonds, vintage-style stones such as pearls or family heirloom diamonds with striking modern cuts and colours, and delicate fancy cuts with classical round and square shapes.
This is a truly personalised approach to a romantic, historied style (as worn by Jackie Kennedy). Celebrities including Ariana Grande, Megan Fox, and Emily Ratajkowski have fallen in love with this striking yet feminine affair.
It seems our desire for classical, timeless pieces is stronger than ever, with the stunningly simple solitaire engagement ring remaining a dominating trend among the rich and famous.
The elegance and simplicity of a single, sparkling diamond held by a sleek band make a powerful statement. Stars like Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Bosworth, and Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things have embraced this minimalistic trend, showcasing the beauty of understated sophistication.
The latest engagement ring trends reflect diverse styles that offer something for every taste and personality. From statement gemstones to vintage-inspired designs, celebrities set the stage for what will be en vogue in the world of engagement rings.
Whether it’s a unique diamond cut, bold pairings, or eco-conscious choices, these trends inspire individuals to seek out their own distinctive symbols of love. As we celebrate the beauty and craftsmanship of these celebrity-inspired rings, let us remember that their true significance lies in the love and commitment they represent, transcending trends and standing the test of time.
