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, with an emphasis on personal style. A new wave of engagement ring styles has emerged, comprised of unique designs and stunning aesthetics.
From dazzling gemstones to intricate details, current styles showcase a wide variety of cuts, colours, and settings, with sophisticated personalisation adorning 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 centrepiece and as accent stones of their engagement rings. Bold and vibrant, stunning gemstones including 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 breath-taking $5mUSD), celebrities are opting for unconventional stones to reflect their individuality.
Vintage-inspired engagement rings are experiencing a major revival in 2023. Celebrities are seeking out 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 5ct ring is set in platinum and gold, with 140 white diamonds and accented with small rubies.

Eco-consciousness is playing a significant role in celebrity engagement ring choices in 2023. Celebrities are opting for ethically sourced diamonds and gemstones, as well as recycled or lab-grown options. This trend reflects a growing awareness of sustainability, and a consumer-led desire for responsible practices within the industry.
With impressive lab-grown diamond pieces taking center-stage on the red carpet at the 2023 Met Gala, sustainable and conflict-free stones have become increasingly popular.
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 a variety of cuts and colours, representing the coming together of two worlds.
The Toi et Moi setting enables the wearer to combine multiple different 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.

Classical Solitaires
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 makes a powerful statement. Stars like Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Bosworth, and Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown have embraced this minimalistic trend, showcasing the beauty of understated sophistication.
