The new year is already abuzz with an exciting celebrity engagement courtesy of Zendaya and Tom Holland. And knowing her impact, the stylish star’s cushion diamond is likely already landing onto bridal Pinterest boards galore.
Last year, meanwhile, there was also Selena Gomez’s sparkler from Benny Blanco features a marquise diamond set on a pavé band, with the center stone estimated to be anywhere from six to eight carats, and Millie Bobby Brown’s ring from fiancé Jake Bongiovi featuring a round solitaire diamond surrounded by a halo. Then there’s Ben Platt, who’s wearing a unique sapphire with two diamond side stones set in yellow gold.
Of course, there are plenty of jewels from years prior that are still on our minds. Simone Biles’s engagement ring from football player Jonathan Owens is all about the sparkle. Her oval-shaped diamond made its debut with the help of ZoFrost & Co. through a sentimental Valentine’s Day proposal.
Other celebrities, like HyunA and Dawn, are shifting the standard for engagement rings. The K-pop stars both have matching opals on white-gold bands that are sprinkled with diamonds to signify their love. The chunky mood-ring aesthetic plays into the Y2K-inspired-jewelry trend and proves that an engagement ring does not have to be classic. Designed by Seoul-based jewelry shop Diligems, these unique styles are the only rings of their kind, as owner Yueun Esther Shin promised on Instagram, revealing that Dawn worked on dreaming up the special pieces for over a month.
But these are just the rings we’ve seen in recent history. Some of the most stylish celebrity rings out there — from the likes of Neil Lane, Lorraine Schwartz, and Cartier — are still considered unique and remain a source of inspiration for brides-to-be everywhere. That’s why we have gathered all of the most stylish celebrity engagement rings from years past and will continue to keep you updated every time another jaw-dropping stone hits the red carpet or gets its first close-up on Instagram.
