There’s something irresistibly intriguing about a celebrity engagement ring. These one-of-a-kind pieces are designed not just to dazzle, but to capture the unique essence of the person wearing them. At Martin Busch Jewelers, we believe that every love story deserves the same level of care and personalization.
Whether you’re planning your own engagement or looking to redesign an heirloom, celebrity engagement rings are full of inspiring design elements that you can reimagine into a ring that’s entirely yours.
Let’s explore some of the most iconic celebrity engagement rings and what makes them special along with creative ways you can bring similar elements into your own custom-designed engagement ring.
Blake Lively: Oval-Cut Elegance Meets Vintage Warmth
Blake Lively’s engagement ring is one of the most admired celebrity designs in recent years. Gifted by Ryan Reynolds, it features a 12-carat oval-cut light pink diamond set in rose gold, accented with a delicate pavé band.
Why it inspires:
-
Oval diamonds have a flattering, elongated shape that makes fingers look longer and more elegant. They offer similar brilliance to a round diamond but with a slightly softer, more romantic silhouette.
-
The rose gold setting adds vintage warmth and softness to the piece, balancing the diamond’s brilliance with a feminine glow.
-
The pavé detailing on the band adds just the right amount of shimmer without overwhelming the center stone.
How to make it yours:
-
Choose a lab-grown or natural oval-cut diamond for timeless sparkle.
-
Opt for a rose gold or blush-toned band to evoke warmth and romance.
-
Customize the pavé width or add a hidden halo beneath the setting for a modern twist.
This design is perfect for clients looking for a romantic, slightly vintage feel that still feels fresh and elegant.
Meghan Markle: Three-Stone Symbolism with Personal Meaning
Designed by Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s ring is a deeply symbolic piece featuring a trio of diamonds: one large center stone flanked by two smaller stones from Princess Diana’s personal collection. The ring is set on a yellow gold band, her favorite metal.
Why it inspires:
-
The three-stone setting is classic and meaningful—representing the past, present, and future of a relationship.
-
Including family heirloom stones adds generational value and emotional depth to the ring.
-
The yellow gold band offers a traditional, regal touch that complements the white diamonds beautifully.
How to make it yours:
-
Use heirloom diamonds or colored gemstones from family jewelry to personalize the design.
-
Select your own trio of diamonds in various shapes—oval, emerald, or cushion—for a more contemporary interpretation.
-
Consider a graduated side-stone setting, where the center stone is emphasized by smaller flanking stones that taper outward.
This ring style is ideal for couples seeking a design that honors both tradition and personal story.
Hailey Bieber: Clean, Radiant-Cut Minimalism
Hailey Bieber’s engagement ring features a massive radiant-cut solitaire diamond on a simple band, crafted by Solow & Co. Its sleek design is a masterclass in minimalism, allowing the stone’s cut and clarity to take center stage.
Why it inspires:
-
The radiant cut combines the rectangular elegance of an emerald cut with the brilliance of a round stone—giving off major sparkle with clean, modern lines.
-
The solitaire setting is timeless and allows for complete focus on the stone itself.
-
A thin band in white or yellow gold keeps the look crisp, chic, and effortlessly stylish.
How to make it yours:
-
Choose a radiant, emerald, or Asscher-cut diamond if you prefer architectural shapes with lots of light return.
-
Go for a thin, polished band or opt for a knife-edge band for added sophistication.
-
Add a hidden halo or cathedral setting to elevate the stone while keeping the overall design sleek.
This design is perfect for those who love understated luxury and want their diamond to make a quiet but bold statement.
Selena Gomez: The Glamour of the Marquise Cut
Selena Gomez’s engagement ring has caught the spotlight with its striking marquise-cut diamond—a shape that feels both timeless and contemporary. Known for its elongated, tapered points, the marquise cut creates the illusion of length and elegance on the finger while maximizing surface sparkle.
Her ring features a substantial center stone, estimated around 4 carats, set on a delicate diamond pavé band that adds shimmer without overwhelming the center. The result is modern glam at its most wearable.
Inspired by Selena? Here’s how to make it yours:
-
Opt for a marquise-cut diamond or colored gemstone for a dramatic, refined silhouette.
-
Pair it with a slender pavé or hidden halo band for understated brilliance.
-
Consider setting the stone in an east-west orientation for a fashion-forward twist.
At Martin Busch Jewelers, we can help you reimagine this celebrity look with your personal flair—whether you prefer the classic diamond or a gemstone with deeper meaning.
Lady Gaga: Feminine Drama in Pink
Lady Gaga’s engagement ring is a masterclass in bold elegance. With a vivid pink sapphire as the centerpiece, surrounded by a dazzling halo of white diamonds, her ring blends vintage romance with a contemporary flair. The floral-like halo arrangement gives it an unmistakable softness, while the bold color makes it unforgettable.
Sapphires—especially in fancy hues like pink—offer a vibrant alternative to traditional diamonds while maintaining excellent durability for daily wear.
Want to channel Gaga’s iconic style?
-
Choose a pink sapphire or another colored stone like peach spinel or lavender sapphire.
-
Surround it with a diamond halo or petal-inspired design for a touch of softness.
-
Set it in platinum or white gold for a clean, luminous finish.
This style is perfect for those who love to express their individuality with color and design. With custom design at Martin Busch Jewelers, you can explore the full spectrum of colored gemstones to create your own unforgettable moment.
Kate Middleton: The Enduring Legacy of Sapphire
Perhaps no engagement ring has inspired more recreations than Kate Middleton’s. Once worn by Princess Diana, this 12-carat oval blue sapphire surrounded by 14 round diamonds is the epitome of regal grace. Set in white gold, it speaks to tradition, legacy, and timeless design.
Sapphires are symbolic of wisdom and loyalty—an ideal choice for a ring meant to last a lifetime. And the halo setting adds depth and brilliance while preserving the focus on the richly colored center stone.
How to bring royal elegance into your own ring:
-
Choose a Ceylon-style blue sapphire in an oval cut to echo the royal silhouette.
-
Frame it with a halo of white diamonds for that classic brilliance.
-
Customize the setting in white gold for tradition, or yellow gold for a vintage-inspired twist.
