Celeb-Inspired Engagement Rings Taking Over the USA

Written by Shelby Montel

Celebrities are known for setting trends and making those trends popular for decades to come. The magnitude of the effect that they have on their fans and on the general public is astounding. From Brigitte Bardot starting the off-shoulder tops to Paris Hilton rocking bright pink velour sets, we all know the impact these glamorous personalities have on us. Apart from having an influential status in the world of fashion, people turn to them for jewelry inspiration as well, especially for engagement rings.

There is no one else who does bridal bling better than Hollywood royalties. Famous people's engagement rings are always the jewels that their fans are most interested in seeing, as they give the ultimate spark of inspiration. We all have found ourselves feeling great happiness when we have seen our favorite celebrity post a couple of adorable pictures, a string of heartfelt messages, and then, of course, the often bigger and more luxurious sparklers!

In the past, we have seen Elizabeth Taylor’s unbelievable 33 carat diamond ring from Richard Burton (which was actually a gift and not an engagement ring), Kim Kardashian’s amazing 15 carat ring from Kanye West, and Amal Clooney’s 7 carat stunner in emerald cut. Although we have been adoring and swooning over them, a new crop of famous people’s engagement rings is igniting some serious bling envy.

Some of our favorite celebrities got on their knees to propose to their better halves with rings that are a sight for sore eyes!

Avril Lavigne

The first on our list of famous people’s engagement rings is the Canadian pop-punk icon Avril Lavigne. When the Grammy nominee was vacationing with her former beau, Mod Sun, in Paris, the rapper and drummer asked her hand in marriage on March 27, 2022.

The former couple wore matching heart-shaped pavé rings every day since they met. This is what inspired Mod Sun to present a heart-shaped diamond ring and make it even more special by engraving it with the words “Hi Icon,” the first words he spoke to Lavigne when he met her, and “Mod + Avril.” Although the two went their separate ways, their stunning ring still wows many people.

Cardi B

The rapper and singer from New York City was famously proposed to by her now estranged husband, Offset, in the middle of a concert show. Cardi B was given an enormous three stone, pear cut diamond ring of eight carats in a halo setting. Two rounds of halos surrounded the center stone and at the sides were smaller pear shaped diamonds. Her massive ring is what you may imagine as the ideal sparkler and if your eyes are twinkling at the dazzle of her stupendous rock, then we can help you create a rendition. You can get in touch with our team to recreate the magical ring of Cardi B.

Simone Biles

The Queen of the Olympics, Simone Biles, and Green Bay Packers safety, Jonathan Owens, said “yes” to a lifetime of happiness in 2022. Owens proposed to his now-wife with a sparkly three carat, oval cut diamond ring with a pavé band. The three carat rock perfectly suits her fingers, which are smaller in size. Hence, creating a balance.

Her wedding band is another thing of beauty, as the ring features a north-south set emerald cut eternity band. To match the extravagant shimmer on her wife’s hand, Owens’ wedding ring features three rows of diamonds set in an eternity ring setting. The diamonds in the top row are baguette cut; in the second row, they are oval cut; and in the final third row, they are emerald cut.

Priyanka Chopra

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and pop star Nick Jonas announced their engagement in 2018. Though the couple celebrated their wedding ceremonies and rituals multiple times in different outfits, the one that remained constant was the dazzler on Chopra’s left-hand finger. The ‘Exotic’ singer’s ring boasts a cushion cut center stone set in a silver platinum band and is surrounded by smaller tapered baguettes.

Emily Ratajkowski

The model, author, and actress engaged to her then-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard, in 2018. Initially, the film producer proposed to her with a paperclip, which Ratajkowski thought was an extremely romantic move. Before finalizing an engagement ring, the two got their wedding bands handmade by a jeweler.

Their bands are made of yellow gold. The yellow gold band complemented Emily’s engagement ring, which stunned many fans. The toi et moi ring (you and me ring) is an old classic that features two gemstones. Her ring features a three carat pear cut diamond and a two carat princess cut diamond. The pear cut gem tilts toward the princess cut diamond to form a seamless shape. The band of her engagement ring is made out of 18 karat yellow gold, further matching the hammered wedding band.

Sophie Turner

Joe Jonas, the vocalist and guitarist of the Jonas Brothers, was first spotted with the Game of Thrones actress in 2016. Then, in just over a year, Joe made things official by announcing on Instagram that the two were engaged.

The unique ring has recently come under focus again, as the two confirmed their divorce in September 2023. A three carat pear cut diamond sits elegantly between two bands studded with pavé diamonds, exuding a modern touch that signifies the merging of two lives. The double pavé bands also accentuate the sparkles of the pear cut diamond.

Brittany Mahomes

The starting quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, popped the question to his longtime girlfriend, Brittany Matthews, during the Chief’s Super Bowl ring ceremony in 2020. The two-time Super Bowl winner presented her with a glamorous, radiant cut diamond engagement ring with a pavé split-shank band.

The ring is the epitome of simplicity fused with enchantment. This style of ring is specifically popular among our customers and is classic and functional.

Nikki Reed

Twilight actress Nikki Reed and the leading man of The Vampire Diaries, Ian Somerland, got engaged in January 2015 and have been enjoying a blissful married life since. Somerland, in the hopes of wanting to surprise his then-girlfriend (now-wife), picked a unique ring that even the actress could not stop drooling over. It is a floral-inspired ring where the center stone appears to be a four carat diamond. To create the look of petals, the center stone is surrounded by smaller round diamonds. It is an antique-style setting.
