The following include six of our favorite celebrity engagement rings stars received in the last few years to do just that. Let them be your guides to making the jewelry decision of a lifetime—and have the time of your life doing it.
Jennifer Lopez engagement ring
Alex Rodriguez proposed to Jennifer Lopez in March 2019 with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring by the Miami based company Vivid Diamonds. The stunning diamond jewel clearly came with a hefty price tag. But the style, an emerald-cut diamond flanked by tapered baguettes, is a classic and can be found in various sizes for a variety of budgets. The look has roots in the mid-20th century. Grace Kelly famously received a Cartier ring in the same style from Prince Rainier in 1956.
Meghan Markle engagement ring
Prince Harry had Meghan Markle’s three-stone diamond engagement ring redesigned by Lorraine Schwartz while she was at the end of her 2019 pregnancy with their son Archie. The graceful update involved resetting the center cushion-cut diamond and the two smaller round side-stones, that came from one of Princess Diana’s jewels, onto a slender diamond and gold band. The Duchess of Sussex pairs her new engagement ring with her thin Welsh gold wedding band and a delicate diamond eternity band also commissioned from Lorraine Schwartz by Harry to give Meghan in celebration of Archie’s birth. On the interior of the eternity band there are three tiny birthstones representing Meghan (peridot green), Harry (blue sapphire), and Archie (emerald stone).
Jennifer Lawrence engagement ring
Jennifer Lawrence’s diamond engagement ring from her gallerist husband, Cooke Maroney, is an emerald-cut diamond set in a four-prong mounting on a platinum band. Understated and elegant, the ring was designed by Alison Chemla, the creative director and designer of Alison Lou. J-Law blends the piece with her delicate rings on a day-to-day basis.
Rooney Mara engagement ring
The diamond engagement ring Joaquin Phoenix gave Rooney Mara in 2019 fits her minimalist avant-garde style to perfection. It is a hexagon-shaped portrait cut diamond set between slender baguettes on a platinum band. The designer of the jewel has never been publicly revealed, but the person was a visionary. Picture frame diamonds are a very creative choice for an engagement ring. The gem is entirely flat without facets on the top or bottom. What it may lack in sparkle it gains in individuality.
Emily Ratajkowski engagement ring
Emily Ratajkowski loves jewelry and she worked on the unique design of her engagement ring with her movie producer husband Sebastian Bear-Mcclard in 2018. The ring, that was created by Alison Lou’s design atelier, features a large princess-cut diamond and a substantial pear-shaped diamond set side by side. The geometry of the two stones and the fact that the pear is set akimbo makes it special.
Hailey Bieber engagement ring
In 2018, Justin Bieber gave Hailey Baldwin a giant oval diamond engagement ring with a halo of diamonds set just underneath the stone on a gold band. The jewel, that was created by Solow & Co in New York, is super glam but fits right in with Hailey’s envelope-pushing street style looks. It shows what a great choice an oval cut diamond is for an engagement ring. Mrs. Bieber often wears her engagement ring with two wedding bands, a diamond and gold Soleste V ring and a band ring, both from Tiffany & Co. She also has a round diamond eternity band that she sports with her engagement ring.
