Rocks of the Rich and Famous — Most Dazzling Engagement Rings of All Time
Do you ever find yourself marveling at the stunning engagement rings rocking celebrities’ fingers? Want to find an equally amazing ring for your partner without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Check out our list of the most dazzling celebrity engagement rings of all time and learn how you can recreate these looks for your special someone, by designing a custom engagement ring at Gage Diamonds!
Meghan Markle
If you watched Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s captivating interview with Oprah Winfrey, you probably caught flashes of Markle’s ring. This beauty was actually designed by Prince Harry and features a substantial cushion-cut diamond from Botswana, where the couple has focused some of its charity efforts. The extraordinary center stone is surrounded by two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana’s personal jewelry collection. The arrangement originally rested on a simple yellow gold band, but it has since been upgraded to a micro-pave diamond-studded band.
Our Take: If you love this look, we recommend starting with our Magdalena Petite Three Stone setting in yellow gold, and adorning it with a cushion-cut center stone, replicating the focal point of Markle’s ring.
Emily Ratajkowski
When actor/producer Sebastian Bear-McClard proposed to model/actress Emily Ratajkowski in 2018, he used a paper clip that he formed into a ring. The couple’s romance is known for being unconventional. So, once Ratajkowski received her official engagement ring, it was, of course, unique! The ring features an angled, pear-shaped diamond and a princess-cut diamond atop a thin gold band. It definitely makes you look twice!
Our Take: If you love the geometric look of Ratajkowski’s piece, you’ll love our 14K White Gold Toi et Moi Diamond & Emerald Bypass Engagement Ring. Like Ratajkowki’s ring, the two stones are placed next to each other and sit at different angles. The combination of emerald, diamond and the white gold band truly makes this piece pop!
Sofia Vergara
You can practically spot actress Sofia Vergara’s engagement ring from outer space! The gift from now-husband Joe Manganiello features an impressive cushion-cut center diamond, surrounded by a ring of pave diamonds. The platinum band is studded with even more pave diamonds.
Our Take: If your partner loves bling as much as Vergara, you can’t go wrong by starting with our Melanie Halo Setting! Like Vergara’s ring, choose a cushion-cut center stone as the focal point of this piece. It almost looks like a duplicate!
Hailey Baldwin
The sight of this ring just might make you break into song, like Justin Bieber’s hit, “Baby.” The pop star proposed to model Hailey Baldwin with a hefty, yet elegant, oval-shaped diamond and hidden halo on a thin, yellow gold band. Bieber reportedly wanted the ring to highlight Baldwin’s “beautifully shaped hands.” The rest is history.
Our Take: Do you want to emphasize your partner’s lovely hands too? If so, our Remi Hidden Halo setting is a great choice! To finish it off, top this stunning yellow gold setting with an oval-shaped center stone, which often makes fingers look long and slim.
Lady Gaga
Singer Lady Gaga literally wore love on her finger when she received this stunning, heart-shaped engagement ring from former fiance Taylor Kinney in 2015. The delicate diamond rested on a thin platinum or white gold band decorated with pave diamonds. For an extra surprise, the bottom of the ring featured the pair’s initials with a heart between them.
Our Take: If you can’t get enough of this sweet look, check out our Calia setting! Like Lady Gaga’s ring, choose a heart-shaped center stone to accompany this diamond-studded band. It’s like you’re literally giving the gift of love!
Kate Middleton
It felt like the entire world watched as Prince William and Kate Middleton said “I do” in 2011. But before the couple exchanged vows, Prince William proposed with a sentimental ring that previously belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. This magnificent piece features a gigantic blue sapphire surrounded by a ring of smaller, round diamonds, creating a floral appearance.
Our Take: If you love the striking blue color of Middleton’s ring, you’ll fall head over heels with our 14K White Gold Sapphire Oval Halo Engagement Ring. The oval-shaped blue sapphire, surrounding double diamond halos and intricate detailing create an absolutely breathtaking look.
Marilyn Monroe
This is technically a wedding ring, but we had to include it! In 1954, New York Yankees star Joe DiMaggio tied the knot with actress Marilyn Monroe and gave her a platinum eternity band with 35 baguette-cut diamonds. Although the marriage lasted less than a year, the ring symbolized everlasting love and companionship.
Our Take: If you have the same hopes for your relationship, we highly recommend our Camden 14K Gold Lab Grown Diamond Straight Baguette Band. For a slightly different twist, the diamonds are positioned horizontally and the prongs provide added detail. Simple yet beautiful, there isn’t a better way to show your lifelong commitment.
Blake Lively
In 2012, actress Blake Lively accepted a special gift from Deadpool’s alter ego, actor Ryan Reynolds: an engagement ring featuring an impressive oval-shaped, light pink diamond and diamond-studded rose gold band. Pink is reportedly one of the rarest diamond shades, making the ring even more of a “treasured possession” for Lively.
Our Take: If you love the color of Lively’s spectacular gem, look no further than our Alexa Morganite 14K Rose Gold Oval Solitaire Engagement Ring! The rose gold band and beautiful pink morganite stone will really stand out on your partner’s finger. Morganite is often associated with innocence, sweetness, romance and love. Just another reason to choose this ring for your special someone!
