Read about the leading celebrity engagement ring trends for 2023 while gathering all the inspiration you need. Take a look at some stand-out look-alike pieces and discover how you can get a celeb-inspired dreamy ring – for less!
Celebrity engagements, weddings and their super-expensive rings have always captivated the public’s attention. And while I’d always advise going with your heart when looking for the perfect ring, it’s still fun to look at what celebrities are spending the big bucks on! And, as with most fashions, the rich and famous hugely influence the high street fashions that eventually filter down to us mere mortals!
One of the most exciting aspects of these high-profile couplings is the dazzling engagement rings that embellish the fingers of the stars. As we’re well into 2023, we find ourselves amidst a fascinating era of celebrity engagement rings, where innovative designs and breathtaking gemstones take centre stage. Let me offer my top suggestions that encapsulate the spirit of each style – at a price you really can afford! From timeless classics to unique contemporary pieces, let’s take a look at celebrity engagement rings and the trends that have captured the world’s imagination.
Timeless elegance
While new jewellery trends emerge each year, timeless elegance continues to hold its allure in the world of celebrity engagements. The classic solitaire diamond ring remains a favourite choice for many stars, showcasing the everlasting beauty of a single exquisite diamond. This year, we’re witnessing an emphasis on simplicity – with sleek and refined bands that allow the centre stones to shine without distractions. Celebrities like Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence opted for minimalist designs, highlighting the enduring appeal of understated sophistication.
I just love the simplicity and sheer size of Jennifer Lawrence’s stunning ring, with its 4-5 carat elongated emerald cut diamond, set on a simple platinum or white gold band. It’s estimated to be worth between $60 and $100k. But would you believe, you can get your very own look-alike for a lot less? If you love Jennifer’s ring, but it’s a bit out of your budget, check out Infinity Diamond Jewellery and their incredible range of affordable lab-diamond and moissanite engagement rings. These stunning emerald cut moissanite engagement rings are the perfect dupes for Jlaw’s engagement ring – with prices starting from just £625!

Coloured gemstones
In recent years, coloured gemstones have gained prominence in the world of engagement rings and there are so many fabulous options to choose from. I predict this is one trend that’s definitely here to stay. A-listers such as Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry proudly display their vibrant gemstone rings, inspiring a wave of admiration and imitation. From bold sapphires, emeralds and rubies to lesser-known gems including peachy morganites – celebrities are choosing colourful stones that reflect their unique personalities and style. These breathtaking rings not only redefine tradition (which I’m such a big fan of!) but also add a captivating pop of colour to the world of engagement jewellery. J Lo’s green diamond engagement ring cost an unimaginable $5-10 million! But whether you prefer an emerald, sapphire or ruby, there’s a whole rainbow of affordable alternative rings to choose from.

Vintage Revival
The charm of vintage engagement rings has made a remarkable comeback in 2023, with celebrities embracing the romance and nostalgia associated with heirloom pieces. Vintage-inspired features to look out for include intricate detailing, filigree work and elaborate settings that mirror a bygone era. Stars like Margot Robbie and Lily Collins have opted for rings that capture the essence of vintage elegance, bringing a touch of old-world glamour to their modern love stories. The resurgence of celebrities choosing vintage styles has captured the imagination of all of us, so why not grab yourself one of these celebrity-inspired pieces?

Unique shapes & settings
In the quest for individuality, celebrities are increasingly turning to engagement rings with unconventional shapes and settings. Pear, oval and cushion-cut centre stones are making waves, providing a fresh twist on traditional round brilliant-cut centre stones.
These, teamed with unique settings such as hidden halos, are also gaining popularity, allowing the centre stones to take on a unique look from every angle. Here are a few budget-friendly options that will allow you to join stars, including Hailey Bieber and Sophie Turner, setting new trends and inspiring jewellery fans worldwide!

Sustainability & ethical sourcing
In recent years, there’s been a growing emphasis on sustainability and ethical sourcing in the jewellery industry and this sentiment has spilled over into the world of celebrity engagements. High-profile couples are now actively seeking engagement rings that are crafted with responsibly sourced and conflict-free gemstones.
And, this trend reflects a broader societal shift towards conscious consumerism and promotes the importance of ethical practices in the luxury market. Celebrities like Emma Watson and Leonardo DiCaprio have become advocates for sustainability, choosing engagement rings that align with their values. If this is something that’s important to you too, did you know the ethical choice doesn’t have to cost the earth? I recommend buying lab-grown gems as this 100% guarantees your ring is conflict-free and sustainably sourced – and the best news is that by removing the expensive and dirty mining process, lab-created stones will save you money too! Here are a few of my favourite ethical and sustainable ring choices, that look like they cost a million dollars!

Whether it’s the simplicity of solitaire stones, the allure of coloured gemstones or vintage-inspired designs, celebrities continue to set trends that capture our collective imagination.
The choices made by these famous figures not only shape the world of fashion but also influence the bridal jewellery and wedding trends that become popular with us ordinary folk – and now you can get a designer-style ring at a more pocket-friendly price! As we move forward and the realm of celebrity engagement rings continues to inspire and surprise, never forget the real importance of exchanging rings isn’t how big the rock is or how much it costs – but instead, it’s the perfect sign of your love and commitment to each other.
