8 Celebrity Engagement Rings, From Hailey Bieber to Deepika Padukone, With Ideas You Can Make Your Own Using Lab-Grown Diamonds
From Hailey Bieber’s elongated oval solitaire to Deepika Padukone’s clean emerald-cut diamond, here are eight celebrity engagement rings with design ideas worth borrowing for your own.
Celebrity engagement rings tend to arrive with dizzying carat estimates, enormous price tags, and enough online analysis to qualify as a minor academic discipline.
But the most useful thing about them is rarely their size.
Look closely, and every memorable celebrity ring has one strong idea behind it. The diamond may be turned sideways. The side stones may sharpen the silhouette. A vintage-inspired cut may replace mathematically perfect symmetry. Sometimes, the most meaningful detail is not visible until the ring is taken off.
Those ideas can work beautifully without copying the original ring or chasing celebrity-sized diamonds.
With lab-grown diamonds, you can explore larger stones, distinctive shapes, side-diamond settings, and customised details while choosing a design that still feels comfortable enough to wear beyond the proposal photographs.
Here are eight celebrity engagement rings worth saving to your Pinterest board, along with the design lesson each one offers.
1. Hailey Bieber’s Elongated Oval Solitaire
Few celebrity engagement rings have influenced modern bridal jewellery quite as visibly as Hailey Bieber’s oval solitaire.
Her upgraded engagement ring features an elongated oval diamond set with very little competing detail. The shape gives the diamond a long, elegant appearance, while the restrained setting allows its proportions to do most of the work.
The idea worth borrowing is not simply “choose an oval diamond.”
It is that an elongated solitaire needs very little decoration.
Oval diamonds already create visual impact because their length covers more of the finger than a similarly sized round diamond. A slim band makes the centre stone appear even more prominent, while a clean setting prevents the overall design from becoming too busy.
You can also adjust how elongated you want the oval to look. A softer, wider oval feels classic. A longer oval feels more contemporary and fashion-forward.
If you love Hailey’s ring but want something practical for everyday wear, focus on proportion rather than carat size. A beautifully cut lab-grown oval diamond can create the same long, clean silhouette without needing a headline-making stone.

2. Zendaya’s East-West Diamond Ring
Zendaya’s engagement ring became instantly recognisable because of one seemingly simple decision: the centre diamond was turned sideways.
Her cushion-shaped diamond is set in an east-west orientation, meaning it sits horizontally across the finger rather than vertically. The unusual placement gives an otherwise classic diamond shape an entirely different personality.
That is the idea worth borrowing.
Changing the stone’s orientation can transform the whole ring.
An east-west setting feels modern, slightly unexpected, and architectural without requiring an elaborate halo or heavily decorated band. It can also make an elongated stone appear to stretch more generously across the finger.
For anyone who likes classic jewellery but becomes restless around anything too predictable, this is an excellent middle ground.

3. Selena Gomez’s Marquise Diamond Ring
Selena Gomez’s engagement ring helped bring the marquise diamond firmly back into the bridal conversation.
The ring features a marquise-shaped centre diamond on a diamond-set gold band. Its pointed ends and elongated body give it a strong silhouette that does not need much additional ornamentation.
The idea worth borrowing is that a distinctive diamond shape can do all the styling.
A marquise diamond immediately feels more individual than a round solitaire. It has drama, length, and an almost vintage quality, but still looks clean when paired with a simple band.
The shape can also be surprisingly flattering. Its tapered points visually lengthen the finger, while its broad centre gives the diamond a substantial face-up appearance.
Selena’s ring proves that you do not necessarily need multiple stones or complicated detailing to create a ring people remember. Sometimes the outline alone is enough.

4. Taylor Swift’s Vintage-Inspired Engagement Ring
Taylor Swift’s engagement ring stands apart from the highly polished oval and emerald-cut solitaires that have dominated celebrity proposals in recent years.
The ring features an old mine brilliant-cut diamond in a vintage-inspired yellow-gold setting. Old mine cuts are known for their softer outlines, larger facets, and hand-cut character, which can make each stone appear slightly different rather than perfectly uniform.
Modern brilliant cuts are designed for precision and maximum light performance. Vintage-inspired cuts offer something else: visible personality.
Their facets can create broader flashes of light rather than a constant glitter. Their outlines may feel softer and less mathematically exact. Set in yellow or rose gold, they can look as though they have already lived through a few stories.
You do not need an actual antique stone to achieve that mood. A modern lab-grown diamond can be cut or selected to create a softer cushion shape, an elongated outline, or a chunkier faceting pattern. Engraving, milgrain edges, warm gold, bezel details, and a split shank can further introduce an heirloom quality.
This kind of ring is particularly suited to someone who does not want her engagement jewellery to look freshly pulled from the same showroom tray as everyone else’s.

5. Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s Cushion-Cut Ring With Baguette Side Stones
Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s engagement ring combines a cushion-cut centre diamond with tapered baguette diamonds on either side.
The centre stone brings softness and brilliance. The baguettes introduce straight lines and structure, creating a balanced three-stone composition without competing with the main diamond.
Unlike round side stones, which create more sparkle and fullness, baguette diamonds act almost like punctuation marks. Their clean geometry draws the eye inward and frames the centre diamond.
This setting can also make a modestly sized centre diamond appear more substantial because the three stones create greater finger coverage together.
For a cleaner design, use plain tapered baguettes with an unadorned gold band. For more sparkle, add a fine pavé shank while keeping the side stones restrained.
The result feels glamorous, but not fussy. It has presence, symmetry, and enough architectural detail to remain interesting long after the first round of engagement photographs.

6. Deepika Padukone’s emerald cut Diamond Solitaire
Deepika Padukone’s engagement ring is remembered for its large diamond and crisp, elongated lines.
Often described as an emerald-cut solitaire, the ring creates impact through shape and scale rather than layers of decorative detailing. Emerald cuts have long, stepped facets that produce broad flashes of light and a distinctive hall-of-mirrors effect.
An emerald-cut diamond does not sparkle in quite the same way as a round brilliant. Its appeal is cooler and more graphic. The eye is drawn into the stone rather than simply towards the surface sparkle.
That makes it ideal for someone who prefers sharp tailoring, minimal design, and jewellery that feels polished rather than overly ornate.
You can also play with proportion. A long, slender emerald cut feels dramatic and elongates the finger. A wider rectangular stone has a stronger, more classic presence.
The lesson from Deepika’s ring is refreshingly straightforward: when the shape is strong enough, the ring does not need to shout from every direction.

7. Alia Bhatt’s Ring With a Hidden Engraving
Alia Bhatt’s engagement ring may be visually striking, but its most interesting feature is reportedly concealed inside the band.
The ring includes a private engraving connected to the couple, turning a highly visible piece of jewellery into something with a meaning that belongs primarily to the people wearing it.
Engagement-ring customisation often begins with questions about diamond shape, carat size, and gold colour. But engraving can make even the cleanest solitaire feel completely personal.
It could be a date, initials, a nickname, coordinates, a line from a song, or a phrase that makes very little sense to anyone outside the relationship. That privacy is precisely what makes it special.
Other hidden details can work in the same way. A small diamond can be set beneath the centre stone. A birthstone can be tucked inside the band. A hidden halo can add sparkle that is visible mainly from the side. The gallery beneath the diamond can include a subtle motif or symbol.
The ring still looks polished and wearable from the outside. Its real story sits closer to the skin.

8. Meghan Markle’s Meaningful Three-Stone Ring
Meghan Markle’s engagement ring is a three-stone design with a cushion-cut centre diamond from Botswana and two side diamonds from Princess Diana’s jewellery collection.
The stones were chosen not only for their appearance, but also for their connection to places, people, and family history.
Three-stone rings are often associated with a couple’s past, present, and future. But the stones can represent almost anything meaningful: two families coming together, important milestones, children, shared birth months, or places that shaped the relationship.
They also offer plenty of room for design customisation.
Matching side diamonds create a formal, symmetrical look. Pear-shaped side stones can soften the ring and direct attention towards the centre. Round diamonds add brilliance. Baguettes create structure. Coloured gemstones can introduce symbolism without changing the overall elegance of the design.
The centre stone does not always need to dwarf the others. A gently graduated arrangement can feel harmonious and easier to wear every day.
Meghan’s ring shows that additional diamonds do not have to be included simply for more sparkle. They can help the ring tell a fuller story.

How to Use Celebrity Engagement Rings as Inspiration
The best way to use a celebrity engagement ring is not to request an exact copy.
Start by identifying the single feature that made you save the image.
Was it Hailey Bieber’s elongated oval shape? Zendaya’s sideways setting? Selena Gomez’s marquise silhouette? Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s structured baguettes? Deepika Padukone’s clean rectangular lines?
Once you know what you actually love, the rest of the design becomes easier.
You can choose a diamond size that suits your hand and lifestyle. You can lower the setting if you use your hands constantly. You can select 9KT, 14KT, or 18KT gold depending on your preferred colour, durability, and spend. You can add personal details that no celebrity ring could possibly have because the story belongs to you.
Lab-grown diamonds make this process more flexible. They are real diamonds with the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds, allowing you to explore distinctive shapes and customised settings at a value that feels far more reasonable.
All Ethera diamonds are IGI-certified and set in BIS-hallmarked gold. Engagement rings can be customised across diamond shape, size, quality, gold karat, setting style, band design, and engraving.
The goal is not to propose with someone else’s ring.
It is to notice the idea that made their ring memorable, then turn it into something unmistakably yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which celebrity engagement-ring style is easiest to adapt?
A solitaire is usually the easiest style to adapt because its appearance can be changed through the diamond shape, band width, gold colour, and setting. Hailey Bieber’s elongated oval and Deepika Padukone’s emerald-cut ring are good examples of simple designs with strong silhouettes.
Can celebrity-inspired engagement rings be made with lab-grown diamonds?
Yes. Celebrity-inspired designs can be recreated using lab-grown diamonds in oval, marquise, cushion, emerald, radiant, pear, and other cuts. The design can be adjusted to suit your preferred size, setting, gold karat, and budget rather than copied exactly.
Are lab-grown diamonds suitable for engagement rings?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds and have the same hardness, durability, brilliance, and chemical composition as mined diamonds. They are suitable for jewellery intended to be worn every day.
Which diamond shape makes an engagement ring look larger?
Elongated shapes such as oval, marquise, pear, emerald, and radiant cuts often appear larger from the top because they cover more of the finger. A slim band, halo, or carefully selected side stones can also increase the ring’s overall visual presence.
What is an east-west engagement-ring setting?
An east-west setting places an elongated diamond horizontally across the finger instead of vertically. Zendaya’s engagement ring is a well-known example. The setting can be used with cushion, oval, emerald-cut, radiant, and marquise diamonds.
Can I add hidden personal details to an engagement ring?
Yes. An engagement ring can include an engraving, hidden halo, small diamond beneath the setting, symbolic gallery design, birthstone, initials, date, or private message inside the band.
Does Ethera customise engagement rings?
Yes. Ethera offers engagement-ring customisation across diamond shape, carat size, diamond quality, setting, gold colour, gold karat, band style, side stones, and personal engraving. Designs are available in 9KT, 14KT, and 18KT BIS-hallmarked gold.
