The "Oh My God" Stunning Engagement Rings My Favorite Fashion People Wear
It has been years since my own engagement and wedding, but one thing I relish in is wedding planning and helping friends and loved ones pick out their engagement rings. In fact, I started an Instagram mood board to share my favorites along the way: When at Last. Weddings come and go, but the engagement ring is an everyday reminder of the love and commitment a couple shares. The ring often also reflects one's personal style, and that is where things get interesting.
One great place to find engagement-ring inspiration is on my Instagram feed—I am always keen to see what styles my favorite fashion people land on. Below, I rounded up 11 stunning engagement rings to inspire and delight even those married long ago. From classic emerald-cut diamonds to three-stone rings to more whimsical, fashion-forward settings, there is a little something for every taste.
Lucy Williams: Fashion and Lifestyle Influencer
British influencer Lucy Williams created her bold fashion-forward engagement ring with jewelry designer Hattie Rickards. Before the ring was complete Williams actually had a heart-shaped placeholder ring, which she shared in a YouTube video about her jewelry collection.
If you can't decide on a stone shape, here's a great way to incorporate them all.
Cortne Bonilla: Fashion and Beauty Editor
Fashion and beauty editor Cortne Bonilla opted for a three-stone ring from the Anna Sheffield Ceremonial jewelry collection. Cortne shared with us that it was based on a ring that belonged to Anna's mother: "I thought [that] was so, so special. It resembles an heirloom and goes perfectly with my classic sense of style."
Chloë Sevigny: Actress
This is actually actress Chloë Sevigny's wedding band, which is too chic not to share. For a similar look, skip the trending dainty, delicate bands and go for a thicker design.
This rose-gold pick has a staggered design that's more whimsical.
I can't decide if I like the white-gold or yellow-gold option more.
Pia Baroncini: Creative Director of LPA
How fitting is Pia Baroncini's Italian-made round solitaire engagement ring? The gorgeous ring is a custom design by Massimo Izzo, who happens to be one of her husband's close friends.
It doesn't get more classic than a yellow-gold diamond solitaire.
Alyssa Rara-Luna: Brand Marketing Consultant
Alyssa Rara-Luna went the nontraditional route with her statement linked ring. The design creates a cool layered look that I can't get enough of.
One great thing about linked rings is that the options are endless when it comes to the design.
Lee Litumbe: Founder and Creative Director of Éluwa Studio
Lee Litumbe's oval solitaire engagement ring is the epitome of chic. The barely-there band makes the diamond almost feel like it's floating.
I am a forever fan of a simple oval diamond set in yellow gold.
This engagement ring is sustainably made with recycled materials.
Natalie Cantell: Creative and Style Director
Creative and style director Natalie Cantell got to design her "art deco–inspired, sunburst dream" with Naveya & Sloane. She adds, "Engagement rings with solitaire diamonds all seemed very grown-up and seemed like I was wearing someone else's ring, so a cocktail ring like I already wore felt more my style. It's not conducive to stacking with a traditional band, so instead, I'll have a wedding ring I wear on my other hand—maybe a Cartier Love ring or something else we design together. I think it's a nice reminder you can really do whatever you want when it comes to your wedding."
A unique flower-shaped design is guaranteed to turn heads.
This one makes a stunning statement.
Rikke Krefting Ulstein: Fashion Influencer and PR
Rikke Krefting Ulstein is known for her elevated minimalist looks, and her sleek emerald-cut ring fits right in with the aesthetic.
How stunning is this unique textured band?
The emerald-cut diamond of this stunning ring is an antique.
Rachael Keegan: Fashion Lifestyle Influencer
Calling all pearl lovers! Rachael Keegan's gorgeous setting shows a lovely way to incorporate a pearl into an engagement ring.
Halo rings are another classic favorite when it comes to engagement rings.
This pearl is further accentuated with the help of a pavé diamond band.
Amrit Sidhu: DJ and Music Curator
Amrit Sidhu created her beautiful framed emerald-cut ring with designer Maggi Simpkins, who is known for her one-of-a-kind jewelry.
This bezeled emerald-cut ring is destined to become a family heirloom.
A sleek option worth considering.
Camille Charrière: Fashion Influencer
Every detail of Camille Charrière's wedding was an absolute dream, including her ring by Sophie Bille Brahe. As it turns out, Camille was not a fan of her original engagement ring, which she admitted on TikTok. This fashion-forward wavy design is much more her style—get a closer look at the ring over on her Instagram.
Scandi women are obsessed with this avant-garde jewelry designer.
Here's another waved band that fashion people are guaranteed to swoon over.
It's so hard to pick which engagement ring is a favorite.
