Unique and Unusual Star Engagement Rings

The supermodel and her producer husband tied the knot at City Hall with simple gold bands – then months later, she topped it off with a two-stone engagement ring featuring a square- and pear-cut diamond side by side.

The star showed off her massive ring, with a sapphire gem and high setting, in a sweet photo for the Goop Magazine spread in which she and her new fiancé revealed their engagement. 

It was only fitting that the Migos rapper give his fiancée a “raindrop”-shaped diamond – an 8-carat one, to be exact, set in a halo of pink diamonds by Pristine Jewelers.

It’s a match made in La La Land: the movie’s director proposed to his longtime actress love with a Monique Péan wraparoung ring set with two different-sized stones.

Dancing With the Stars’ Emma might have been shocked when her fellow pro proposed onstage, but the ring itself wasn’t a surprise — she’d sent her sister strict instructions to share regarding the “wine color,” halo-set pink sapphire she’s now sporting. 

The UnREAL costars made it very real when he proposed with this giant oval sapphire set in a rectangular halo with two more diamonds on either side.

Leave it to a style star like Mary-Kate to pair an over-the-top vintage Cartier diamond-and-sapphire engagement ring with a simple gold wedding band for a combo that’s effortlessly chic.

It was “love all” when the actress received this gigantic emerald ring with a split shank and halo setting from her former tennis player beau, Ruben Torres. The Colombian emerald represents Torres’ home country, while the Art Deco-inspired setting speaks to Swank’s tastes, a source says of the piece, designed for the couple by Tres Almas‘ Andrea Jaramillo. (Sadly, they called it off a few months later.)

Apparently, the singer’s actor beau couldn’t get her out of his head – because he proposed with a blingy emerald-cut diamond surrounded by two more halos of smaller diamonds. (The two split a year after their engagement.)

The Countess’s CEO beau couldn’t want to surprise her in Vail with this 8-carat canary yellow diamond ring set on either side with more diamonds. (The two tied the knot, then called it off.)

Naturally, the star who wore two caped jumpsuits on her wedding day wasn’t going to have a plain old wedding band. And her open-design gold band with two bezel-set stones opposite one another is unconventionally gorgeous, just like Solange’s style.

The Duck Dynasty star’s peek at her journal (proposal story and all) also happened to showcase her romantic opalescent oval-cut ring.

The bride-to-be looked ecstatic to show off her ruby-and-diamond sparkler from her TV exec boyfriend on The Today Show – even more so because she chose a pair of ruby-and-diamond earrings to match!

“I wanted something different,” Bridget Marquardt told People about her one-of-a-kind pavé diamond spider engagement ring, given to her by horror-film director Nick Carpenter. “The traditional rings were just really, really traditional and I just wanted something different, unique and special. We saw this and I was like, I love that!”

Cameron Diaz married Benji Madden on a Monday after only a few weeks of engagement – so it stands to reason that her engagement ring (a thick gold band inlaid with sparkling stones) isn’t terribly traditional, either.

Jennie Garth is now sporting a darkly sparkly number on her left ring finger: A glam black diamond encircled by white diamonds on a gold band, courtesy of fiancé David Abrams. (He filed for divorce in 2018.)

Jenny McCarthy’s huge yellow sapphire engagement ring from Donnie Wahlberg may seem hard to misplace, but somehow, the star has managed. “It’s a little hard to get romantic with diamonds on your hand!” she said. “I removed it and put it on the room service table, and they came and turned down the room and the ring was gone.” (She found it, so you can rest easy.)

Amazingly, the heart-shaped diamond on her Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring from her actor love isn’t the most interesting part of Gaga’s engagement ring. The diamond-studded band features a sweet message: T (HEARTS) S (her given name is Stefani). But we won’t have wedding jewelry to look at: They called off their engagement.

For the couple that met on the set of Mad Men, a gorgeous and unique sparkler worthy of that show’s killer costuming was the only thing that would do. And the octagonal stone set on a vintage-inspired band was certainly that.

In a town where everyone wants the newest, biggest and sparkliest, there’s something romantic and sweet about choosing a ring with a ton of history – like Maggie Grace’s antique setting from 1810, a gift from now-ex-fiancé Matthew Cooke.
