13 Unusual Engagement Rings You Haven't Seen Before
Starting as a valued member of Queensmith's Production Department and transitioning to the Brand & Marketing team, Sarah creates all our social media content and is our go-to for the latest trends, style advice and celebrity culture.
From celebrity oval engagement rings to unique princess cuts, we're all familiar with the large and bedazzling features we associate with celebrity rings. Whether it's Beyoncé's 18ct emerald cut diamond ring or Paris Hilton's 20ct pear shape engagement ring, celebrities are known for having the biggest and flashiest engagement rings in the game. But what about those more unusual celebrity engagement rings that might not get as much attention?
While size may matter to some, we think there's a lot to be said for the famous engagement rings that aren't completely over the top. We’ll give you the rundown on the 13 best celebrity engagement rings of the past decade with captivating stories, engagement ring descriptions and how you can recreate the style. Discover the allure these luxurious engagement rings and get inspired. From the demure to the dazzling, here are our 13 favourite unusual celebrity engagement rings that you might not have seen before (and to be fair, they're still pretty sizeable).
1. Miranda Kerr’s Engagement Ring
To our delight, everybody’s favourite model and former Victoria’s Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr, became engaged to Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel back in 2016. It was no surprise that Miranda turned to Snapchat to show off her sparkly round diamond ring to the world (complete with a personalised filter, of course).
Kerr’s engagement ring is beautifully simple. While celebrity engagement rings can become outlandish in size and design, Evan kept things traditional, choosing a trilogy ring: two baguette diamonds flanking a round brilliant diamond in the middle. Rather romantically, trilogy engagement rings feature three diamonds representing the relationship’s past, present and future, which adds a truly personal touch to the ring.
The step-cut baguettes offer a nod to vintage design, while the refined setting and striking centre diamond make for a sleek and modern engagement ring. For a similar look, check out our Winters engagement ring design, featuring a round diamond with two perfectly matched tapered baguette diamond side stones.
How many carats is Miranda Kerr's engagement ring?
The centre diamond of Miranda's engagement ring is believed to be around 2 carats.
2. Kim Kardashian’s Engagement Ring
We all know the chocking tale of Kim Kardashian’s Parisian hold-up, in which thieves stole around $10 million worth of the star’s jewellery. Among the stolen pieces was Kim’s brand new flawless emerald cut diamond ring from then-husband Kanye West – a second spectacular ring gifted after her original engagement. Kanye had first proposed with a cushion cut diamond engagement ring, designed by Lorraine Schwartz with a delicate pavé diamond band.
Still shaken by the ordeal, Kim has since stepped away from wearing large, high-value diamonds in public. Instead, she’s often seen with a simple diamond eternity ring on her wedding finger – a pared-back style that feels both meaningful and refreshingly understated.
How many carats is Kim Kardashian's engagement ring?
Kim Kardashian has had two engagement rings from Kanye West. Her first engagement ring, given in 2013, featured a 15 carat cushion cut diamond designed by Lorraine Schwartz. In 2016, Kanye gifted her a second ring – a 20 carat emerald cut diamond, also by Schwartz, valued at around $4 million. Sadly, this larger ring was among the pieces stolen during the Paris robbery later that year.
Are eternity rings a good idea?
If a big rock isn’t for you, an eternity ring could be a great, understated engagement ring alternative. From an ultra-thin Pavé Set Band, just like Kim’s, to a slightly more sizeable Princess Cut Channel Set Band or ethereal Montez Round & Marquise Eternity Ring – the eternity ring world is your oyster!
3. Blake Lively’s Engagement Ring
Hollywood’s funniest couple, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, married in 2012 after a super secretive relationship. It wasn’t until after their nuptials that we got our first glimpse of Blake’s show-stopping pink diamond oval engagement ring. Reportedly designed by celebrity favourite Lorraine Schwartz, the large oval diamond is set beautifully in a romantic shade of rose gold, to complement the pale, rosy hue of her centre stone. The scallop set diamond band is intricate, with diamonds adorning the three visible sides of the band.
How much is Blake Lively's engagement ring worth?
Blake Lively's engagement ring is estimated to cost around $2 million.
How many carats is Blake Lively's engagement ring?
Blake Lively's pink diamond engagement ring is an impressive 12 carats.
Just like Blake’s, the Oval Bardot Scallop features an oval centre diamond in a scallop setting. The style is available in 18k rose gold, as well as 18k yellow gold and platinum (and if you want to be just like Blake, you could even opt for a pink diamond, just drop us a message).
4. Kate Bosworth’s Engagement Ring
In 2012, director Michael Polish proposed to Kate Bosworth with a stunning asscher cut diamond solitaire engagement ring. The asscher cut is a timeless diamond shape, first created in the 18th century and gaining unequivocal popularity in the 1920s Art Deco movement. The simplicity of the unusual ring reflects Kate’s cool, sleek and unique style. Kate’s simple ring lends itself to versatility, allowing her to dress up her hands with a plethora of super modern pieces, or strip back her jewellery and let her engagement ring do all the talking.
Asscher cut engagement rings, like our Bardot and Temple, are perfect if you're looking to reflect Kate's elegant style.
Are Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish divorced?
Unfortunately, Kate and Michael announced their divorce in 2021. In March 2023, Kate then revealed her engagement to actor Justin Long – they wed a few months later at the Rockaway Hotel in New York City’s Queens during a spur-of-the-moment ceremony. Similar in style to her first engagement ring, Kate's solitaire ring from Justin features a modern cushion cut diamond on a sleek platinum band. We recommend our Cushion Temple ring in platinum if you're searching for a similar minimalist look.
How many carats is Kate Bosworth's new engagement ring?
Kate Bosworth’s new engagement ring, gifted to her by now-husband Justin Long, is around 8 carats.
5. Dianna Agron’s Engagement Ring
Dianna Agron fittingly debuted her famous engagement ring at London Fashion Week in 2016, and married husband, Winston Marshall of Mumford and Sons, only a few months later in possibly the most chic wedding ever (seriously check out the photos, if you haven't already). As far as celebrity engagement rings go, Dianna’s round brilliant diamond is certainly a head-turner. The ultra-simple solitaire design is made all the more eye-catching with what appears to be a unique rubover setting in yellow gold.

Dianna Agron’s engagement ring is estimated to be around 5 carats.
How much is Diana Agron's engagement ring worth?

If Dianna Agron’s contemporary engagement ring takes your fancy, check out Queensmith’s Darrieux rubover solitaire ring design. When it comes to the Darrieux engagement ring, our goldsmiths work the metal reflectivity to give the illusion of a larger, lighter and brighter centre diamond, as a rubover setting can sometimes affect the light play that usually allows for maximum sparkle. The Darrieux is chic and contemporary, just like Diana’s effortless style.
6. Hailey Bieber’s Engagement Ring
In July 2018, Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey Baldwin with an oval cut diamond engagement ring with a simple 18k yellow gold band. The engagement ring is an elegant and classic design, perfectly complementing Hailey's style.

7. Paris Hilton’s Engagement Ring
In 2021, Carter Reum proposed to hotel heiress Paris Hilton with a beautiful and quite unusual diamond ring. The celebrity engagement ring features a mega emerald cut diamond in the centre with baguette diamonds on either side and smaller diamond embellishments, set on a platinum band.
The ring's unique design draws inspiration from the Grand Palais in Paris, incorporating classic Art Nouveau and glass ceiling motifs into the structure, adding an architectural and romantic touch. The emerald cut diamond sits nestled within a setting that mirrors the splendour of French artistry and craftsmanship, making it a symbol not only of love but of timeless elegance and heritage.

8. Emma Louise Connolly’s Engagement Ring
Emma Louisa Connolly’s engagement ring is one of the most unique and unusual engagement rings we've seen in a while. Made in Chelsea star Oliver Proudlock designed a bespoke engagement ring using diamonds from his Grandmother's collection. The colourful number features a green and black diamond halo with gorgeous Art Deco appeal, surrounding a large old mine cut diamond.
Proudlock’s decision to recreate a vintage-inspired engagement ring is genius – a personal, characterful and totally individual gesture. A great way to achieve an Art Deco look is with geometric shapes – check out the Classic Faye with an emerald cut diamond if you don't believe us.
9. Emily Ratajkowski’s Engagement Ring

10. Molly Mae Hague’s Engagement Ring
Molly Mae Hague’s engagement ring is a striking testament to timeless sophistication and contemporary flair – a vibe that perfectly matches her aesthetic. Gracing her engagement ring finger is a magnificent oval cut diamond set on a platinum, or white gold, diamond band that exudes modern elegance. The choice of an oval cut adds a touch of uniqueness among celebrity engagement rings. Oval cuts are also famed for lengthening the wearer’s finger and looking much larger than other diamond shapes.
How much is Molly Mae’s engagement ring worth?
If the diamond is natural, Queensmith experts estimate Molly Mae's ring to be worth around £400,000 – but this could be more like £20,000 to £40,000 if the diamond is a lab grown diamond, which is likely due to the scarcity of natural diamonds so large.
How many carats is Molly Mae’s engagement ring?
Molly Mae's oval diamond engagement ring looks to be around 5 carats, according to Queensmith experts.
11. Millie Bobby Brown's Engagement Ring
Millie Bobby Brown’s engagement ring has been kept lowkey since Jake Bongioivi proposed in April 2023. Despite the limited photos, our experts believe Millie wears a cushion cut halo engagement ring, complete with a diamond set band in platinum.
How much is Millie Bobby Brown’s engagement ring worth?
If Millie's engagement ring diamond is lab grown, the ring could be worth between £8,000 and £10,000 ($10,000 and $12,600 USD). Otherwise, it could be as high as £100,000 ($126,000 USD).
How many carats is Millie Bobby Brown’s engagement ring?
Millie Bobby Brown's engagement ring is estimated to be around 3 to 4 carats.
12. Jasmine Tooke's Engagement Ring

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s engagement rings are a masterclass in timeless elegance and evolving personal style – much like the model and actress herself. Her partner, actor Jason Statham, proposed in 2016 with a breathtaking round cut diamond set in platinum. The round cut remains the most iconic of all diamond shapes, celebrated for its unrivalled sparkle and classic appeal. Paired with a sleek diamond band, the ring epitomises sophistication while still letting the diamond itself take centre stage.
How much is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s engagement ring worth?
If natural and of high quality, Queensmith experts estimate Rosie’s round cut diamond ring to be worth well over £250,000. A comparable lab grown diamond ring of the same size and quality could cost around £30,000 to £40,000 – highlighting just how significant the price difference can be between natural vs lab grown diamonds.
How many carats is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s engagement ring?
Rosie’s original round brilliant diamond engagement ring is estimated at 5 carats. This cut is famed for its brilliance and fire, offering maximum sparkle from every angle.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s second pear cut engagement ring
Since the birth of her daughter Isabella in 2022, Rosie has often been seen wearing a striking tilted pear shaped diamond ring by British designer Jessica McCormack. Pear shaped diamonds offer a unique, elongated silhouette, blending the rounded curves of an oval with the sharp point of a marquise. The result is a graceful, feminine cut that feels contemporary yet classic – a natural fit for Rosie’s polished aesthetic.
