When it comes to celebrity engagement rings, few are as highly anticipated as pop icon and Fenty Beauty founder Rihanna's engagement ring. With her signature style that blurs the lines between glamour and rebellion, and fresh from the birth of her third baby – a daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers, born on 13th September 2025 – it’s safe to say Rihanna is entering a whole new era. Marriage rumours with long-time partner and rapper A$AP Rocky have been bubbling for years, and if an engagement is on the horizon, one thing’s for sure: Rihanna's engagement ring will make a statement.
From dramatic shapes to unapologetically bold designs, our gemmologists and ring experts have put together three custom engagement ring designs we believe capture Rihanna’s fearless spirit, red carpet confidence and next-level taste.
Prediction 1: Oversized pear cut with diamond band
For someone who’s never been one to shy away from the spotlight, we imagine Rihanna’s engagement ring would feature a head-turning oversized pear cut diamond, we're thinking around 15 carats.
Set on a platinum band lined with dazzling diamonds, this design is all about that bold and sculptural silhouette. Pear cuts naturally elongate the finger, while their tear-drop shape offers just the right amount of softness, making this style both powerful and elegant. It’s the kind of ring that doesn’t need to be explained – it just owns the room, much like Rihanna herself.
Why it suits Rihanna: Pear cut engagement rings are a celebrity favourite, often chosen for their dramatic flair and ability to stand out. A design of this scale would nod to Rihanna’s love of fashion-forward maximalism, but in a fine jewellery context. Luxe, modern and absolutely headline-worthy.
Prediction 2: Marquise cut with a demi-bezel setting
An unexpected shape with razor-sharp edge, we could totally see Rihanna wearing a marquise cut diamond, set in a sleek demi-bezel that allows light to flood the stone while keeping it snug and secure. Pair that with a platinum or white gold band, fully encrusted with marquise diamonds for that extra edge, and the look is effortlessly cool.
The marquise cut, with its elongated curves and pointed tips, is bold without being too traditional, which feels very Rihanna. The demi-bezel modernises the shape, while the all-over diamond band adds that flash of extravagance we know she loves.
We’ve seen the marquise diamond have a real revival in recent years, thanks to celebrities embracing the shape. Selena Gomez’s engagement ring, featuring a striking marquise diamond, showed just how contemporary and fashion-forward this vintage-inspired cut can feel, and Rihanna’s take on the style would undoubtedly push it into even bolder territory.
Why it suits Rihanna: Marquise diamonds are made for risk-takers. They're far from typical, and in a setting this sharp, the result is clean, contemporary and just a little bit futuristic – a perfect match for someone who constantly redefines the rules.
Prediction 3: Old mine cut with unique sculptural band
For this final concept, we’ve imagined something more unconventional: an antique-style old mine cut diamond paired with a bespoke, sculptural band. We're thinking flowing curves, asymmetry and clusters of diamonds nestled into the metalwork.
Old mine cuts are full of personality – slightly imperfect, impossibly charming and packed with fire. Just take a look at Taylor Swift's engagement ring for the perfect example. Combined with a unique band inspired by organic, almost architectural forms, this ring would feel as much a piece of art as it is fine jewellery.
Why it suits Rihanna: It’s a ring with history, soul and individuality. Rihanna has a soft spot for unique fashion and storytelling through style, and an unusual diamond like this, with an eye-catching one-of-a-kind setting, ticks every box.
Whether she opts for oversized glamour, a futuristic shape or something completely unexpected, Rihanna’s engagement ring is bound to be one of the most talked-about celebrity engagement rings in years. And with a new baby in her arms and a new chapter ahead, what better time to start the next part of her love story?
