Celebrity Ringspo: Iconic Engagement Rings & How to Make the Look Yours

Hollywood proposals may be wrapped in flashlights and headlines, but at the heart of each is something deeply timeless: two people choosing forever. Whether it’s a quiet moment exchanged on a secluded beach or a grand gesture witnessed by the world’s media, celebrity engagement rings have long inspired trends, admiration, and aspiration.

 

From royalty to red-carpet royalty, A-list couples continue to redefine what luxury love looks like. Their engagement rings — often bold, symbolic, and impeccably designed — have captured global attention and influenced thousands of bespoke designs.

 

At Fergus James, you don’t need a movie deal or a monarchy to have an iconic ring, with thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship, and the right inspiration, you can create an engagement ring that reflects your story, style, and forever.

 

Below, we unveil the most talked-about celebrity engagement rings and share how you can reimagine their look through the lens of fine craftsmanship and bespoke luxury.

Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco: Vintage Romance with Modern Grace

One of the most exciting recent engagements, singer and actress Selena Gomez was proposed to by music producer Benny Blanco in December 2024. Known for her grounded elegance and timeless style, Selena’s engagement ring perfectly reflects her classic-meets-modern aesthetic.

The Ring

A marquise-shaped diamond set on pavé yellow gold shoulders. Slim, feminine, and vintage-inspired, with a fresh contemporary twist.

How to Make It Yours

The marquise diamond elongates the finger and offers a unique, sophisticated silhouette. Pair yours with a high-polish yellow gold band for warmth or opt for platinum for contrast. Add pavé diamond shoulders for delicate sparkle or choose a clean solitaire setting for minimal elegance.
