Looking to spark bridal shopping inspiration? Look no further than celebrities’ sparklers.
After all, from Meghan Markle’s sentimental stones to Sofia Richie’s emerald-cut stunner and Gabrielle Union’s 8.5-carat solitaire, superstar couples spare no expense on their jaw-dropping engagement rings.
But while most famous folks commission A-list jewelers for custom designs, you won’t need a diamond pro on speed dial to take cues from celebs.
Below, we’ve broken down some of the best places to purchase star-worthy engagement rings online — from Blue Nile‘s bestsellers to Catbird‘s delicate designs.
Best Oval: Blue Nile Riviera Pavé Diamond Engagement Ring
There are plenty of ways to put an A-list-worthy ring on it at Blue Nile, a retailer known for its sweeping selection of both natural and lab-grown diamonds. And while the brand offers several ways to custom-make your dream design with a variety of cuts, colors and carat counts, this stunning oval-shaped option bears a striking resemblance to several stars’ engagement rings.
Materials: Pavé diamonds set in 14k white gold | Sizing: 3.0 to 9.0 | Shipping: Free secure shipping within the US and to 40 countries internationally
Best Sapphire: Grown Brilliance Created Sapphire and Lab-Grown Diamond Halo Engagement Ring
Just call it a dead ring-er for a royal jewel. Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton with an unconventional sapphire stone previously worn by his late mother, Princess Diana, during her engagement to Prince Charles. And while we can’t all access royal archives, this Grown Brilliance design looks incredibly similar, right down to the diamond halo.
Materials: Lab-created sapphire, 14k white gold and lab-grown diamonds | Sizing: 3.0 to 11.0 | Shipping: Free shipping
Best Three Stone: Ring Concierge Baguette Side-Stones Ring
This timeless Ring Concierge design comes in oval, round, emerald and radiant cuts and calls to mind Meghan Markle’s classic three-stone engagement ring.
“The ring is yellow gold, because that’s [her] favorite, and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana, and the little diamonds either side are from my mother’s jewelry collection to make sure that she’s with us on this — on this crazy journey together,” Prince Harry told the BBC of the special sparkle during a post-engagement interview in 2017.

Best Split Shank: Grown Brilliance x Badgley Mischka Emerald Lab-Grown Diamond Split Shank Engagement Ring
Beyoncé stopped being a single lady for good in 2007, when Jay-Z proposed with a jaw-dropping 18-carat emerald-cut Lorraine Schwartz ring featuring a split shank setting and pavé diamonds encircling the band.
For a similar look, consider this stunner from Grown Brilliance.
Materials: 18k white gold and lab-grown diamonds | Sizing: 3.0 to 11.0 | Shipping: Free shipping, made to order
Best Emerald: Catbird The Grand Swan Solitaire Supreme Emerald Lab-Grown Diamond Ring
Long before her wedding sparked an uptick in the quiet luxury trend, Sofia Riche said yes to a similarly elegant emerald-cut ring from fiancé Elliot Grainge.
And while multiple sources estimated it’s worth upwards of $100,000, this delicate design from celeb favorite Catbird lends a similar look for far less.
Materials: Lab-grown diamonds and recycled solid 14k gold | Sizing: 3.0 to 12.0 | Shipping: Two-day delivery for $6 or free in-store pickup in NYC
Best Pear: Vrai The Signature Pair Engagement Ring
Come on Barbie, let’s get engaged. Margot Robbie’s ring from husband Tom Ackerley is a delicate pear-shaped piece similar to this timeless Vrai design.
Materials: 18k yellow gold and lab-grown diamonds | Sizing: 3.0 to 13.0 | Shipping: Free shipping
Best Pavé: Brilliant Earth Tacori Founder’s Diamond Engagement Ring
Perhaps the most popular diamond cut among stars? Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson and Olivia Culpo (to name but a few) all wear custom ovals — but you won’t need a Hollywood budget to treat your loved one to the same look.
Materials: 18k yellow gold and lab-grown diamonds | Sizing: 3.0 to 13.0 | Shipping: Free shipping
Best Toi et Moi: Bloomingdale’s Fine Collection Lab-Grown Pear & Emerald Cut Toi Et Moi Engagement Ring
Toi et moi is French for “you and me,” making these two-stone treasures especially meaningful. While Megan Fox famously has one set with her and Machine Gun Kelly’s birthstones, everyone from Jackie Kennedy to Ariana Grande has worn similar styles.
Materials: 18k white gold and lab-grown diamonds | Sizing: 5.0 to 8.0 | Shipping: Free shipping
Best Round: James Allen White Gold Petite Pavé Crown Diamond Engagement Ring
You can’t go wrong with a classic round diamond. Just ask Emily Blunt, who said “I do” to John Krasinski wearing a circular 3-carat stone set in platinum.
Materials: 18k yellow gold and lab-grown diamonds | Sizing: 3.0 to 13.0 | Shipping: Free shipping
Best Cushion: Zales Essentials Lab-Created Diamond Cushion-Shaped Frame Engagement Ring
Gabrielle Union’s 8.5-carat cushion-cut diamond from Dwyane Wade made so many headlines, she told Only Natural Damonds she initially was “terrified to wear it in public without a full armed security detail.”
For bling that’s a bit more budget-friendly (and doesn’t come with a bodyguard), Zales offers more affordable options in similar cuts.
Materials: 14k white gold and lab-created diamonds | Sizing: 6.0 to 8.0 | Shipping: Free expedited shipping
FAQ
What should you keep in mind when buying a ring online?
While great prices and gorgeous design details have a nice ring to them, Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, tells Page Six Style he recommends prioritizing stone quality and certifications above all else.
“Make sure the diamond has a certificate from GIA or IGI laboratories,” he says. “There is no point in discussing details such as color, clarity or value if you don’t know that the quality claims are correct.”
What diamond shapes are trending?
While oval- and pear-shaped diamonds have been trending lately, Fried says “you can never go wrong with the timeless classic” — a round-shaped stone.
Lab-grown diamonds have also “surged in popularity” in recent years as the prices dropped, says the jewelry pro — although he notes many still “prefer to stick with natural diamonds, as they have a traditional allure to them.”
Should you get insurance on an engagement ring?
“Absolutely, but make sure you purchase a policy that offers a payment in case of loss/damage,” recommends Fried. “It can be frustrating having the insurance company try to replace the ring for you.”
