8 Celebrity Engagement Rings You Need to See

It’s not just Amal Clooney’s wedding dress that is making waves. The emerald-cut diamond engagement ring that George gave her has fellow wannabe brides clamoring for a similar setting. “The emerald cut has always been seen as very royal thanks to Grace Kelly and now Amal Clooney,” explains Sigel. “This cut has a very glamorous look and feel.”Inset: Harry Winston emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, with 2.13-carat center stone, and tapered baguette side stones set in platinum

Ever since Ryan Reynolds gave Blake Lively a light pink oval diamond set in rose gold, the style has been gaining popularity. “Her ring is set in a micro-pave band making it incredibly delicate and feminine,” says Sigel. And for women who think their fingers are on the shorter side, an oval center stone will elongate your finger.Inset: Forevermark 14.58-carat oval diamond and 1.56-carat pear-shaped sidestones set in platinum

The most popular shape for decades, the round or brilliant diamond is a timeless cut that has recently been seen on Mila Kunis, Lauren Conrad, and Allison Williams. “A round cut makes a diamond appear larger and can be set in endless ways,” explains Sigel. “It will never go out of style.”Inset: Monique Lhuillier pavé leaf diamond engagement ring

A halo, or pavé, of diamonds set around a center stone will create a larger looking stone. “So many engagement rings, including Natalie Portman’s, have been designed with a halo setting. It’s now being viewed as a very classic design,” says Sigel.Inset: De Beers Aura Solitaire Ring

When Prince William slipped his mom’s sapphire-and-diamond ring on Kate Middleton’s finger in 2010, colored gemstones became wildly popular as an alternative to diamonds. “Fashion-forward brides like Olivia Palermo and Olivia Wilde are choosing colored diamonds and gemstones as their center stone, side stones or on the band,” says Sigel.

If you’re concerned about how your engagement ring and wedding band will fit together on your left hand, you may want to select a design that features a diamond pavé band, similar in style to Reese Witherspoon’s and Emily Blunt’s engagement rings. “Instead of choosing a simple gold or platinum setting, jewelers are creating rings with center stones set on an all diamond band,” says Sigel. “A pavé setting for your engagement ring will sit beautifully next to an identical pavé wedding band.”Inset: Alexandra Mor radiant-cut diamond engagement ring with a 3-k center stone, 1mm knife-edged wire, and 1mm ‘floating’ diamond melee, set in platinum around an inner band of 1mm 18-k yellow gold

“Vintage-inspired engagement rings are on the rise,” Sigel tells Yahoo Style. If you can’t find an antique ring that you love, talk to your jeweler about possibly designing one that looks vintage or has vintage-esque details such as a pavé setting. Nicole Richie’s rock has an antique feel. Inset: Neil Lane bezel-set Asscher-cut diamond and platinum engagement ring
