Dazzling Celebrity Engagement Rings of 2023—So Far

Since we are almost at the midpoint of 2023, here is a recap of some of our favorite sparklers from the first part of the year. Although oval-shaped diamonds have been trending among celebrities, the enduring classic—the round brilliant cut solitaire—continues to reign supreme as a top favored choice for engagement rings. Prepare for the bling!

Rita Ora

In early February, New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi proposed to English singer and songwriter Rita Ora with a sizable emerald engagement ring in a pavé diamond bezel setting. Following the proposal, he gifted his new wife a delicate wedding band at a private wedding ceremony. When asked about her ring, Ora revealed that she guided her then fiancé and expressed her strong desire to be with him, emphasizing the importance of making the decision feel right. Ora then candidly admitted that she might have accompanied him to the store and indicated the exact ring she had in mind.

​Allison Williams

In early March, actress Allison Williams debuted an impressive engagement ring from her fiancé, German actor Alexander Dreymon at the Oscars. The couple met in 2019 and share a son, named Arlo, who was born in 2021. Williams’ ring is a classic round-cut diamond solitaire on a yellow-gold band. No word on the carat size, but the diamond looks quite substantial.

Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth and Justin Long sparked dating rumors in 2020 and finally confirmed their relationship publicly in April 2022. They made their relationship public by officially announcing their partnership on Instagram in May of the same year. Kate Bosworth and Justin Long marked their red carpet debut as a couple at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. However, it wasn't just their well-dressed presence that caught everyone's attention. What captured onlookers' gazes was the diamond ring adorning Bosworth's finger. While posing alongside her partner, Bosworth proudly wore the dazzling diamond, which happened to be the sole piece of jewelry adorning her hands. Neither Bosworth nor Long mentioned anything about an engagement during the event, leaving fans and observers curious about the ring's significance. As of early May, it was confirmed that the couple are now married. Diamond experts speculate that Kate’s diamond ring which is a classic round-cut diamond solitaire on a yellow-gold band, could be at least 10 carats with an estimated value of around 500K. 

Millie Bobby Brown

The 19-year-old star of Netflix's smash hit series Stranger Things announced her engagement to 20-year-old Jake Bongiovi, the son of renowned musician Jon Bon Jovi on April 11, 2023. The couple, who have been in a relationship for approximately two years, made an Instagram post to discreetly hint at their engagement. Sharing a black and white photo on Brown's account, the Stranger Things actress can be seen wearing a white lace dress and displaying a sizable ring on the fourth finger of her left hand, while being lovingly embraced by Bongiovi. Brown captioned her IG post with lyrics from Taylor Swift's song, "Lover," expressing her heartfelt emotions by writing, "I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all." According to jewelry experts, Brown’s engagement ring appears to be a cushion-cut diamond on a yellow gold band. The diamond is estimated to be as large as 5 carats and could be worth close to $150,000, depending on the diamond’s quality.

Vanessa Hudgens

The actress and singer, who recently became engaged to American professional baseball shortstop Cole Tucker, initially unveiled her engagement ring on Instagram on February 9th, sharing a series of photos alongside her baseball player partner. The couple's engagement, which occurred approximately two years after they began dating, took Hudgens by surprise, even though she anticipated the moment would come eventually. Hudgens and Tucker first sparked speculation about their relationship in November 2020 when they were spotted holding hands in Los Angeles. The couple first connected through a Zoom meditation group call, and Hudgens later shared that she took the initiative to make the first move. Hudgens’ oval-shaped diamond engagement ring, set on a yellow gold band, is estimated to be between 5-7 carats and worth about $150,000-$200,000.
