Celebrity news of a new engagement ring or wedding ring on the scene can often times help give inspiration for what people are envisioning for their own personal choice when selecting their own jewellery.
You might not want the exact same look as a celebrity, but the ideas behind those designs can influence the different styles of wedding rings that appeal to you.
Revival of the ‘old mine’
Old mine diamonds have crept back into the spotlight thanks to celebrities choosing rings with softer, hand‑cut profiles. Unlike modern precision cuts, these stones show small quirks in shape that give them charm and individuality.
Fans of Taylor Swift’s Georgian‑style engagement ring, for example, might appreciate how these cuts create a warm glow rather than a stark, white sparkle. If you prefer jewellery that feels personal and slightly nostalgic, this revival makes it easier to find stones that tell a story rather than aiming for technical perfection.
Shopping for something similar doesn’t require a huge budget. Antique‑inspired retailers now offer these styles of diamonds in smaller carat sizes that still carry that candlelit look.
Bold bands and ‘cigar’ styles
Chunky gold bands, often called cigar bands, have become a favourite among celebrities who want their rings to make a stronger design statement. Instead of relying on a large central diamond, these bands use weight, shape and metal colour to create impact. They suit anyone who wants a clean, modern look without something overly delicate.
You can adapt the idea easily. Trying on a few wider bands helps you figure out what feels comfortable day to day. You’ll notice how the width changes the balance on your hand and how the metal colour shifts the overall mood. Pairing a wider band with existing wedding rings also works surprisingly well, especially if you like the look of stacked jewellery with mixed textures.
Elongated silhouettes and ‘east‑west’ settings
Celebrities have revived the elongated shapes of wedding rings such as ovals, long cushions and emerald cuts, but the east-west setting – where the stone is sat horizontally, takes the spotlight with the buzz around Zendaya’s east‑west ring, as it offers something familiar yet visually refreshing.
If you like the idea of having a standout design without having to go too bold, the east-west option can strike the perfect balance for this. It lengthens the appearance of your finger and gives the ring a sleeker and chic, contemporary style.
The marquise comeback
The marquise cut once had a reputation, whether you loved it or hated it. But some celebrities like Selena Gomez have helped to shift this reputation into the spotlight. With its pointed shape, it creates a strong, elegant line that has the appeal to those who want a ring to feel vintage, yet slightly dramatic. When set in a thinner band, the marquise cut can take on a softer, modern character, which is something that isn’t always expected from people, with it being an older cut.
