Love was in the air in 2024, as countless celebrities celebrated their engagements with dazzling rings that stole the spotlight. From bold colored gemstones to massive diamonds, these rings showcased creativity, personal style and a touch of extravagance. Whether created by renowned designers or family-owned jewelers, each ring tells a personal story. Here are the top 10 celebrity engagement rings of the year that left fans and jewelry enthusiasts in awe. 

1. Lady Gaga  

The star of stage and screen sported an oval-cut, 10- to 15-carat diamond on a pavé band this year at the Paris Olympics, officially confirming her engagement for the first time. Gaga’s fiancé, Michael Polansky, didn’t skimp on the show-stopping rock, with experts telling Page Six that the estimated value could land anywhere from $500,000 to $2 million.  

2. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco 

American music producer Benny Blanco cut no corners when it came to his proposal to Selena Gomez.  

Blanco collaborated with sisters Katherine Theofilos Claster and Stephanie Theofilos, the jewelers behind Abril Barret, to design a bespoke marquise-cut center stone with a cathedral setting and an oversized brilliant-cut eternity band.   

Ann Grimmett, vice president of merchandising for Jared Jewelers, told Us Magazine the rock was estimated at around 6 carats, with a price tag of $225,000.  

3. Nina Dobrev and Shaun White 

After five years together, Nina Dobrev and Shaun White announced their engagement in October of this year. White popped the question with a Lorraine Schwartz oval, 5-carat diamond atop a yellow gold band. It’s worth between $220,000 and $300,000, depending on the color, clarity and whether the stone is natural or synthetic.  

4. Kaley Cuoco  

Actress Kaley Cuoco’s engagement to fellow actor Tom Pelphrey was accompanied by a cushion-cut, 2.5-carat, colorless diamond flanked by two baguette, light-yellow diamonds and set in a yellow gold band. 

Cuoco announced the engagement on Instagram, thanking designer Shahla Karimi of Shahla Karimi Jewelry. Between the ring’s three diamonds, the total weight is estimated to be about 4 carats.  

5. Adele  

Grammy-winning singer Adele and sports agent, Rich Paul, announced their engagement in August after a three-year relationship.   

Adele said, “Yes!” to the eye-catching pear-shaped, approximately 10-carat natural-diamond ring featuring a Lorraine Schwartz pavé band and a claw setting. Depending on color grade and clarity, the ring is thought to be worth around $500,000.    

6. Emma Roberts  

This past summer, Emma Roberts revealed her engagement to fellow actor Cody John, showcasing a stunning old European-cut diamond from the family-owned Platt Boutique, guessed to be between 3.5 to 6 carats.  

The actress opted for a thick 18-karat gold band, an original choice, as most choose thin bands to accentuate the size of their stone. The rock itself is secured in a bezel setting and features intricate grooves, adding texture and playing with light in an interesting way.  

7. Ashanti and Nelly  

Highlighting another Lorraine Schwartz design, Ashanti’s engagement ring from singer and actor Nelly features an oval-cut diamond on a delicate band. 

The two, who initially dated from 2003 to 2013 before reuniting in 2023, finally decided to tie the knot earlier this year following a casual proposal while watching TV in bed.  

8. Gabbriette Bechtel and Matty Healy  

Matty Healy, frontman of band The 1975, popped the question to model and musician Gabbriette Bechtel with a distinctive ring that matches the couple’s personal style.  

The ring features a black diamond, estimated to be around 5 carats, set in an 18-karat gold band. The center stone is surrounded by a halo of pavé white diamonds, with additional diamonds adorning the split shank band, creating a striking contrast. 

9. Carly Rae Jepsen 

Grammy Award-winning music producer Cole M.G.N. got down on one knee for Canadian popstar Carly Rae Jepsen this September, asking the big question with a one-of-a-kind ring.  

The ring features a cushion-cut, 3-carat stone that observers have assessed is either a sapphire or spinel, in a classic solitaire setting, allowing the deep blue stone to take center stage. This nontraditional choice stands out among celebrity engagement rings, as most choose a diamond center stone.  

10. Vanessa Morgan and James Karnik 

Riverdale star Vanessa Morgan and Canadian basketball player James Karnik became engaged earlier this month at the Langley Glow lights festival in Canada. 

Karnik presented Morgan with a custom-designed Secret Butterfly Garden Ring from Brilliant Earth, featuring an oval-cut, 4.64-carat lab-grown diamond set in a rose gold band. The ring’s design includes marquise-cut diamond butterflies, symbolizing transformation and beauty, which hold special significance for Morgan.
