There was no shortage of celebrity brilliance this year as well.
This year saw Taylor Swift, Zendaya, Dua Lipa, and many others get engaged or show off their rings, and each sparkler was even more dazzling than the last. In particular, Swift made waves with Travis Kelsey’s unique Old Mine cut, which sparked a massive engagement ring trend.
Cushion-cut rings have also emerged as a big trend, with Miley Cyrus, Zendaya, Claudia Sulewski and more jumping on board with the diamond shape, which resembles a pillow with rounded corners.
Here are all the most memorable celebrity sparklers of 2025.

Decalin “DK” Metcalf was “very involved” in creating the four-carat sparkler he proposed to Normani. The two announced their engagement on March 13th.
Jason Arasheven, celebrity jeweler and founder of the Jason of Beverly Hills jewelry brand, tells PEOPLE that the NFL star had a very specific vision for the ring.
Metcalfe had her heart set on an oval-cut diamond, and after a three-week design process with Arasheben, they ended up with a four-carat stone with approximately one carat worth of diamonds surrounding the ring in an 18-carat white gold setting.
“He was very intentional with every little design element,” Arasheven said. “He wanted to be involved in the process. He wanted to see how the ring was put together. He wanted to have creative input on the back of the ring, the look of the basket, every detail. Even though the ring looked simple, there was a lot of detail that went into it, and he was involved in every decision.”
