If Gabbriette's engagement announcement was unconventional— "I love being in love," she told Julia Hobbs in the August issue of British Vogue —then so too is the black diamond she's now sporting with a matching grebo manicure on her left hand. But then, a certain bucking of convention has become a theme of this year's celebrity engagements (or celebrity divorce, in one instance).

From Gabbriette's black diamond to a single EmRata's repurposed Trilogy ring, fall in (or out of) love with 2024's biggest celebrity engagement ring trends, below.

The internet is divided on the provenance of Gabbriette's engagement ring. Her fiancé Matty Healy's mother, TV presenter Denise Welch, has said it's a custom design, but other corners of the internet have directed fans to a 1stDibs jewelry listing. The stone in question—a whopper of a faceted black diamond encircled by pavé diamonds—also boasts three rows of diamonds on the ring's shank, and taps into Gabbriette's gothic proclivities (think butterfly motif and tribal tattoos and vintage Cesare Paciotti dagger boots), and couldn't be less traditional. At the start of 2024, British Vogue reported on the growing appetite for unusually colored diamonds and gemstones in engagement ring design. Look to London-based jeweler Rachel Boston for bespoke creations set with grey and "salt and pepper" diamonds.

"Putting this here before my mom tells everyone," Roberts captioned her engagement announcement Instagram post this month, alluding to the moment her mother revealed her pregnancy to a fan in an Instagram comment back in 2020. Indeed, Roberts's mum might have struggled to keep schtum about Emma's rock: a round-cut single diamond with a solitaire setting. The less-than-traditional twist? It's mounted on a chunkier-than-usual gold band. "Emma has opted for a thick gold band, which is an unconventional choice since most people favor a thin band in order to accentuate the size of their diamond. It's a timeless choice for an engagement ring, symbolic of eternal love," jeweler Zack Stone previously told Vogue .
