Celebrity Rings
We admit it, every time a celebrity gets engaged we immediately want to see the ring-since famous couples have nearly infinite options it’s intriguing to see what they choose, and they often wind up setting trends for the rest of us!
At Brilliant Earth we are always happy to hear that a famous couple has made an ethical choice, whether with an antique ring, recycled precious metal, or an ethically sourced gemstone. These are some celebrity engagement rings that combine beauty and luxury with conscience:
George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin
She’s a human rights lawyer, and he’s an A-list actor who’s almost as well known for activism on behalf of the Darfur region of Sudan as he is for his films. So it’s no surprise that her breathtaking 7+ carat diamond engagement ring was reportedly made with ethically mined diamonds. No details have been released on whether the diamonds were simply Kimberley Process-approved or held to a more stringent standard like our Beyond Conflict Free Guarantee-but we hope it’s the latter. No details have been released on the newlyweds’ wedding rings, but photos reveal them to be simple, elegant bands.
Natalie Portman
She’s a vegan and social activist, so we would expect nothing less for Natalie Portman than an engagement ring made of eco-friendly recycled platinum and conflict-free diamonds. Her glamorous ring features a 4-carat round center stone surrounded by a double halo of pavé diamonds.
Scarlett Johansson
This bombshell’s engagement ring is an antique from the Art Deco era. The long, rectangular ring features three bezel set diamonds surrounded by glittering diamond accents, and exudes quintessential 1920s style. Vintage engagement rings are always an ethical choice, since they require no new mining and have nearly zero environmental impact.
Penelope Cruz
Spanish actor Javier Bardem is known for his humanitarian activism, and the vintage engagement ring he gave Penelope Cruz reflects his values. It’s an oval sapphire surrounded by a halo of diamonds that create a floral effect.
Alicia Silverstone
Actress and author Alicia Silvertone is well-known for her environmental activism, so it’s fitting that her engagement ring required no new mining-husband Christopher Jarecki proposed with his late grandmother’s ring.
