Miley And Taylor: The Queens Who Shattered The Skinny Ring Trend!

A New Era in Engagement Rings

In a world where celebrities lead the charge on style, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift are blazing a new trail in the world of engagement rings. These pop powerhouses have ditched the dainty for the daring, embracing chunky, eye-catching designs that are all the rage for 2025. With diamonds that sparkle in non-traditional cuts and gold-forward designs, these stars are setting the stage for a renaissance in engagement bling.

Breaking the Mold in Celebrity Style

Nishit Mehta, the diamond guru behind La Joya Jewelry, explains how both Cyrus and Swift have "literally killed" the minimalist ring trend. In a bold move, Miley Cyrus flaunted her chunky, 14-karat yellow-gold, east-west cushion-cut diamond ring at the premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift's old mine-cut engagement ring serenades the past with its vintage allure.

“By choosing indie designer Kindred Lubeck over luxury brands, Taylor signaled a return to soulful, handmade craftsmanship,” says Mehta.

These choices echo through the industry, with more and more people opting for rings that feel substantial and meaningful.

Trend Forecast: What’s Next?

Fast forward to 2026, and the trend for engagement rings is all about making a statement. According to Mehta, gone are the days of intricate halos or pavé decorations. Instead, the spotlight is on bold, high-quality solitaires paired with substantial gold settings. Buyers are increasingly seeking Bezel settings, elongated cushion cuts, and oval-shaped diamonds, all heavily set in luxurious yellow-gold bands.

Stars and Lab-Grown Diamonds

Celebrities are also playing a pivotal role in reshaping the diamond industry. Mehta notes a significant shift towards lab-grown diamonds, once seen as an economical alternative but now celebrated for their ethical and intelligent appeal. High-profile endorsements from stars like Penélope Cruz and Leonardo DiCaprio have positioned these man-made gems as a symbol of modern values and intellect.

“It's not about how much you paid or how big your diamond is anymore. It’s really about your morals and what you believe in,” Mehta says.

With customers eager to emulate stars like Zendaya and DiCaprio, the demand for lab-grown diamonds has skyrocketed, signaling a shift in consumer priorities and a new era in fine jewelry.
