Hailey Bieber’s Oval-Cut Engagement Ring Sparked a Global Trend in Diamond Solitaires

When Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey Baldwin in 2018, he didn’t go with something loud or unconventional. Instead, he chose a timeless oval-cut solitaire diamond, set on a plain gold band — and the jewelry world hasn’t been the same since.

The ring has remained one of the most copied celebrity engagement rings of the last five years, leading countless brides-to-be to search for the same understated but stunning style.

Ring Details: Understated Elegance

Jeweler Solow & Co. designed the piece, which features:

• 6–10 carat oval-cut diamond, estimated near flawless

• GIA-certified, likely D–E color, IF clarity

• 18k yellow gold solitaire band with cathedral setting

• No pavé or halo — just pure, minimal brilliance

• Estimated value: $500,000+

The simplicity is the magic — a single, showstopping stone doing all the work.

Why the Ring Went Viral

At a time when many celebrity rings were bold and unconventional, Hailey’s ring felt refreshing — classic, editorial, and easy to wear. It quickly became one of the most requested ring styles in the NYC Diamond District.

It also inspired a flood of oval-cut ring searches, pushing this shape to the top of bridal charts year after year.

The Diamond District’s Most Requested Style

Today, jewelers throughout 44 W 47th Street report the oval solitaire with gold band is their #1 custom request — especially among younger buyers wanting something timeless but modern.

Some versions now include lab grown diamonds, hidden halos, or tapered baguette side stones, but the original Hailey Bieber style still leads the trend.
