If diamonds are the engagement ring MVP, then colored gemstones are the unsung heros. Whether it's a vintage-esque ruby surrounded by a halo like Katy Perry's sparkler, or a massive round-cut sapphire like Gwyneth Paltrow's, We love colored gemstones and love sharing some bridal inspo for the bride who loves to stand out from the crowd.

Megan Fox

In the first month of 2022 Machine gun Kelly proposed to Megan Fox with a two stone emerald and diamond ring. The two pear cut stones are meant to represent two halves of a heart and are held together by magnets.

As part of her 15-ring collection Victoria actually has three stunning colored gemstones: a ruby, an emerald and a sapphire. She debuted this cushion-cut emerald with diamond rope band in 2014.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Although she doesn't wear it often, Paltrow has given the world very brief glimpses at her massive round-cut sapphire. It's one of those OMG rings you can stare at for hours.

Scarlett Johansson

While it's not a colored gemstone, colored diamonds are a statement all their own, and thus, we think this one makes the cut! After getting engaged to comedian Colin Jost in 2019, Scarlett Johansson debuted this 11-carat light brown elongated oval diamond set on a black ceramic band. She states in an interview that with this being her third engagement and thus her third engagement ring, she wanted to be sure to get exactly what she wanted. She couldn't be happier with how her ring turned out! A lesson for all of us on the importance of getting exactly what we want in an engagement ring. It could be our only go at it.

The child-actress turned fashion designer is known for her unique taste in style, and her engagement ring is no exception. Her fiance, banker Olivier Sarkozy, proposed to her with a vintage Cartier ring, displaying a 4 carat diamond center stone surrounded by 16 blue sapphires. A super unique alternative if you can't decide between a colored gemstone or a diamond. Get Both!

Longoria’s husband Jose Antonio Baston picked out a round cut ruby surrounded by a halo of brilliant white diamonds. The design may be simple but it is wrought in elegance. It is a gemstone engagement ring done right.
