Are delicate engagement rings out? Well, not necessarily, but we are seeing an exciting new trend that may turn the tide—custom engagement rings featuring cigar band designs! What are they? Well, like the name says, the band itself is about the same width (or wider) than the metallic band around a cigar. And while the band certainly makes a statement, opting for a cigar band engagement ring doesn’t mean forgoing the traditional diamond centerpiece. On the contrary, we find that these custom cigar band rings double down on the size (and quantity) of the diamonds as well. We love this modern take on traditional engagement rings and how it’s more practical for everyday wear. Pair it with an equally substantial diamond eternity band or with a delicate pave band to lighten the stack. When it comes to diamonds and precious metals, you really can’t go wrong.
Still think delicate is the way to go? Check out these insanely beautiful hidden halo rings or some of our favorites for National Proposal Day!
1. Double the diamonds
We love how many of these cigar band rings feature more than one diamond. This fresh take on the tu et moi ring is so bold and modern–perfect for today’s brides.
2. Beauty and substance
The width of the band and the oval shape of the diamond soften the impact of this truly gigantic rock. It’s serving bling but not too in your face. We also love the delicate band it’s paired with.
3. Negative space
The negative space in this cool ring is giving us all the positive vibes. This is definitely one of those engagement rings that even complete strangers will comment on.
4. Front and center
This unique ring has so much going for it, the hexagonal cut of the diamond and the non-traditional placement set it apart from the crowd.
5. The tie that binds
Loving the symbolism in this band that’s being held together by a delicate marquise-cut diamond.
6. emerald-cut perfection
Perfect for the bride who is all about minimalism and is always effortlessly chic, this emerald-cut cigar band engagement ring is modern and timeless all at once.
7. A hint of color
Cigar band engagement rings aren’t just for diamond lovers, they come in all shapes, cuts, and colors. We love this Aquamarine ring by Kasia Jewelry.
8. To infinity and beyond
Another one with some beautiful symbolism, two trillion cut diamonds pointing towards your past and your future merge together forever.
9. toi et moi
