When it comes to engagement rings, celebrities often set the trends — from Hailey Bieber’s oval-cut sparkler to Meghan Markle’s timeless three-stone ring. But while these A-list designs may come with red-carpet price tags, you don’t need a celebrity budget to get the look.

At Glor Jewellery in Toronto, we specialize in creating custom engagement rings that channel star-worthy style — without the Hollywood markup. Whether you're dreaming of Blake Lively’s pink diamond ring or Ariana Grande’s unique pearl-accented design, we’ll help you bring that vision to life with ethical materials, personalized service, and real-world pricing.

How to Get a Celebrity-Inspired Ring Without Breaking the Bank

1. Start with the Shape, Not the Size

Many celebrity engagement rings feature large carat stones, but you don’t need a massive diamond to capture the same look. Focus on the cut and style instead:

  • Oval cut (Hailey Bieber, Kourtney Kardashian): Elongates the finger and appears larger per carat.

  • Emerald cut (Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé): Sleek, elegant, and vintage-inspired.

  • Pear cut (Ariana Grande): Unique and flattering with lots of personality.

  • Three-stone setting (Meghan Markle): Symbolizes your past, present, and future.

We can help you maximize brilliance and presence by selecting well-cut stones and thoughtful settings that highlight their beauty — without going oversized.

2. Choose Alternative Gemstones or Lab-Grown Diamonds

Looking to make a bold statement without the premium price? Consider these options:

  • Moissanite: An ethical, affordable diamond alternative that offers high sparkle and durability.

  • Lab-grown diamonds: Identical to mined diamonds but up to 40% less expensive.

  • Sapphires, morganites, or colored stones: Inspired by Kate Middleton’s iconic sapphire ring, colored gems are a stylish and affordable option.

3. Simplify the Setting, Keep the Glam

A lot of celebrity rings feature intricate pavé bands or custom halos, but a simplified version can offer the same elegance with a smaller price tag.

At Glor Jewellery, we work with you to recreate the feel of a high-end design using smart choices — for example:

  • Using fewer accent stones for a similar visual effect

  • Opting for 14k gold instead of platinum to reduce cost

  • Customizing the ring to your budget without sacrificing beauty

4. Custom Design = Maximum Impact, Minimum Cost

Here’s a secret: many off-the-shelf rings at major retailers carry markup that you can avoid by going custom.

At Glor Jewellery, we offer affordable custom engagement rings in Toronto, designed one-on-one with Tanya, our in-house designer and second-generation jeweller. We help you:

  • Define your budget

  • Choose the right stone and metal

  • Design a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by the stars — and your love story
