What Blake Lively’s engagement ring looks like
Lively’s engagement ring is a thing of beauty. Its oval cut diamond that clocks in at a whopping 12 carats. The flawless center stone is set in a thin, rose gold pave band that adds tasteful sparkle to the ring. Let’s break it down and look at what exactly makes this ring so special.
What we love about Blake Lively’s engagement ring
First thing’s first - let’s talk about how the setting is made of rose gold. Blake Lively was the first celebrity to have a rose gold engagement ring, so you could say she started the trend! Her rose gold setting complements the delicate pink hues of the diamond.
And while we’re talking about the diamond, we love the classic solitaire look of Blake Lively’s engagement ring. A solitaire setting allows the center stone to shine, and Lively’s 12 carat pink diamond center stone does just that.
Ever the attentive husband, Reynolds opted for an oval cut center stone because it’s more flattering on petite fingers like Lively’s than other cuts, like the round brilliant. The oval cut has had a popularity boost since Lively got engaged - once again, this couple is giving major trendsetting vibes!
It’s all in the details
A pave band adds a little extra “oomph” to this already jaw dropping ring. Tiny diamonds stud the circumference of the band, increasing the sparkle factor and complementing the brilliance of Lively’s hefty center stone.
Speaking of, we’ve got to shine a spotlight on the color of Lively’s center stone. The ring features a pale pink diamond - an extremely rare color in natural diamonds - making this ring a true work of art. Pink diamonds are romantic and unique, so this choice is perfect as a symbol of Reynolds’ and Lively’s love.
How to get the look
With a significant price tag of 2 million dollars, it’s no secret that Blake Lively’s engagement ring is a bit out of most people’s price range. But don’t let that dash your dreams of having an engagement ring that looks like hers. There are a few ways you can get her look without winning the lottery.

If the massive size of the center stone is what you love most about Lively’s ring, we’ve got great news for you. Choosing moissanite, an affordable diamond alternative, means you can ramp up the carats for a great price.

Keyzar offers oval cut diamonds in a variety of carat weights and at different price points, so you can find your perfect center stone no matter what you’re looking for.

Center stone inspo
