Liam Hemsworth’s Engagement Ring — Vintage Style with Modern Edge

Celebrity engagements always feel like a stage where romance and luxury meet. When a star proposes, the ring becomes part of their already-illustrious story. Even before the proposal photos light up your Instagram feed, you can picture the moment of surprise, the sparkle of the huge diamond, and the dazzling design worth six figures.

That’s exactly what happened when Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth asked longtime girlfriend Gabriella Brooks to marry him. Although the couple has yet to confirm where and how he proposed, the engagement ring became an instant sensation: the elongated cushion cut diamond, set in an east-west orientation, echoed Taylor Swift’s already-legendary ring while the yellow gold bezel setting reignited a passion for vintage-style bridal jewelry. In this guide, we’ll reveal the details of this trendsetting engagement ring and how you can get something just as spectacular at Keyzar.

Liam Hemsworth’s Engagement Ring: Everything You Want to Know

Liam Hemsworth chose an engagement ring which, according to People, taps into the shift toward “vintage glamor with a fresh, modern edge.” At its center sits an elongated cushion cut diamond, estimated between 4.5 and 5 carats. Noting its near-flawless sparkle, gemologists interviewed by the celebrity press estimated the diamond’s quality at VS2 clarity and H color.

The setting takes that brilliance even further. Described as a luxurious bezel in 18K gold, it positions the diamond in an east-west orientation, turning a classic cut into something red-carpet ready. The craftsmanship of the solitaire bezel setting, which emphasizes the center stone and the substantial carat size have led experts to estimate the ring’s value at around $150,000. People acknowledged it as representative of a rising demand for bezel settings, chunkier cuts, and gold-forward styles.

The Vintage Appeal of Elongated Cushion Diamonds

The elongated cushion cut has long been prized for its romantic glow. With rounded corners and a stretched silhouette, it reflects light in a way that recalls candlelit evenings and antique jewelry cases. Unlike the sharp brilliance of a modern round or princess cut, the cushion’s softened facets create warmth and depth, giving the diamond an old-world character that feels instantly timeless.

For Gabriella Brooks, the cut underscores the ring’s vintage spirit without sacrificing size or presence. It shows that a diamond doesn’t need an innovative shape or razor-sharp angles to command attention: sometimes the most glamorous sparkle is the one that feels romantic, refined, and touched by history.

Why the East-West Setting Stands Out

The east-west orientation gives Liam Hemsworth’s engagement ring its unmistakable edge. Instead of setting the elongated cushion vertically along the finger, the diamond is placed horizontally. The style, which is available as an upgrade at Keyzar, works beautifully with elongated cushions, but it also highlights oval, emerald and radiant cuts. 

For example, The Alice already captivates with its rope-style band and dainty hidden halo, but an east-west setting transforms the look entirely. An oval-cut diamond stretches elegantly across the finger, creating a sleek, elongated effect that amplifies the ring’s modern sophistication.

Similarly, The Penelope enchants with its delicate band accented by six pave-set diamonds, but shifting the center stone east-west adds a bold new dimension. The diamond appears wider and more commanding, almost architectural in its presence, especially when paired with a sharply defined cut like the radiant.

Bezel-Set Engagement Rings You’ll Love

Bezel settings frame the diamond in a smooth band of metal, securing the stone while giving it a sleek, continuous outline. For Gabriella Brooks, that yellow gold bezel transformed her elongated cushion cut into a vintage-style statement with modern appeal, and you can achieve the same look with Keyzar.

The Charlotte solitaire engagement ring captures this spirit beautifully. The center stone sits securely in a bezel frame adorned with micro-diamonds, giving the ring a polished, architectural feel that’s perfect for everyday wear while still glamorous enough for the spotlight. If you prefer some extra sparkle, The Pave Charlotte features a shimmering pave band that catches the light with every movement, wrapping the finger in brilliance  

Bezel frames are also available as an upgrade, lending a vintage elegance that feels both refined and enduring. The Liv three-stone engagement ring has tapered side baguettes that amplify the beauty of the center stone: when finished with a bezel frame, the design takes on a regal presence and old-world charm.
