Why Miley Cyrus's Engagement Ring Has the Internet Completely Obsessed

Miley Cyrus just broke the internet - again. The pop star attended the Los Angeles premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash earlier this month with musician boyfriend Maxx Morando, and when she posed with her left hand casually resting on his chest, everyone took notice of the chunky gold diamond ring on her finger. Within minutes, social media exploded with frantic speculation. Was that an engagement ring? Spoiler alert: it absolutely was, and it's one of the boldest celebrity engagement rings we've seen in years.

Miley didn't keep us waiting long for confirmation. She also spilled the details about Maxx's proposal during their recent trip to Japan. "I am not easy to surprise," she confessed. "I had completely surrendered... I was so, so, so surprised." The ring itself is already causing a ripple effect, with brides-to-be ditching traditional styles for chunky, gold, fashion-forward statements. This guide shares all the details on this trendsetting piece, along with some Keyzar Jewelry designs that capture that same star-powered energy - minus the celebrity price tag.

What We Know About Miley Cyrus’s Engagement Ring

Miley's engagement ring is a masterclass in contemporary luxury: bold, fashion-forward, and dripping with confidence. The center stone is an elongated cushion-cut diamond: a rectangular sparkler with rounded corners and larger facets that create a soft, pillow-like appearance. It’s a combination of vintage glamor and modern brilliance, which is likely why Taylor Swift’s engagement ring featured the same dramatic shape.

1 carat Elongated Cushion cut Diamond

The diamond, estimated at around 4 to 5 carats, is set in an east-west orientation, meaning that it sits horizontally across her finger instead of the traditional north-south orientation. It's a small detail that makes a massive visual impact, as we’ve seen with Zendaya’s marquise cut diamond ring. As for the setting, it appears to be a bezel-style or bombe-inspired design that secures the stone in a sleek, protective frame, making it the kind of ring that makes you do a double-take.

According to People, experts estimate the ring’s price to be somewhere between $150,000 and $450,000, depending on the diamond's clarity, color, and whether it's natural or lab-grown. That's a pretty wide range, but when you're talking about a stone this size with this level of craftsmanship, the variables add up quickly. Either way, it's a major investment AND a serious statement.

What’s Trending in 2026? Bold and Gold!

We're witnessing a major shift in what brides want, and Miley Cyrus’s engagement ring captures it perfectly. Chunky bands, bezel settings, and east-west orientations are all rising to the forefront: Dua Lipa sparked a similar buzz when she debuted her bright gold cigar band ring last June. These rings represent a new era of bridal jewelry: more expressive and unapologetically individualistic. They're for brides who want their ring to reflect who they are, not what tradition dictates.

This shift is inspiring couples everywhere to rethink what an engagement ring can be. You can have luxury without following the rulebook. You can go nontraditional without sacrificing elegance. Miley's ring proves that taking risks pays off, and that the best engagement ring is one that turns heads and starts conversations.

Keyzar Designs with a Similar Vibe

If you loved Miley Cyrus’s engagement ring, Keyzar has several designs that capture the same flashy energy as Miley's ring. Whether you want a full-on statement piece or a more subtle nod to the trend, the following rings will make you feel like a star.

The Stella

The Stella is a robust engagement ring that’s also highly luxurious. The bezel setting wraps around the diamond in a smooth metal frame, giving you that same low-profile, contemporary look that Miley's rocking. The Stella is perfect for those who love clean silhouettes but want their ring to have presence: not only do you get that fashion-forward energy, but it’s comfortable to wear and photographs beautifully, which is important on your wedding day.

The Berta

Not everyone wants to go full chunk, and that's where The Berta comes in. This refined solitaire features a subtle artistic curve around the center stone, which is perfect for someone who loves the idea of sculptural design but prefers a lighter touch. The Berta has that "quiet luxury" vibe that adds sparkle and style, so think of it as Miley-inspired minimalism for the bride who wants something timeless with a twist. 

The Claudia

If you love a thicker band like Miley’s but your heart leans more toward vintage-romantic, The Claudia is calling your name. This engagement ring brings the drama with a wider band and ornamental details, including a hidden halo and marquise side stones that add visual interest. It's glamorous, distinctive, and has a red-carpet presence making it ideal for brides who want celebrity-level uniqueness but with a softer, more intricate feel.

The Charlotte

The Charlotte features a bezel-set design, so it’s already very ‘Miley.’ But it also has a delicate hidden halo built into the bezel, adding subtle sparkle while delivering a lighter, more delicate feel. It's the Goldilocks of this collection: not too bold, not too traditional, but just right for someone who wants to nod to the trend without going all-in. If you love bezels but don’t want a chunkier band, The Charlotte is for you.
