28 Engagement Ring Designers to Follow If You're Already Imagining Your Ring

Updated on 1/29/2020 at 11:21 AM

Some brides love to be surprised by their SO's approach to designing an engagement ring. But if you're a fashion girl in 2020, you probably have an eye for style. You know what's out there, you're well-versed in the latest trends, and you have friends with plenty of advice for securing that very special piece of jewelry.

Personally, I was one of the women DMing my future husband ideas every chance I got. (I probably blinded him with all that sparkle, because at this point in time he's deleted the Instagram app off his phone entirely — whoops!) That said, I didn't just suddenly know what I was looking for. When it came to engagement ring inspiration, for me at least, it took some scrolling. I followed countless jewelers, designers, influencers, and editors if I admired their style, and at various points in time I spotted stones that I loved. Thank goodness for Instagram's "Collection" folder, which is the perfect place to save the cuts you're a fan of.

Even if you have no idea what you're looking for yet, you can probably figure out pretty quickly whether you're of the classic camp or you want something on the unique end of the spectrum. If you pull up any of the accounts here, you'll be able to define your vibe in good time and come up with something truly brilliant for that ring finger, I promise.
