Why Sofia Richie’s Engagement Ring is STILL the Shape Everyone’s Asking For
Share
When Sofia Richie Grainge revealed her engagement to music executive Elliot Grainge in 2022, the internet swooned over her ring. Fast forward to 2025, and the emerald cut diamond she wears is still setting the tone for engagement ring trends worldwide.
If you’ve noticed more friends talking about “emerald cut” recently - this is a big reason why. Let’s look at what makes Sofia’s ring so timeless, why the shape is in such high demand, and how you can make it your own.
The Details of Sofia Richie’s Ring
- Cut: Emerald cut - rectangular shape with step-cut facets that create a hall-of-mirrors effect.
- Setting: Classic solitaire on a thin yellow gold band.
- Stone size: Estimated at 6–8 carats (according to jewellery experts), with exceptional clarity to show off that open-faceted style.
- Overall feel: Elegant, understated, and luxurious - no halo, no side stones, just pure diamond.
Why the Emerald Cut Is So Popular
1. Elegant and distinctive - Its long, clean lines give a refined, vintage feel that stands out from more common round or oval shapes.
2. Timeless appeal - This cut has been worn by icons like Grace Kelly, Beyoncé, and Amal Clooney.
3. Illusion of size - The elongated shape can make the diamond appear larger than its carat weight suggests.
4. Perfect for minimal settings - Pairs beautifully with thin bands and simple designs that let the diamond take centre stage.
5. Trending - Sleek solitaire settings are replacing halo settings, particularly in yellow gold, which has been dominating engagement ring designs in 2025.
How to Make Sofia’s Look Your Own
You don’t need a celebrity budget to capture the same style:
- Optionality - Choose an emerald cut lab grown diamond to save 30–60% compared to natural.
- Adjust the carat size - A 2–3ct stone can still give incredible finger coverage with this cut.
- Customise the metal - Keep yellow gold for the warmth, or go platinum/white gold for a cooler, modern look.
- Play with proportions - A slimmer band can make the centre stone look even larger!
Why Bespoke Is the Best Route
Emerald cuts demand precision in stone selection and setting. Going bespoke ensures your diamond has the right length-to-width ratio, is perfectly cut, and is within a setting that enhances its beauty.
