10 Cigar Band Engagement Rings That May Change Your Wish List

Are delicate engagement rings out? Well, not necessarily, but we are seeing an exciting new trend that may turn the tide–cigar band engagement rings! What are they? Well, like the name says, the band itself is about the same width (or wider) than the metallic band around a cigar. And while the band certainly makes a statement, opting for a cigar band engagement ring doesn’t mean forgoing the traditional diamond centerpiece. On the contrary, we find that these cigar bands double down on the size (and quantity) of the diamonds as well. We love this modern take on traditional engagement rings and how it’s more practical for everyday wear. Pair it with an equally substantial diamond eternity band or with a delicate pave band to lighten the stack. When it comes to diamonds and precious metals, you really can’t go wrong.

1. Double the diamonds

We love how many of these cigar band rings feature more than one diamond. This fresh take on the tu et moi ring is so bold and modern–perfect for today’s brides.

2. Beauty and substance

The width of the band and the oval shape of the diamond soften the impact of this truly gigantic rock. It’s serving bling but not too in your face. We also love the delicate band it’s paired with.

3. Negative space

The negative space in this cool ring is giving us all the positive vibes. This is definitely one of those engagement rings that even complete strangers will comment on.

4. Front and center

This unique ring has so much going for it, the hexagonal cut of the diamond and the non-traditional placement set it apart from the crowd.

5. The tie that binds

Loving the symbolism in this band that’s being held together by a delicate marquise-cut diamond.

6. emerald-cut perfection

Perfect for the bride who is all about minimalism and is always effortlessly chic, this emerald-cut cigar band engagement ring is modern and timeless all at once.
