Halle Berry’s Retro Engagement Ring Is the 2026 “Anti-Solitaire” Moment - Here’s How to Get the Look at Allurez

When Halle Berry confirmed her engagement to musician Van Hunt on February 5, 2026, it wasn’t just the “yes” that grabbed attention – it was the ring. Vintage-leaning, graphic, and unapologetically different, her engagement ring is the kind of piece that instantly sparks a new wave of inspiration for modern couples who want something more personal than a classic, single-stone solitaire. 

And if you’ve been craving a ring that feels like an heirloom without looking like everyone else’s, this is the blueprint.

A closer look at Halle’s engagement ring

Halle’s ring has been described as a Retro-era design set in yellow gold, featuring a round diamond center with accent diamonds and a bold halo-like frame of step-cut sapphires. In other words: it’s structured, architectural, and totally timeless. Other jewelry experts have also noted the ring’s “one-of-a-kind” feel, emphasizing its vintage styling, yellow-gold warmth, and the way the surrounding stones create a distinctive, story-driven design.

Why this ring is about to influence everything

Celebrity rings often push trends, but Halle’s ring hits three major style notes that are already reshaping bridal:

1) Yellow gold is back (and it photographs like a dream)
Warm gold makes diamonds look creamier and more romantic – especially with vintage-inspired stones and settings. 

2) Vintage and antique energy feels more “forever” than flashy
Retro-era silhouettes have presence, but they don’t feel trendy in a disposable way. They feel collected – like a piece with a past. 

3) A statement setting beats a giant center stone
Halle’s ring proves you don’t need a massive center to create impact. The “frame” (those step-cut sapphires and accents) does a lot of the visual heavy lifting.

How to recreate the Halle Berry vibe with Allurez

Here’s a simple Allurez roadmap to get there

Step 1: Start with a bezel-set (or vintage-feeling) center in yellow gold

Bezel settings are clean, protective, and instantly modern-vintage – perfect if you love that sleek “framed” look Halle’s ring gives off in photos. Allurez has bezel-style settings you can start from and build out. (allurez.com)

Step 2: Add a “frame” using sapphire (or dark-stone) accents

That’s the magic of Halle’s ring: the center diamond is elevated by the surrounding shape and color. If you want the Retro feel:

• Consider step-cut sapphire accents (that crisp, linear look is what makes the design feel architectural).
• Or go moodier with darker stones for contrast, keeping the overall ring silhouette clean and geometric. 

With Allurez’s design process, you can start from an existing setting and personalize details to match the vibe you’re after. (allurez.com)

Step 3: Decide natural vs. lab-grown for your “best value” center stone

If you want more size (or higher specs) while keeping the budget comfortable, lab-grown can be a strong option – and Allurez offers lab-grown diamond engagement rings across multiple styles, shapes, and metal choices. (allurez.com)

Step 4: Make it yours with custom touches (this is where it stops being “inspired by”)

The most underrated detail in celebrity rings is how personal they are behind the scenes. With Allurez, you can lean into that with:

• Engraving (a date, initials, a phrase only you two understand) (allurez.com)
• A center-stone choice that reflects your taste (classic round, or something more distinctive) (allurez.com)
• A setting you start with  then customize to make it feel one-of-one (allurez.com)

Final thought: the new luxury is individuality

Halle Berry’s engagement ring is a reminder that the most memorable rings aren’t always the biggest – they’re the ones with identity. A warm yellow-gold foundation, a confident silhouette, and a frame of colored stones that feels intentionally chosen… that’s the kind of piece that becomes an heirloom.

If you want that same energy, build a ring that tells your story  and let Allurez bring it to life. (allurez.com)
