A Dozen Disney-Inspired Engagement Rings for a Magical Symbol of Love
For so many brides-to-be, Disney is where it all began. Princesses unlocked dreams of fairy-tale weddings, while movies and characters proved your most magical dreams can come true. Disney-inspired engagement rings pay homage to that and represent a magical romance. (For the most ardent fans, there are Disney-inspired wedding gowns, too). A ring inspired by Cinderella, Snow White, Aurora or any pretty princess sets the tone from the proposal forward: Your very own happily ever after is about to begin.

Where to Buy Disney-Inspired Engagement Rings
Depending on how you interpret the inspiration, you can find Disney engagement rings just about anywhere. Here, we've rounded up a handful of jewelers who particularly lean into the theme, be it through colorful gemstones, whimsical gold detailing or literal references. Use this list as a jumping-off point, then explore The Knot Vendor Marketplace to find a jeweler near you.
Enchanted Fine Jewelry: This is the mothership if you're in the market for a Disney engagement ring: It's Disney's own fine jewelry brand. They offer entire collections inspired by each fairy-tale princess—not just the engagement ring but wedding bands, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and more. There's a blooming rose engagement ring for Belle, a magical mirror ring for Snow White, a powerful shield ring as a Mulan engagement ring and so much more.
Alexis Russell: A key element in many Disney bridal rings is color, as each princess seems to have a color palette that represents her well. Alexis Russell is a master of colored gemstones: Her handmade engagement rings feature stones like pale blue sapphires (ideal for Elsa), pretty peridots (Tiana) and magenta-hued spinel (Rapunzel). Plus, her stones are ethically sourced, and her pieces are made of recycled materials, so you can feel good about what you're wearing.
Etsy: A treasure trove for all things creative, Etsy abounds with engagement rings inspired by Disney (including more than a handful of Mickey Mouse-ears diamond rings; see one in our list below). The site also offers many moissanite and gemstone options, which typically come at a fraction of the cost of natural diamond rings. Make sure to do your research on how to shop Etsy for something as important and valuable as an engagement ring, and read reviews to find trusted sellers.
Ashley Morgan: California-based jewelry designer Ashley Berman designs pieces meant to express beauty and a unique spirit—just like each of the Disney princesses embodies a unique spirit. Her collections feature motifs such as butterflies and natural elements (the Flora & Fauna collection gives off all the woodland creature vibes) and contain colorful gemstones and plenty of whimsical elements. While the designer does have some ready-to-shop styles on her website, most of the bridal pieces are custom orders and can be altered to fit your exact Disney vision.
Zales: The brand-name jeweler carries the Enchanted Disney Fine Jewelry collection and has locations all across the country, making it a convenient stop for shopping in person if you want to try rings on for size or get a feel for what a ring looks like in person. But there are also plenty of engagement rings inspired by Disney outside of that collection: May we suggest a princess-cut diamond solitaire?
Disney-Inspired Engagement Rings to Shop Now
Mirror, mirror on the wall, which ring is the fairest of them all? It's impossible to choose. Here, we've rounded up a dozen styles inspired by some of our favorite fairy-tale characters, from Cinderella to Tiana to Maleficent. Some are quite literal interpretations; others leave room for your magical imagination.
1. Grown Brilliance Zoey Ring with Aquamarine
Cinderella is the queen of all Disney princesses—and this Cinderella engagement ring does her justice. The stunning lab-grown pear aquamarine in the center pays homage to her sparkling blue ballgown, and the pear-shaped halo of diamonds and side stones is a fitting crown.
2. Enchanted Disney Aladdin Pear-Shaped Swiss Blue Topaz Arabesque Ring
For something as unique as a Jasmine Disney engagement ring, it's best to turn to the pros: Disney's own fine jewelry label. This Enchanted piece nods to the Arabian setting with an architectural arabesque frame.
3. Alexis Russell The Willow Ring
The sharp point of this kite-shaped Morganite can represent the spindle Aurora gets pricked by or the strong A that starts her name. But we love this Aurora engagement ring for another reason: The princess had multiple identities (true fans know her name is really Briar Rose)—and so does this ring when paired with a variety of complementary stacking bands, such as the geometric starburst band, a bezel Crown stacking band or a knife edge cuff.
4. Ashley Morgan Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Engagement Ring
This custom Ashley Morgan piece makes a great Snow White engagement ring for Disney fans, thanks to its vibrant blue sapphire center stone and the cluster of white diamonds surrounding it. It also nods to another princess—a real-life one: The style is reminiscent of Kate Middleton's famous sapphire sparkler.
5. Felicegals Alexandrite Pearl-fect Vintage Cluster Ring Set
For a Rapunzel engagement ring, look for stones with a pinkish-purple hue, like this pretty lab-grown alexandrite. The 1.5-carat center stone is surrounded by a cluster of marquise and round diamonds, and the accompanying band has a special surprise with two pretty pearls in the mix. For Disney-minded brides, we love this in rose gold.
6. Ashley Morgan Oval Opal Ring
Opals are known for the way light plays off of and within the stone; some might even say it's like a swirling snowstorm inside. For that reason we're calling this an Elsa engagement ring; the surrounding "ice"—a halo of round and baguette diamonds—helps, too.
7. Diamondère Kineta Ring
There is so much symbolism in Beauty and the Beast, and thus, there are a lot of directions you could take for a Belle engagement ring. This one plays off of the rose motif, with a 0.1-carat natural ruby solitaire nestled in 14-karat gold petals.
8. Diamond Seashell Ring with Freshwater Pearl
Artemer is known for its art deco-inspired jewelry, and this ring definitely gives off deco vibes. But it also resembles a seashell—complete with a freshwater pearl in the center—and for that reason, it makes a perfect Ariel engagement ring. The baguette and round surrounding diamonds promise a lot of bling; pair it with a simple gold curved band.
9. Brilliant Earth Willow Ring with Emerald Accents
Brilliant Earth's Willow ring can be customized with any variety of gemstones, but this combination—featuring a 0.75-carat center marquise diamond and lab-grown emerald accents—speaks to Merida. The unique twists and turns of the band represent her bravery and uniqueness, and, of course, Disney engagement rings for Merida must have an emerald hue.
10. Mouse Ears Fairy Tale Ring
Not all Disney-inspired rings are Disney princess engagement rings. This one is representative of the main man himself: Mickey, that is. A trio of lab-grown round diamonds in two sizes are set to look like the famous mouse ears, and a half-eternity band of smaller rounds adds extra magical sparkle.
11. Enchanted Disney Black Diamond Maleficent Engagement Ring
Not everyone's a princess—and some Disney engagement rings represent the villains, instead. This Maleficent-inspired ring is a Disney villain engagement ring that features a halo of black diamonds around a center marquise diamond for a look that's uniquely cool and powerful at the same time.
12. Angara Princess Diana-Inspired Peridot Ring with Diamond Halo
For a Princess Tiana engagement ring, opt for peridot. The green stone is the perfect color for the frog princess, and this one features a halo of diamonds that fittingly resembles a crown. (Bonus that the style is inspired by real-life Princess Diana's ring.)
