How To Match Your Star Sign with a Celestial Engagement Ring
When we talk about love, we’re talking about something timeless—a cosmic force that connects us to each other, to our past, and to the universe itself. No biggie, right? It’s no surprise, then, that so many modern couples are turning to a celestial engagement ring to mark their commitment. More than a nod to the night sky, a celestial or astrological-inspired engagement ring can evoke the eternal, ethereal mystery that exists between two souls who have found their way to each other across time and space.
A celestial diamond ring isn’t just about the sparkle (though, let’s be honest, the sparkle is divine). It’s about the symbolism: the constellations that have guided people for centuries, the moon that has watched over lovers in the night, the stars that remind us how small yet infinite we are. Celestial rings are perfect for couples who see their love as more than making a promise. But what does one actually look like? And what does your zodiac sign have to do with it? Let’s dive into why these rings are trending, and match you with the perfect one to orbit your heart.
What is a Celestial Engagement Ring?
A celestial engagement ring can be as simple or elaborate as the universe itself. These rings draw inspiration from heavenly bodies. They incorporate motifs like stars, moons, constellations, and even the sun that remind us of the infinite possibilities of love. These ancient symbols are timeless—think delicate crescent moons that cradle a diamond or star-shaped clusters of gems that glitter like your own private Milky Way. It’s a whole vibe.
The origins of celestial-themed jewelry stretch back to ancient cultures who believed the stars controlled their fate (let’s be real, we’ve all checked our horoscope at least once before making a big decision). Fast forward to today, and celestial diamond engagement rings capture that same sense of destiny and offer a powerful way to tap into your own cosmic connection.
The Celestial Diamond Engagement Ring: Why It’s Unique
In general, engagement rings tend to stick to some pretty standard looks and themes. There’s the solitaire, the halo, the three-stone… and all their classic friends. So choosing something as magical as the cosmos to inspire your diamond engagement ring will already set you apart. But you can further do that by choosing a stone that really captures the light of the stars. Some of the most popular diamond cuts for celestial rings include:
Round brilliant cut diamond’s shine like the night sky
Classic and bright, like the North Star. This diamond cut is the most sparkly (and popular) of them all. But if this cut is so common how do you make it unique?
Conjure the moon and frame your diamond with delicate half-moon side stones. These diamonds appear as an oval that has been cut in half, stunningly framing your round brilliant with an effervescent sheen like a halo around a full moon.
As above so below: Rose cut diamonds
Not just suitable for nature-inspired engagement rings, rose cut diamonds provide a vintage style that shimmers subtly like the moon. These low-profile and romantic stones are also one of the oldest diamond cuts in history. Invented in the 1500s, the rose cut was hand-cut to shimmer and shine in moonlight and candlelight alike.
Fancy cut diamonds create the perfect celestial engagement ring
Draw inspiration from the cosmos and create a starburst-inspired celestial engagement ring with fancy cut diamonds like Marquise, oval, and pear. Consider combining the shapes to produce something that’s truly out of this world and cool-alien-approved.
Lab diamonds provide out of this world sparkle that’s mindful of Mother Earth
With the heavens and Earth in mind, you can also opt for a lab grown diamond. Choosing a more sustainable diamond option or a colored gemstone can give your ring even more meaning and reflect your values as well. We call that a win-win

Get starry-eyed with our dazzling array of signature Frank Darling engagement rings, each meticulously assigned to complement your astrological sign, blending the mystery and magic of the cosmos with timeless sophistication. Find your zodiac match, fall in love, and then customize it to make that piece uniquely yours!
Capricorn (December 22nd-January 19th)
Capricorns will argue they’re the GOAT of astrological signs, and yes, their symbol is a goat but we don’t pick favs. Pragmatically practical, Capricorns appreciate curated details and ambitious designs-just like The Link Pave. This split-shank design marries architectural ambition with bold and brilliant details like a knife-edge band studded with delicate pave diamonds and a practical hidden halo. And like Capricorn, The Link Pave is also at the top of its class and, by gods, is determined to stay there.
Aquarius (January 20th-February 18th)
A little bit unexpected and always unconventional, Aquarius is the out-of-the-box-thinker of the Zodiac signs. So it makes sense, then, that their celestial ring would also be a somewhat surprising take on a classic design.
The Celeste Marquise playfully pays homage to the moon with an unexpected twist. The Marquise diamond like a delicate crescent moon, is held stylishly in place with a half-plutch, half-split shank setting creating a look that is half-surprising and all parts stunning, just like Aquarius.
Pisces (February 19th-March 20th)
Oh, Pisces, you dreamy, emotional fish, only the Double Claw Rose can encapsulate the depth of your feelings with such majestic shimmer.
Empathetic, intuitive, and romantic, Piscean natives are most often found swirling paint colors or dreaming near a stream. A solitaire rose cut diamond, designed to shine most by candlelight, perfectly encapsulates a romantic, moody vibe. While the eight double claw prongs hug things just right, soothing all of Pisces’ anxieties about loose stones.
Aries (March 21st-April 19th)
Aries, can you chill for, like, a moment? Probably not, but we love that for you. Bold, fiery, and brash, Aries is the first sign in the Zodiac but is also considered the baby. So it only makes sense that the fun-loving and competitive Aries requires a ring with a bit more, ahem, protection.
Enter the Plutch Princess. A little bit salty and a little bit sweet, the Plutch ensures that the sharp pointed corners of its princes cut diamond are enrobed in gold bezel, protecting it from any chips should the Aries find themselves in a fight. Meanwhile, its bold square shape and solitaire style ensures that the Plutch stands out while not ‘ram’ing Aries with gaudiness.
Taurus (April 20th-May 20th)
Cozy Queens and Kings unite! Taurus loves a good classic so what better way to pay homage to their steadfast sensuality than with the timeless classic look of a round brilliant diamond with a twist?
The Knot celestially upgrades a round brilliant solitaire to bull-worthy brilliance. A pave band artfully twists along the shank, gracefully holding a resplendent round brilliant stone in place.
Gemini ( May 21st-June 21st)
Gemini tends to gets a bad rep thanks to their two-facedness. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. And sure, the obvious engagement ring for a Gemini is a Toi et Moi stunner, but that’s a little too predictable.
Gemini’s love a surprise after all. And what better way to surprise the Gemini in your life than with a Marquise Harper. This celestial-inspired engagement ring beams with brilliant light that pulsates from its solitaire north-south set diamond. Secured with both prongs and two bezel settings at its points, The Harper is romantic but playful. Classic but modern. A solitary stunner that represents unyielding and endless possibilities….just like Gemini.
Cancer (June 22nd-July 22nd)
Crabs they may be, but crabby? Not so much. Cancer’s are the soft and gentle souls of the Zodiac that just want to support others. But for all of the love, compassion, and care they nurture in others, shouldn’t poor Cancer receive some in return?
The Lunette Cushion is like a hug in ring form. A chunky half-bezel band enrobed in warm yellow gold surrounds a glistening cushion cut diamond. It’s warm, comforting, and drop-dead gorgeous. Just like the favorite Cancer in your life.
Leo (July 23rd-August 22nd)
Yes, Leo, we see you. And yes, you’re great. You’re the natural performer of the Zodiac and thrive with an all-eyes-on-me attitude that seriously gets you noticed. So naturally, your celestial ring should be as sparkly and bright as the lights you so yearn for.
Meet the Royale Pave. This pear cut diamond solitaire ring with pave half-infinity bands sparkles like nothing else. And don’t turn your nose up at the central pear cut diamond, Leo. Think of it as the tears of your enemies, jealously rolling down their face as you blind them with your gorgeous glow.
Virgo ( August 23rd-September 22nd)
Pragmatics Virgos aren’t judging you…much. They just know that there’s a better way. And don’t worry. They’re happy to show you. Case in point? The trillion cut diamond. Because sure, it may get overlooked for other sharp pointed diamond cuts like Marquise or princess. But honey, you’re just not wearing it right. So of course, Virgo would rock the Celeste Trillion. A split shank ring with prominent and proud trillion cut diamond? Yes, please.
Libra (September 23rd-October 23rd)
Libras are known to be-well, kind of indecisive, but we love them anyway. Make sure your Libra is satisfied no matter what they can’t make up their mind over with a cluster diamond ring that marries emerald diamond flash with round brilliant pave sparkle. The Florette is a diamond ring that shines like the stars above and provides the best of both diamond cut worlds.
Scorpio (October 24th-November 21st)
A little bit moody and a whole lotta bit mysterious, Scorpios are the black cats in their zodiac families. Intense and passionate, they deserve a celestial diamond ring that let’s their freak flag fly.
The Cantilever Pear is like a work of brilliant sparkling art. Appearing to defy gravity, a pear cut diamond floats off of the thin and curved yellow gold band and sits high on the finger. A perfect match for the Scorpio that likes to keep everyone guessing just how they do it.
Sagittarius (November 22nd-December 21st)
Try to keep up with worldly Sagittarius or get left in the dust. Like Aries and Leo, Sagittarius is a fire sign and thrives in exciting and fast-paced environments. They also are notorious for loving travel and hate staying in one place for too long.
So what do you give the Sagittarius when you’ve finally managed to get them to set up camp? A diamond ring that is secure, blingy, and perfect for whatever Sag throws at them, of course. AKA the Lunette Three Stone. This three stone diamond ring features a half bezel set oval diamond that is framed by two delicate pear stones. Unique, secure, and worldly, this celestial ring is truly out of this world.
