More is more! Gone are the days of a single, traditional engagement ring. A growing number of couples are embracing a modern twist on this timeless symbol of love by owning multiple engagement rings. This trend, once considered unconventional, is now gaining popularity, inspired by high-profile celebrities and a desire for personalisation.
One such celebrity leading the charge is Victoria Beckham, who has been spotted sporting 15 different engagement rings throughout her marriage to David Beckham. Similarly, Jennifer Lopez has showcased a variety of rings, each reflecting a different chapter in her life.
This trend isn’t just limited to the rich and famous. Many couples across the north west are also choosing to invest in multiple engagement rings. Some do so to commemorate significant milestones, such as anniversaries, important birthdays, or the birth of a child, while others simply enjoy the variety and the opportunity to express their personal style.
Roy Lunt, Managing Director of Hancocks Jewellers, Manchester, has noticed a significant increase in customers returning to purchase additional engagement rings. “It’s a wonderful way to express personal style, milestone events, or to simply add variety to one’s jewellery collection,” he said.

So, why are people opting for multiple engagement rings?
- Personal Expression: Precious stone rings are symbols of love and commitment. By owning multiple rings, individuals can express their evolving style and personality.
- Commemoration: Each ring can represent a significant milestone in a relationship. Such as an anniversary, the birth of a child, or a renewal of vows.
- Variety: Some people simply enjoy the variety and versatility that comes with owning multiple pieces of jewellery.
- Investment: Engagement rings can be valuable investments, and owning multiple rings can diversify a jewellery collection.

Many couples are choosing additional engagement rings over eternity rings due to their versatility and personal significance. Unlike eternity rings, which are typically adorned with diamonds or gemstones along the entire band, additional engagement rings can be designed to complement the original ring or use stones to represent specific milestones. This flexibility allows couples to create a collection of jewellery that truly reflects their journey together.
As the trend for multiple engagement rings continues to grow, it is clear that people are seeking more personalised and meaningful ways to express their love and commitment. Premium retailers like Hancocks Jewellers are responding to this demand by offering a wider range of options to suit different tastes and budgets.
