The notion of a single engagement ring symbolising eternal commitment is quickly evolving. Modern couples are rewriting the rules of romance, embracing the growing trend of multiple engagement rings. Once the preserve of celebrities, this movement is captivating hearts across the UK as couples opt for variety, personalisation, and a more dynamic way to express their love.

Inspired by high-profile figures such as Victoria Beckham, who boasts an impressive collection of 15 engagement rings, getting a new one “every couple of years” or royals such as Crown Princess Mary of Denmark’s who took her original ruby-and-diamond ring from Prince Frederik, reflecting Denmark's national colours, and made it even more meaningful when she later added two diamonds, symbolising her four children and evolving family journey.

Other style icons including Nicole Kidman followed suit, trading her classic trinity ring for a striking emerald-cut diamond, marking a decade of marriage with a more contemporary, statement piece. Similarly, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hailey Bieber are often seen stacking multiple engagement rings, blending personal milestones with modern trends, showcasing how these sparkling additions can tell an ever-evolving love story. 

Couples across the North West and beyond are increasingly choosing second or even third rings, drawn by the opportunity to celebrate life’s milestones in a deeply personal and meaningful way demonstrating that this trend is no longer confined to the rich and famous.

Why Couples are Choosing Multiple Rings

Roy Lunt, Managing Director at Hancocks Jewellers in Manchester, has observed a notable increase in couples returning to add to their engagement ring collection. "For many, it’s about celebrating milestones, expressing evolving personal style, or expanding their jewellery collection," he says. “Unlike the traditional eternity ring, multiple engagement rings offer more creative freedom, allowing couples to either complement their original ring or design entirely new ones that reflect significant life moments. This flexibility makes engagement rings an increasingly popular alternative to more conventional options.”

With each additional ring, couples have a fresh opportunity to express different aspects of their personalities and to celebrate key moments such as anniversaries, births, or vow renewals. The idea of owning several rings resonates with those who see their relationship as a journey, allowing them to reflect their love story in a tangible and elegant way. The versatility of these rings makes them an appealing choice for those who love to change their jewellery according to their mood, style, or occasion.

A Sentimental Investment

In addition to their personal significance, engagement rings can also serve as valuable investments. Expanding a jewellery collection with multiple rings can enhance its worth, making these pieces not only emotionally significant but also financially smart. Each ring holds sentimental value while offering the practicality of being a long-term asset.

Customising the Journey

While traditional eternity rings, adorned with gemstones encircling the band, remain a popular choice, a second engagement ring offers endless customisation possibilities. Couples can tailor their additional rings to incorporate birthstones, unique designs, or personal touches that commemorate key moments in their relationship. This creative flexibility makes multiple engagement rings a bespoke representation of their journey together.

Retailers like Hancocks Jewellers are rising to meet this growing demand, offering a wide range of designs to suit all tastes and budgets. Whether you're marking a new chapter or simply indulging in something beautiful, a second engagement ring can be the perfect addition to your love story.
