When Miley Cyrus revealed her engagement to Maxx Morando last week on the red carpet of the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere in Los Angeles, all eyes were on her dazzling ring. A cushion-cut stone on a thick, yellow gold band, the piece is a custom design by jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche.
“This was Black Friday deal, baby,” Cyrus joked on a recent Jimmy Kimmel appearance, referring to her ring. Morando surprised Cyrus with the proposal on a recent trip to Asia. In addition to unveiling the ring at the James Cameron film premiere, where the singer wore a black strapless Gucci spring 2026 gown, she showed the ring in an interview on Good Morning America, saying that Morando “did good” with his selection.
Joining Zendaya, whose engagement ring from Tom Holland is a bezel-set east-west diamond ring, and Dua Lipa, whose engagement ring from Callum Turner is a chunky-style ring, Cyrus’s ring seems to solidify an emerging trend of bombé-style rings, which are known for their distinctive domed silhouette. It’s a less traditional route, with the stone set horizontally and its long side parallel to the ring band. But jewelry designers tell Vogue the rounded style is gaining popularity this year.
“Bombé rings have such a beautiful presence,” New York-based fine jeweler Briony Raymond, whose atelier features the style, tells Vogue. “They’re sculptural, confident, and meant to be worn, not tucked away. I love how the curvature catches the light from every angle, giving even the simplest design real dimension. They feel rooted in vintage, yet completely right for how people want to wear jewelry today.” Raymond notes that bombé rings are increasingly becoming “incredibly popular” with her clients.
Jillian Sassone, the San Diego-based founder and creative director of Marrow Fine, is something of a bombé ring evangelist. “This is a truly timeless style that I find myself reaching for almost daily in my own jewelry box,” she tells Vogue, adding that she reset her own engagement ring in a bombé style. Sassone says that bombé rings “came onto the fashion scene as the cocktail party ring in the mid-20th century,” and are now enjoying a comeback.

“We’re seeing many of our clients gravitate toward chunky, gold‑heavy settings, which offer a fresh alternative to the traditional prong‑set solitaires that have dominated for years,” Sassone says. “I think this trend reflects a broader shift in what people want from engagement rings today—designs that feel personal, expressive, and a little unexpected, rather than simply following convention.”
Breaking out of the mold in favor of something truly unique and bold? Sounds like she’s just being Miley.
