Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s Engagement Ring Embodies ’90s Minimalism

While this band features only sapphires—no diamonds—the spacing between each stone makes it a great option for fans of Bessette Kennedy’s ring. You can also choose between different stones, including diamonds or emeralds, to personalize it to your preference.

Another half-eternity band, this option from James Allen features sapphires and natural diamonds set upon a 14-karat white-gold setting. If you want a similar look to Bessette Kennedy’s ring with different stones, you can swap the sapphires for rubies or tsavorite.

This ring, made in New York, is called the Day and Night Band, with one half featuring natural diamonds and the other half sapphires. You can twist the ring around to feature one or the other, or have half of the ring showing to get the full effect.

A twist on Bessette Kennedy’s ring, this option doesn’t only feature round stones. Instead, the sapphires have an emerald cut, while the lab-grown diamonds are the classic round shape. For under $1,000, it’s a great option for anyone on a budget.

This Ring Concierge eternity band can be personalized with statement gems. You can add up to three stones to be set with either natural or lab-grown diamonds. While some opt to add their birthstone, you can also decide on statement sapphires to mimic Bessette Kennedy’s ring.

Off the beaten path, this chunky diamond-and-sapphire ring is a nod to Bessette Kennedy’s without being a direct copy. The setting is a thicker 14-karat gold band, making this more of a statement ring than more demure bands might.

With fine jewelry, the small details matter. This half-eternity band is designed so that the diamonds and sapphires share a prong. This effect makes the transition between the two stones look almost flawlessly continuous rather than separating them.

If your takeaway from seeing Bessette Kennedy’s ring is the shape rather than the stones, consider investing in a classic diamond eternity band. This option from Eliette features nearly a carat of lab-grown diamonds.
