Everyone loves a celebrity engagement. It’s our way to live vicariously through these fairytales that have all the trappings of love and opulence. And whilst we can’t help but fall for the proposals themselves, be they on a private beach, at a luxury hotel or excluded tropical island, we also desperately want to peek the ring.
Of course, such ring adornments come with a whopping price tag, some of which we wouldn’t be able to earn in our lifetimes let alone splash on one piece of jewellery. From rare gems and diamond rings so big they could knock your eye out, here are our favourite celebrity engagement rings.
Jennifer Lopez
It was one of those heart melting moments in popular culture where two childhood sweethearts found each other again after a long time and rediscovered the magic that brought them together all that time ago.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got engaged again, 20 years after their first engagement, and let’s just say that Affleck chose very well. Featuring a rare 8.5-carat green diamond ring encrusted with smaller diamonds, this multi-million-dollar ring is befitting the love story that is signifies.
Kate Middleton
Before marrying her Prince, Kate Middleton was presented with the stunning engagement ring that belonged to William’s late mother, Princess Diana. The ring, which is a piece of jewellery immersed in British royal history, features a 12-carat blue sapphire.
And that’s not all; the oval sapphire is also joined by 14 pristine diamonds and, considering its worth and significance, it is the most famous heirloom engagement ring in the world. The sapphire is set in white gold, finishing off the sophisticated feel of the ring.
Ariana Grande,
After a whirlwind first year of dating, Dalton Gomez proposed to Ariana Grande. In what was a very private ceremony in December 2021, the singer coupled her Toi et Moi engagement ring with a wedding band.
It’s safe to say it’s a unique engagement ring. Comprising of an oval-shaped diamond with a single pearl, this ring is one of the simpler ones gifted by a celebrity to a celebrity. Less is more, however, and the stones are set on a white gold band that is estimated at 5-7 carats. Sometimes being unique pays off as proven by this gorgeous engagement ring.
Lily Collins
Our favourite girl about Paris, the Emily in Paris star ditched the charming French men for film director Charlie McDowell in September 2020. McDowell popped the question whilst the pair were holidaying in Mexico and presented a bezel-set rose-cut diamond ring to his future wife.
Avril Lavigne
Paris is known as the City of Love for a reason, and Avril Lavigne and Mod Sun cemented its reputation by getting engaged in March 2022. The ring is heart-shaped and from XIV Karats. The ring is even more special because it has a secret engraving for Avril written in the band.
