Diamonds are forever: what the most beautiful celebrity engagement rings look like
Not all star marriages last forever, but diamonds, as we know, are forever.
And not a single celebrity engagement is complete without them, and sometimes the stones simply amaze the imagination. We have collected photos of the most impressive rings that famous couples used to seal their unions at different times. Mariah Carey
The contender for the title of the most expensive engagement ring is the jewelry presented to Mariah Carey by billionaire James Packer. In January 2021, the businessman gave the singer a 35-carat ring from jewelry designer Wilfredo Rosado. Experts estimated the cost of such jewelry at about ten million dollars. Unfortunately, the wedding did not come to fruition: the couple called it off ten months after the engagement. Mariah still has the ring. This spring, the tabloids wrote that the singer sold it without much fanfare - for just over two million dollars. They say that rumors about the fabulous cost of the jewelry were greatly exaggerated.

Her previous engagement ring (from ex-husband Nick Cannon) was more modest. The jewel, set with a 17-carat pink diamond, was worth $2.5 million.

Jennifer Lopez
The union of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony also broke up, but the four million dollar engagement ring, according to journalists, is still one of the most valuable and beautiful pieces of jewelry from J.Lo’s extensive collection. True, there were rumors that the singer was determined to sell it in order to finally say goodbye to the past. Anthony chose an 8.5 carat square diamond ring for the bride. This beauty was created by celebrity designer Neil Lane.

The ring, given to Lopez for her engagement by her failed husband Ben Affleck, was returned by the diva to the donor. According to media reports, a couple of months after breaking up with Affleck, J. Lo parted with his gift worth $2.5 million - a creation from the Harry Winston brand with a 6.1-carat pink diamond.

Now JLo is again seen with a ring on her ring finger, it has sparked speculation about the celebrity's engagement to her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez.
Grace Kelly
A Hollywood star who marries a prince - this story is generally similar to the plot of a romantic film. The ring given by Prince Rainier III to his beloved Grace Kelly lives up to a beautiful story: it is one of the most famous celebrity jewels of all time. A large ten-carat diamond in the middle and two smaller ones on both sides - this jewelry cost more than four million dollars. It is interesting that, according to the media, at first the prince proposed to the actress by putting a much simpler ring on her finger. But when I realized that in Hollywood it is customary to show off giant diamonds, I quickly corrected the mistake.

Kate Middleton
As for the Duchess of Cambridge's engagement ring, it was once on Princess Diana's finger. Prince William gave the 18-carat sapphire and diamond jewelry to his bride during a trip to Kenya. Then the groom said that for three weeks he “carried the ring with him everywhere in his backpack” until he finally asked Kate to marry him.

Meghan Markle
Most recently, everyone was discussing the ring that Prince Harry gave to his bride. It costs around £200,000 and includes three diamonds - two on the edges from Princess Diana's personal collection and one in the middle from Botswana. The prince himself came up with the design of the ring, and it was created by jewelers Cleave and Company.

Paris Hilton
The socialite is not yet married, but she can boast of several stunning rings that were given to her on the occasion of her engagement. The first is from ex-fiancé Paris Latsis: the Greek asked Hilton to marry him, presenting her with a 24-karat white gold ring with a large rectangular diamond in the middle and two triangular ones on the edges. According to Hilton, the decoration was so massive that her finger hurt from it. After breaking up with Latsis, Paris auctioned off the $4.7 million jewel to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina.

This winter, the media reported about a new engagement: Paris Hilton was proposed to by her boyfriend Chris Zylka. Well, the main character of the publications was a 20-carat ring worth two million dollars. And even though there were rumors that Paris allegedly bought the ring for herself, the press and fans never tire of admiring the truly stunningly beautiful piece of jewelry.

Beyoncé
Famous rappers don't skimp when it comes to jewelry. Thus, Jay-Z presented his future wife Beyoncé with a breathtaking 18-carat diamond ring from Lorraine Schwartz. The platinum ring cost five million dollars and was included in the list of the most expensive in history. Experts speak of the highest quality of the stone, which they describe as “impeccable.”

Elizabeth Taylor
The actress was famous for her love of jewelry and for a long time was the owner of the most expensive engagement ring in the world. Taylor received the $8.8 million jewelry as a gift from Richard Burton. Let us remind you that the actors played a wedding twice: in 1964 and 1975. The price of the ring is explained not only by the size of the 33-carat diamond, but also by its quality: this stone is considered the purest and most transparent of all. It is not surprising that the jewelry remained one of Elizabeth's favorites until the end of her life.

Kim Kardashian
We all remember with what pomp the engagement of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian took place: a rented stadium, an orchestra, candles... Kanye, of course, also chose an expensive and exclusive ring. He asked for Kim's hand and heart, handing her a 15-carat piece of jewelry worth eight million dollars. Alas, the ring was on the list of jewelry stolen from Kim during a sensational robbery at a Parisian hotel.

Kim's previous engagement - to basketball player Kris Humphries - was more modest: the 16.2-carat ring cost only two million. After the marriage, which lasted only 72 days, was dissolved, Chris put the jewelry up for auction.

Melania Trump
When the future US president proposed to model Melania Knauss in 2004, the girl’s finger was adorned with a 12-carat diamond ring. It cost three million dollars.

Blake Lively
Most girls would say yes to Ryan Reynolds even if he gave them a plastic ring. But the actor decided to ask for Blake Lively’s hand in marriage, buying her an elegant oval-shaped diamond ring for $2.5 million. It was created by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz.

Anna Kournikova
As a sign of engagement, the Russian tennis player received an 11-carat ring with a pink diamond from Enrique Iglesias; according to various sources, it costs from 2.5 to six million dollars. The stone was mined in Australia, in the largest Argyle deposit, which is famous for the unique colors of diamonds - shades of champagne and cognac. True, the celebrity engagement dragged on: as far as the press knows, the singer and the former athlete, who have been together for 17 years and became parents of twins last year, are not officially married.

Lady Gaga
The outrageous celebrity never got married to actor Taylor Kinney, but she still kept the engagement ring. Gaga's fans took to Instagram to admire the six-carat heart-shaped diamond from Lorraine Schwartz. Kinney was creative in choosing the ring: the half-million-dollar jewel was adorned with the initials T and S (Lady Gaga's real name is Stefani Germanotta).

Catherine Zeta-Jones
Michael Douglas once decided to buy a vintage piece of jewelry for his bride: the engagement ring worn by Catherine Zeta-Jones is an antique from the 1920s. It was made by designer Fred Leighton and features a ten-carat diamond. Around the large stone there are 28 smaller ones. The approximate cost of the jewelry is one million dollars.

Jennifer Aniston
We can't ignore Jennifer Aniston's million-dollar ring. During a happy romance, Justin Theroux gave the actress a piece of jewelry with a ten-carat rectangular diamond. It was created by Aniston's close friend, jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer. By the way, according to Aniston, such a flashy jewel is “not really her style.” Justin, as we now know, also turned out to be not quite what was needed.

Anastasia Shubskaya
Among Russian celebrities, Anastasia Shubskaya can boast of a luxurious engagement ring in Hollywood style. Two years ago, the girl willingly showed her Instagram followers a ring with a giant diamond - a gift from her fiancé, NHL forward Alexander Ovechkin. The price of the jewelry is unknown, but the athlete clearly did not skimp. I must say that the couple’s wedding rings looked much more modest. Let us remind you that the couple is now preparing for the birth of a child.

Angelina Jolie
We bet if Brad Pitt proposed to you, you would wear the ring without taking it off? But Angelina Jolie stopped doing this almost immediately after the engagement. They say the actress simply didn’t like Brad’s choice. It’s a shame, because the groom tried very hard: it took the creator of the ring, jeweler Robert Prokop, and Pitt a whole year to bring the jewelry to perfection. According to the master, the actor actively participated in the work process, “thinking through every detail.” The price of the jewelry by Hollywood standards is not that high: some 250 thousand dollars.

Victoria Beckham
We don't know which of Victoria's engagement rings to include on our list, because the celebrity has more than a dozen of them. According to journalists' estimates, 14 pieces! And, of course, all as a sign of engagement to one and only man. According to the press, Victoria Beckham just likes to change her jewelry, so a new ring appears on the star’s ring finger every now and then. Definitely with a massive stone - like in 2005, when Beckham wore a 17-carat diamond on her finger: the jewelry cost about two million pounds.
