The Most Expensive Celebrity Engagement Rings Of All Time
For many couples, getting married is something they envision for their relationship. That’s certainly how it seems to be for most celebrity partnerships, with many stars walking down the aisle, sometimes multiple times. It all starts with the moment that one of them pops the question.
There’s often a lot of pressure for the person that gets down on one knee, especially when it comes to buying the right ring. Fortunately, celebrities have more disposable income than most, so they can afford to buy something suitably expensive. As a result, some stars are rocking seven figure rings on their fingers.
Anna Faris’ third engagement ring was a cushion-cut diamond beauty
- Engaged to: Michael Barrett
- Year: 2020
- Price: $25,000+
- Status: Married (since 2021)
When Anna Faris got engaged to Michael Barrett, this wasn’t the first time that the actress had heard wedding bells. She’d actually been married twice before, first to Ben Indra in 2004 and then to Chris Pratt in 2009. She planned on the third time being the charm, though, when cinematographer Michael Barrett popped the question.
He did so with a yellow cushion-cut diamond ring set on either a white gold or platinum diamond-encrusted band. With the jewel also surrounded by a diamond halo, there are plenty of gems here to make this one of the more expensive celebrity engagement rings. Kathryn Money of Brilliant Earth estimates its worth at $25,000 or more.
Sophie Turner’s partner didn’t hold back when he proposed with this 3-carat stunner
- Engaged to: Joe Jonas
- Year: 2017
- Price: $25,000+
- Status: Married (since 2019)
As a star in the fantasy drama series ‘Game of Thrones,’ Sophie Turner was a woman in demand when Joe Jonas popped the question. The singer reportedly got down on one knee in 2017 and asked Turner to marry him with a ring allegedly valued at $25,000 minimum. These celebrity engagement rings really do not come cheap.
It would seem that Joe got plenty for what he paid for, though. The ring apparently features a 3-carat solitaire pear-cut diamond sitting on a double pavé band in white gold. With the pear cut being the most brilliant of all fancy cuts, Jonas was able to provide his partner with a ring that was both stylish and suitably sparkly.
Emily Ratajkowski reportedly helped to design the engagement ring her partner proposed with
- Engaged to: Sebastian Bear-McClard
- Year: 2018
- Price: $50,000+
- Status: Separated (since 2022)
Unfortunately, not every marriage works out, and that’s something that Emily Ratajkowki has recently learned with her other half, Sebastian Bear-McClard. The couple announced their separation in September 2022, with Emily now rumored to be enjoying the company of Pete Davidson. Does that mean she’ll be getting rid of the engagement ring that Sebastian reportedly spent over $50,000 on?
If so, she’ll be saying goodbye to a stunner of a ring. Emily was reportedly involved in the design of the jewelry, which features two pear- and square-cut diamonds on a gold band. She told Vogue that she and Sebastian went through 50 sketches during the design process before settling on the ring that she got engaged with.
Jennifer Lawrence’s emerald-cut diamond ring came courtesy of her relatively secretive partner
- Engaged to: Cooke Maroney
- Year: 2019
- Price: $60,000+
- Status: Married (since 2019)
While there are plenty of more expensive celebrity engagement rings on the market, the one that Jennifer Lawrence received in 2019 is still far from cheap. Reported to be worth upward of $60,000, we can’t imagine the average couple could afford to spend this much on one piece of jewelry. The ring is something special, though.
Believed to be up to five carats, it features an emerald-cut diamond atop a dainty platinum or white gold bezel-style band. Alison Lou is likely responsible for the engagement ring, which Lawrence received from Cooke Maroney. Not much is known about their relationship, as Jennifer is quite a private person. However, there’s evidently a lot of love between the two.
Britney Spears’ engagement ring allegedly has “Lioness” engraved on the inside
- Engaged to: Sam Asghari
- Year: 2021
- Price: $70,000
- Status: Married (since 2022)
Britney Spears doesn’t always have the best of luck with marriages, with one of her unions only lasting a matter of hours before it was over. However, the relationship she shares with Sam Asghari seems far stronger and healthier than any she’s had in the past. He supported her throughout all the conservatorship drama and is now her loving husband.
Asghari popped the question in 2021, reportedly working with Roman Malayev of Forever Diamonds on the jewelry. The result was a 4-carat round-cut diamond on a cathedral setting made of platinum. This sits on a silver band and is reportedly worth a very pricey $70,000. The ring also reportedly has “Lioness” engraved on the inside - Sam’s nickname for Britney.
Miranda Kerr’s engagement ring from Snapchat’s CEO seemingly spared no expense
- Engaged to: Evan Spiegel
- Year: 2016
- Price: $75,000+
- Status: Married (since 2017)
After Miranda Kerr’s marriage with Orlando Bloom went south, there was no knowing if the model would ever want to tie the knot again. However, three years after she finalized her divorce from the actor, she was engaged once again. This time, it was with Evan Spiegel, best known to many as the CEO of Snapchat.
Given his position, Spiegel could afford to lavish his partner with one of the more expensive celebrity engagement rings. He ended up settling on a sparkler believed to be worth $75,000 minimum, thanks to the round-cut brilliant diamond at the center. The jewel is flanked by tapered baguettes on a platinum band and is allegedly around 2.5 carats.
Alexis Bledel’s engagement ring was a marriage of vintage and modern
- Engaged to: Vincent Kartheiser
- Year: 2013
- Price: $80,000
- Status: Divorced (since 2022)
Alexis Bledel’s marriage seemed to be going fine until recently. Unfortunately, in August 2022, her husband filed for divorce, and within a few years, the split was finalized. It brought an end to their eight-year marriage that had spawned after two years of dating. Like with many celebrity couples, the engagement came quickly, with Vincent Kartheiser proposing after one year.
Vincent reportedly popped the question with a vintage-inspired octagonal diamond ring. Experts reportedly claim that the ring is likely around three carats and potentially worth as much as $80,000. The marriage of vintage and modern in this jewelry isn’t something you see in many celebrity engagement rings, so it’s a shame that this relationship didn’t work out.
Kirsten Dunst’s engagement ring finally got company five years after her partner proposed
- Engaged to: Jesse Plemons
- Year: 2017
- Price: $80,000
- Status: Married (since 2022)
Earlier this year, fans of Kirsten Dunst were starting to wonder if the actress would ever tie the knot. She and Jesse Plemons got together in 2016, and the two were engaged one year later. However, rather than rushing into a wedding like most celebrity couples would, they waited years before eventually becoming husband and wife in 2022.
Now that they’re married, Kirsten has another piece of jewelry to add to the sparkler already on her ring finger. Her engagement ring - allegedly worth $80,000 - could be two or three carats, with diamond expert Michael O’Connor stating that the oval diamond is mounted on yellow gold. The ring is apparently completed with baguette side diamonds of exceptional quality.
Mary-Kate Olsen’s engagement ring was much less controversial than who gave it to her
- Engaged to: Olivier Sarkozy
- Year: 2014
- Price: $81,250
- Status: Divorced (since 2021)
Mary-Kate Olsen’s relationship with Olivier Sarkozy definitely caught the public’s attention when the two first got together. Age gaps are something that tend to be quite controversial, and the fact that these two were 17 years apart didn’t sit right with everyone. Nevertheless, the two got engaged and even married before calling time on their eight-year relationship.
Apparently, Sarkozy proposed with a vintage Cartier ring from Sotheby’s containing a 4-carat center stone set in a sapphire halo. The ring reportedly sold for $81,250, meaning it was one of the more suitably expensive celebrity engagement rings. Unfortunately, no amount of pricey and beautiful jewelry can hold a relationship together that isn’t destined to be.
Emily Blunt’s marriage is still going strong after her partner proposed with a $100,000 ring
- Engaged to: John Krasinski
- Year: 2009
- Price: $100,000
- Status: Married (since 2010)
Given how many celebrity divorces there are every year, it’s nice to know there are marriages like Emily Blunt and John Krasinski’s. The pair began dating in 2008 and tied the knot after two years, with the couple still appearing happily married 12 years later. The longevity of their relationship means Krasinski’s money on the engagement ring wasn’t wasted.
The ring is reportedly valued at $100,000 and contains a 3-carat round-cut diamond set in platinum. The center gem is apparently flanked by baguettes that help this jewelry to shine bright on Blunt’s finger. Hopefully, there won’t ever come a time when the actress has to give the ring back or sell it because of problems in the marriage.
Lily Collins’ engagement ring features a rare jewel that bumped up the price tag
- Engaged to: Charlie McDowell
- Year: 2020
- Price: up to $100,000
- Status: Married (since 2021)
When it comes to getting engaged, it’s the sentiment that’s supposed to matter more than what someone actually proposes with. However, that doesn’t mean that most people don’t want the ring on their finger to be something special. Luckily for Lily Collins, that’s precisely what the jewelry that Charlie McDowell popped the question in 2020 with was.
The ring is a rose-cut diamond designed in collaboration between McDowell and Irene Neuwirth Jewellery. Unlike many celebrity engagement rings, the jewelry has a bezel setting rather than a prong setting, meaning that it’s fully affixed to the band. With the 2-3-carat diamond being hundreds of years old and “exceptionally rare,” the ring likely cost up to $100,000
Melissa Benoist’s engagement ring apparently contains both traditional and trendy features
- Engaged to: Chris Wood
- Year: 2019
- Price: $100,000+
- Status: Married (since 2019)
The average amount that someone spends on an engagement ring in any year can differ depending on certain circumstances. However, no matter how much it goes up or down, it never comes close to the cost of these celebrity engagement rings. The average in 2020 was apparently $3,756, around $100,000 less than what Melissa Benoist’s ring is worth.
Estimates suggest that the sparkler on her ring finger probably cost around $100,000, although it could also be much more. The jewelry reportedly contains a 3-carat oval-shaped stone at the center with a halo setting and pavé diamonds along the band. Benoist’s ring is both traditional and trendy, according to Shannon Delany from jewelry experts James Allen.
Princess Eugenie’s engagement ring is modest compared to other rings in the Royal Family
- Engaged to: Jack Brooksbank
- Year: 2018
- Price: £100,000 ( approximately $118,000)
- Status: Married (since 2018)
If there are any celebrity engagement rings you might expect to be pricey, it’s ones in the Royal Family. After all, the monarchy is never short of money, with their weddings being some of the biggest events on the calendar. However, compared to other engagement rings within the family, some might say that Princess Eugenie’s is relatively modest.
That doesn’t mean it’s not impressive, with the jewelry containing a padparadscha sapphire, a jewel that isn’t easy to come by. This stone is surrounded by diamonds in the shape of a flower and is believed to be between three and four carats. It’s hard to say how much it costs, but experts suggest around £100,000 (approximately $118,000.)
Sophia Bush’s second engagement ring will hopefully bring more luck than the first
- Engaged to: Grant Hughes
- Year: 2021
- Price: $125,000+
- Status: Married (since 2022)
Co-stars falling in love and getting married isn't unusual in the celebrity world. Unfortunately, these relationships often don't work out, as evidenced by Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray's brief nuptials. Hopefully, the actress' second marriage will stand the test of time, although it's hard to say right now as they only got married in June 2022.
At least we know that her partner Grant Hughes didn't hold back with the engagement ring. The piece contains a 4-carat cushion-cut diamond in a six-claw setting, set on a thin gold band. Estimates seem to vary quite wildly regarding just how much this ring is actually worth. However, it seems to be in the ballpark of $125,000.
Jessica Biel’s engagement ring features aquamarine, which is the actress’ birthstone
- Engaged to: Justin Timberlake
- Year: 2011
- Price: $130,000
- Status: Married (since 2012)
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are one couple whose marriage has so far endured over many years. The pair now have a decade of marital bliss behind them, and they’d already been together for five years by the time they tied the knot. So, Timberlake was presumably confident that their love would last when he popped the question in 2011.
He did so with a ring that reportedly boasts a six-carat cushion-cut diamond in the center. This is surrounded by aquamarine, a nod to Jessica’s birthstone, pavé sides, and blackened platinum. All in all, the jewelry reportedly set Justin back around $130,000, making it one of the more expensive celebrity engagement rings that we’ve seen.
Zawe Ashton’s engagement ring is keeping her finger company until the big day
- Engaged to: Tom Hiddleston
- Year: 2022
- Price: $150,000
- Status: Engaged
If the name Zawe Ashton isn’t one that you’ve heard before, perhaps you’ll be familiar with the man that she’s set to marry - Tom Hiddleston. The Loki actor reportedly got down on one knee in March 2022, with a date for the couple’s wedding currently unknown. It’s possible they might wait until after the birth of their first child.
If so, we’re sure Zawe’s ring finger won’t feel too empty without a wedding band for a bit longer. After all, it probably already looks full, what with her 5-carat engagement ring. The oval-shaped diamond certainly dominates her finger in its vintage halo setting with a tapered yellow gold band. Hiddleston reportedly spent around $150,000 on it.
Anne Hathaway’s emerald-cut diamond is one of the more unusual celebrity engagement rings
- Engaged to: Adam Shulman
- Year: 2011
- Price: $150,000
- Status: Married (since 2012)
One star who tied the knot in 2012 and still seems to be going strong in her marriage is Anne Hathaway. She and Adam Shulman said their vows to one another on September 29 in a traditional Jewish ceremony one year after the man proposed. As one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, Shulman was incredibly lucky to win Hathaway over.
Fortunately, it seems that he had the money to help her wedding dreams come true, especially when it came to the engagement ring. Her sparkler is reportedly worth $150,000 and apparently features a 6-carat stone at the center. The diamond is emerald-cut, which isn’t necessarily that common with celebrity engagement rings but still makes for something stylish and classy.
Chrissy Teigen’s proposal was apparently almost spoiled by airport security
- Engaged to: John Legend
- Year: 2011
- Price: $150,000+
- Status: Married (since 2013)
For many, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are couple goals. While Teigen might have come under fire in recent years for some of her past behavior, plenty of fans still adore the relationship that she and John share. It’s one that’s been going strong for over a decade now, with Legend popping the question back in 2011.
He did so with a cushion-cut diamond ring believed to be more than five carats. The stone is set on a delicate pavé diamond platinum or white gold setting and likely cost the singer $150,000, if not more. Legend proposed to Teigen in the Maldives, with airport security reportedly almost spoiling the surprise when they looked through his bag.
Princess Beatrice’s engagement ring is reportedly more valuable than her sister’s
- Engaged to: Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi
- Year: 2019
- Price: £130,000 ( approximately $154,000)
- Status: Married (since 2020)
Princess Eugenie might have been the first one between her and her sister to get married. However, it seems Beatrice managed to one-up her younger sibling in the engagement ring department once her other half popped the question. Allegedly, the ring’s worth sits at £130,000 (approximately $154,000), making it more valuable than the one Eugenie received.
Beatrice’s partner, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, was reportedly involved with the designing of this ring alongside Shaun Leane. The round-brilliant central diamond isn’t as many carats as some of these other celebrity engagement rings, reportedly coming in at around 2.5-carats. However, it does have a 0.75-carat tapered baguette on either side and is set in platinum with diamond pavé.
Victoria Beckham’s had 15 engagement rings over the years, all from the same person
- Engaged to: David Beckham
- Year: 1998
- Price: $155,000
- Status: Married (since 1999)
Most people tend to be happy with one engagement ring. They might have it updated at some point after getting married, but that’s about it. Most people aren’t Victoria Beckham, though. Over the years, she’s reportedly had 15 engagement rings, which might be hard to get your head around when you consider that they’ve all been from the same man.
It all started in 1998 when David Beckham proposed to Victoria with a three-carat marquise-cut diamond. The stone was set on a plain yellow-gold band and apparently set the soccer star back $85,000 at the time. Over twenty years later, the equivalent price would be roughly $155,000, making it much more valuable than it used to be.
Reese Witherspoon’s second engagement ring is Ashoka-cut and very valuable
- Engaged to: Jim Toth
- Year: 2010
- Price: $160,000+
- Status: Married (since 2011)
Someone who knows what it's like when a marriage turns sour is Reese Witherspoon. Her first union ended in 2007 after eight years. Thankfully, what she couldn't make work with Ryan Phillippe, she seems to have made up for with Jim Toth. The pair tied the knot in 2011 and are still together more than a decade later.
When Toth proposed in 2010, he offered the actress a 4-carat Ashoka-cut diamond ring set in a pavé diamond-accented setting in platinum or white gold. Without knowing the quality and specific characteristics of the center diamond, it's hard to know the ring's true worth. However, Kathryn Money suggests that it could be worth upward of $160,000.
Meghan Markle’s engagement ring bears a nod to the late Princess Diana
- Engaged to: Prince Harry
- Year: 2017
- Price: £140,000 (approximately $166,000)
- Status: Married (since 2018)
There was a time when people wondered if Prince Harry would ever settle down. He’d developed such a reputation as a party boy that some couldn’t envision him being a happily married man. However, since 2018, Harry has been Meghan Markle’s husband, a union that certainly hasn’t come without its share of controversy over the years.
Harry paid homage to his late mother with Meghan’s engagement ring by using jewels from her collection. The end result was a three-stone ring with a 3-carat cushion-cut Botswana diamond in the center. The ring was later adjusted to have a thin-yellow gold band set with micro-pavé diamonds, reportedly bringing the value to around £140,000 (approximately $166,000).
Natalie Portman’s engagement ring reportedly places an emphasis on sustainability
- Engaged to: Benjamin Millepied
- Year: 2010
- Price: $200,000
- Status: Married (since 2012)
2012 was the year to get married. This was when Natalie Portman also tied the knot, doing so with French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. They’d been dating for three years when they tied the knot, having initially met during the filming of the psychological horror film ‘Black Swan.’ Millepied made sure to propose with quite a stunner.
The ring reportedly contains a 4-carat old-mine-cut diamond surrounded by a double halo of pavé diamonds. Something particularly notable about this ring is the sustainable, recycled platinum setting, which makes sense for Portman’s passion for the environment. The use of conflict-free, smaller stones definitely makes this one of the more unique celebrity engagement rings around.
Priyanka Chopra initially tried to hide her engagement ring from the public
- Engaged to: Nick Jonas
- Year: 2018
- Price: $200,000
- Status: Married (since 2018)
Priyanka Chopra's wedding attire is something that we won't forget anytime soon. We should have known that her looks would be something special, though, having seen her engagement ring. Although the actress tried to hide it from the public, it was hard to keep something like this a secret. A Tiffany ring reportedly worth $200,000 isn't made for hiding.
Nick Jonas reportedly shut down an entire Tiffany store when he purchased the ring, which features a cushion-cut diamond on a plain platinum band. There's a small tapered baguette diamond on each side of the stone, making this a three-stone setting. It's believed that Priyanka's ring is five carats, thus it's heavier than those bought by the other Jonas brothers.
Karlie Kloss’ engagement ring was suitably expensive coming from a billionaire
- Engaged to: Josh Kushner
- Year: 2018
- Price: $200,000+
- Status: Married (since 2018)
The ability to make anything look good is all part of being a model. Luckily, Karlie Kloss didn’t have to try too hard with this when it came to her engagement ring. The jewelry was always going to look stunning, especially as Josh Kushner reportedly spent at least $200,000 on the perfect ring to propose.
As a billionaire, he could afford to lavish his partner with whatever she wanted for the wedding, and that included a cushion-cut diamond set on a delicate diamond-adorned band. Believed to be around seven or eight carats, the ring could actually be worth a lot more. It all depends on the quality of the diamond and certain unknown characteristics.
Salma Hayek reportedly rejected her partner’s engagement ring twice before saying yes
- Engaged to: François Henri-Pinault
- Year: 2009
- Price: $237,000
- Status: Married (since 2009)
Salma Hayek also knows a thing or two about marrying a billionaire. In 2009, she tied the knot with François Henri-Pinault, a French businessman who’s been the CEO of Kering since 2005. She got married in one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses ever seen, with their entire nuptials - including the engagement ring - being just as pricey.
Although Salma reportedly rejected her partner’s proposal twice, she eventually said yes and let him put his £200,000 (approximately $237,000) ring on her finger. The ring is reportedly five carats and contains an oval-cut center stone with a whopping two trillion diamond accents on the side, according to Brides. Considering that, it’s incredible the ring isn’t worth more.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s expensive engagement ring is still on her finger, despite talk of a divorce
- Engaged to: Will Smith
- Year: 1997
- Price: $250,000
- Status: Married (since 1997)
2022 was quite a newsworthy year for Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, from her opening up more about her alopecia to him slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Thankfully, despite the drama and frequent talk of them getting divorced, the pair are still together. It looks like Jada won’t be removing that expensive engagement ring anytime soon.
Although they’ve had many ups and downs, the couple has seemingly weathered every storm since Will popped the question in 1997. He made sure to impress with the engagement ring, offering Jada a 12-carat emerald-cut diamond sparkler with shoulder-set baguette stones on either side. Reportedly worth a quarter of a million dollars, the jewelry is quite something to behold.
Pippa Middleton reportedly received her engagement ring during a countryside walk
- Engaged to: James Matthews
- Year: 2016
- Price: $300,000
- Status: Married (since 2017)
People didn’t really know who Pippa Middleton was until her sister, Kate, married Prince William in 2011. Thanks to how form-fitting her dress was, the bridesmaid became a real talking point after the ceremony and has continued to be of public interest. That includes when she tied the knot herself in 2017 with former professional racing driver James Matthews.
Matthews reportedly proposed during a countryside walk in 2016, asking Pippa to marry him with an Asscher-cut diamond allegedly around three carats. The stone is apparently surrounded by an octagonal halo of smaller gems and was valued at roughly £250,000, putting it at around $300,000. That makes sense, given the diamond’s reported high quality and rarity.
Simone Biles’ partner spent several months handpicking the diamond for her engagement ring
- Engaged to: Jonathan Owen
- Year: 2022
- Price: $300,000
- Status: Engaged
It’s easy to forget how young Simone Biles is, given how much she’s already achieved as one of the world’s greatest gymnasts. So, it’s no great shock that it was only in 2022 that she got engaged, with Houston Texans football player Jonathan Owens popping the question in February. The couple are reportedly set to tie the knot in 2023.
If Simone's engagement ring is anything to go by, the nuptials are set to be quite incredible. The Zo Frost ring is allegedly worth $300,000, with Owens apparently taking several months to handpick the perfect diamond for the accessory. He ultimately opted for a 3-carat stone with F color and VVS2 clarity set on a micropavé diamond accented band.
Katherine Schwarzenegger’s engagement ring benefitted from her partner’s success as an actor
- Engaged to: Chris Pratt
- Year: 2019
- Price: $350,000
- Status: Married (since 2019)
When Katherine Schwarzenegger tied the knot with Chris Pratt, it was her first time walking down the aisle. However, it was different for him, as he’d previously been married to Anna Faris. Fortunately, that meant Pratt knew how to buy an excellent engagement ring. Plus, with his career more successful than when he married Faris, Chris could afford something expensive.
He ultimately opted for something believed to be $350,000, if not significantly higher. The price makes sense when you consider that the oval-shaped diamond allegedly weighs at least five carats and is set in a petite platinum setting. The color and clarity of the stone are both exceptional, making this one of the most valuable celebrity engagement rings.
Ariana Grande’s engagement ring has sentimental value, thanks to her grandpa’s tie pin
- Engaged to: Dalton Gomez
- Year: 2020
- Price: $350,000
- Status: Married (since 2021)
Dalton Gomez is not the man that people believed would become Ariana Grande's husband. The singer had a very strong love for Mac Miller, and was later engaged to Pete Davidson in a whirlwind romance. Unfortunately, Miller passed away in 2018, and Grande's engagement with Davidson turned sour, leading her to eventually fall into the arms of Gomez.
He ended up proposing in 2020 with a ring that featured the pearl from Ariana's grandpa's tie pin. The singer lost her grandparent in 2014, so the sentimental value of this jewelry must be priceless. Of course, with a diamond of around five carats, if Ariana were to sell the Solow & Co. ring, she'd allegedly get $350,000 for it.
Scarlett Johansson’s engagement ring was apparently the work of a highly-respected jeweler
- Engaged to: Colin Jost
- Year: 2019
- Price: $400,000+
- Status: Married (since 2020)
As a major Hollywood star, Scarlett Johansson probably has more in the bank than her partner Colin Jost, a cast member on the variety show ‘Saturday Night Live.’ Nevertheless, no expense was seemingly spared on the actress’ engagement ring, with claims that it’s worth $400,000, if not more. It’s certainly one of the more unusual celebrity engagement rings.
The pear-shaped light brown diamond takes up much of Scarlett’s ring finger, coming in at an amazing 11 carats. The ring is believed to be the work of James de Givenchy, a big name in the world of jewelry. He’s known for working with rare stones and experimenting with bold proportions in his creation, something notable with Johansson’s ring.
Kate Middleton now wears Princess Diana’s engagement ring as her own
- Engaged to: Prince William
- Year: 2010
- Price: £400,000 (approximately $474,000)
- Status: Married (since 2011)
With King Charles III now on the throne, Prince William is just one tragic loss away from becoming king. He’s known for much of his life that he’ll eventually ascend to the throne, which is why William’s love life has been such an obsession for millions of people around the world. He knew he had to pick the right woman.
Thankfully, Kate Middleton has proven to be that woman, and she’s more than earned the right to wear Princess Diana’s engagement ring as her own. William proposed with this famous piece of jewelry in 2010, reminding people of the scandal around the ring when Charles proposed. The 12-carat oval sapphire was an unusual choice for an engagement ring.
Sofia Vergara’s third engagement ring is the one that’s lasted
- Engaged to: Joe Manganiello
- Year: 2014
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Married (since 2015)
Sofia Vergara isn’t a stranger to the affections of men. She’s been engaged several times in the past, marrying Joe Gonzalez in 1991 and getting engaged to Nick Loeb in 2012. However, neither of these relationships has worked out the way that her marriage with Joe Manganiello seemingly has. The duo are still going strong after seven years now.
It may well help that Manganiello popped the question with quite an impressive ring. Featuring a cushion-cut diamond in a sparkling pavé halo setting, it’s estimated to be around five carats or more. The platinum band also contains a ton of intricate diamonds to help the jewelry sparkle and justify the alleged $500,000 value assigned to the ring.
Jennifer Aniston needed time to get used to her second engagement ring
- Engaged to: Justin Theroux
- Year: 2012
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Divorced (since 2018)
After Jennifer Aniston’s marriage to Brad Pitt broke down in the mid-’00s, people weren’t sure if the actress would ever find a love as strong as the one these two shared. However, a decade after her divorce was finalized, Aniston tied the knot once again, this time with Justin Theroux. The two had been together since 2011.
Although the marriage didn’t work out in the end, the actress at least got an incredible engagement ring out of it. Justin popped the question in 2012 with an 8-carat emerald-cut diamond ring that was hard to overlook on her finger. According to Jennifer, it took a while to get used to the ring because she’s “not a diamond girl.”
Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring was a long time coming after the dramatic start to her relationship
- Engaged to: Brad Pitt
- Year: 2012
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Divorced (since 2019)
The drama of Brad Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston was heightened by the fact that he’d fallen in love with someone else - Angelina Jolie. Branded Brangelina, their relationship was loved by many but also hated by those who considered themselves team Jennifer. Eventually, though, people realized that these two were couple goals… Until everything fell apart in spectacular fashion.
It took a surprisingly long time for Brad to pop the question to Angelina, ultimately asking for her hand in marriage with a 16-carat emerald-cut diamond ring. The stone was reportedly flanked by custom-cut trapezoid and baguette diamonds that Pitt reportedly wanted to encapsulate Jolie’s finger. The jewelry allegedly set him back $500,000, much like Aniston’s second engagement ring.
Lady Gaga’s engagement ring featured an engraving unusual for celebrity engagement rings
- Engaged to: Taylor Kinney
- Year: 2015
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Called off (since 2016)
Lady Gaga wasn’t looking for love while filming the music video for her song ‘Yoü and I.’ However, that’s apparently what she found with Taylor Kinney, who starred in the video alongside her. After several years, their relationship evolved into something serious, with Taylor popping the question in early 2015. Unfortunately, the following year, the engagement was called off.
Still, that doesn’t mean Gaga’s ring isn’t worth talking about. Kinney made quite a strong statement with his proposal, offering the singer an 8-carat heart-shaped white diamond ring set in platinum with diamond pavé. Unlike many other celebrity engagement rings, this one featured a phrase in the diamond pavé - “T <3 S,” aka Taylor loves Stefani (Gaga’s real name.)
Gwen Stefani’s engagement ring came as a surprise to some after her previous marriage
- Engaged to: Blake Shelton
- Year: 2020
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Married (since 2021)
Both Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton know what it’s like to be in a failed marriage. The pair’s respective unions actually fell apart around the same time, which is potentially how they ended up developing feelings for one another. However, fans weren’t sure if this would ever develop into a marriage after what they’d both been through.
In 2020, though, Blake finally popped the question, doing so with a sparkler very worthy of a successful woman like Gwen. The ring, believed to be worth $500,000, is a platinum, square radiant-cut diamond ring estimated to be as many as eight carats. The stone is reportedly flanked with two trapezoid side diamonds, making it beautifully unique.
Nicky Hilton Rothschild’s partner was able to afford the perfect engagement ring for her
- Engaged to: James Rothschild
- Year: 2014
- Price: $500,000+
- Status: Married (since 2015)
As a member of the Hilton family, we're not sure that Nicky has ever had to worry too much about money. That's probably been a lot of pressure for any man she's ever fallen for, though, as they've likely had to ensure they've got the bank balance to keep up with her. Fortunately, the Rothschild family is also rich.
When James Rothschild got together with Nicky and eventually proposed, he did so knowing he could afford the perfect engagement ring for his partner. This ended up being a 6-carat royal Asscher-cut diamond with a likely VVS clarity. The value of the sparkler is reportedly around $500,000, although there's a chance it could be higher depending on the quality.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s sapphire engagement ring isn’t like most other celebrity engagement rings
- Engaged to: Brad Falchuk
- Year: 2018
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Married (since 2018)
It’s safe to say that Gwyneth Paltrow is a woman who does things her own way. For instance, when she split from Chris Martin, she referred to it as a conscious uncoupling when others would just say they’d separated. Later, when she got engaged to Brad Falchuk, she wore an engagement ring different from most other celebrity engagement rings.
Like Princess Diana’s ring, this piece of jewelry holds a sapphire gemstone at the center and quite a hefty one at that. Reportedly 12 carats with a relatively even proportion, the stone is either Ceylon or Burmese in origin and apparently untreated in color. The rest of the ring is relatively simple, thereby making this gem the sole focus.
Cardi B’s engagement ring is hard to miss on her finger because it’s so large
- Engaged to: Offset
- Year: 2017
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Married 2017 (since 2020)
Cardi B still wears her engagement ring, but there was a time when it seemed like she would have to retire the jewelry. Her marriage with Offset has been a bit of a rollercoaster over the years, with the rapper allegedly filing for divorce in September 2020. However, a month later, they were confirmed to be back together.
Right now, things are reportedly good between them, with the singer still very much in love with her 8-carat pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. The jewel is hard to miss on her left hand, even with all the other rings she likes to wear from time to time. That seems to be the norm with some of these celebrity engagement rings.
Eva Longoria Baston doesn’t wear her engagement ring because she considered it to be too much
- Engaged to: José Baston
- Year: 2015
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Married (since 2016)
Eva Longoria has walked down the aisle a few times in the past. Her first attempt at marriage was with Tyler Christopher in 2002, but that was over two years later. She then tried again with Tony Parker in 2007, but they divorced after four years. Now, she’s married to José Baston and has been for six years.
Hopefully, Eva won’t ever have to worry about finding another husband. She certainly seems to have a good partner in José, even if his choice of engagement ring wasn’t the best for the actress. While the $500,000 6-carat ruby ring with a halo of diamonds was gorgeous, Longoria allegedly found it to be too much and stopped wearing it.
Hailey Bieber’s engagement is a similar value to many other celebrity engagement rings
- Engaged to: Justin Bieber
- Year: 2018
- Price: $500,000
- Status: Married (since 2018)
People who thought that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were endgame were surprised when the two finally ended things for good. Bieber ended up tying the knot with Hailey Bieber - formerly Baldwin - something that Selena seemingly doesn’t hold a grudge about. She and Hailey are reportedly “more than cordial,” judging by photographs of them at the Academy Museum Gala.
The Biebers have actually been together for a while now, with Justin popping the question over four years ago. Like quite a few celebrity engagement rings, his choice for Hailey is also apparently worth $500,000, with the center stone allegedly six carats at least. The oval-shaped diamond is reportedly set on an 18-karat yellow-gold solitaire band.
Amal Clooney’s engagement ring was a suitable price given what her partner is worth
- Engaged to: George Clooney
- Year: 2014
- Price: £640,000 ( approximately $760,000)
- Status: Married (since 2014)
Amal Alamuddin achieved what many other women had dreamed of in 2014 when she became George Clooney’s wife. When she tied the knot with him, she presumably hoped to avoid whatever had caused his first marriage to fall apart after several years. So far, Amal’s succeeded in that, still holding the title of Mrs. Clooney after eight years.
George made sure to win Amal over when he proposed, offering her an ethically-sourced and flawless 7-carat emerald-cut diamond ring. The stone stands out against two baguette accent stones and sits nicely on a sleek platinum band. According to Taylor & Hart, its value is around £640,000 (approximately $760,000), a price that makes sense with Clooney’s immense wealth.
Catherine Zeta-Jones engagement ring came within month’s of her partner’s divorce
- Engaged to: Michael Douglas
- Year: 1999
- Price: $1 million
- Status: Married (since 2000)
Although these stars might have a lot of money, there aren’t many willing to pay seven figures to pop the question. Those that are, though, provide their other half with some of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings around. We can’t say we’re shocked that Michael Douglas is someone who has reportedly done this in the past.
Mere months after filing for divorce from his first wife, the filmmaker popped the question to Catherine Zeta-Jones. He reportedly did so with a 10-carat marquise-cut diamond ring, the shape of which was allegedly inspired by the lips of Madame de Pompadour. The jewelry also features a hidden halo of diamonds on a diamond pavé eternity band, hence the cost.
Gabrielle Union’s engagement came after a short break
- Engaged to: Dwyane Wade
- Year: 2013
- Price: $1 million
- Status: Married (since 2014)
There was a time, albeit briefly, when we weren’t sure if Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade would make it this far. In 2013, several years after going public with their relationship, the couple reportedly parted ways because of their busy schedules. During that time, Wade actually fathered a child with another woman. However, that didn’t stop the couple from reuniting.
By the end of 2013, they weren’t only back together, but they were also engaged. Eager not to lose Union again, Dwyane popped the question with a cushion-cut diamond ring reported to be 8.5 carats with a clarity of VS1 or higher. The colorless diamond supposedly cost the former basketball player $1 million, proving how serious he was.
Kourtney Kardashian’s engagement ring apparently isn’t short of carats
- Engaged to: Travis Barker
- Year: 2021
- Price: $1 million
- Status: Married (since 2022)
One of the more recent celebrity engagement rings on this list comes courtesy of Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian, with the former proposing to the latter in 2021. Travis is no stranger to getting married - Kourtney is his third wife - whereas Barker is Kardashian’s first husband. Although she was in a long-term relationship with Scott Disick, they never actually married.
If they had, we’re not sure if Kourtney would have received an engagement ring allegedly worth $1 million like the one she got from Travis. The ring is reportedly between 10 and 12 carats and features an elongated oval-shaped solitaire diamond as the central stone. This sits atop a thin white-gold or platinum pavé band, according to Kathryn Money.
Demi Lovato returned her expensive engagement ring after calling off her wedding
- Engaged to: Max Ehrich
- Year: 2020
- Price: $1 million
- Status: Called off (since 2020)
For anyone who doesn’t recall Demi Lovato getting married, there’s a good reason for that. Although she got engaged to Max Ehrich in 2020, the wedding was called off before the end of the year. It seems the pair might have moved too quickly with their relationship in 2020, thanks to the pressure of the global health crisis.
Following the breakdown of the engagement, Demi reportedly returned the ring to Max. That’s probably a good thing, given he might have paid seven figures for the piece of jewelry. The high value apparently came from the ring being 10 carats and featuring an emerald-cut diamond hand-set in platinum. The stone was apparently flanked by smaller trapezoid-shaped diamonds.
Kate Hudson allegedly received two engagement rings from her partner
- Engaged to: Danny Fujikawa
- Year: 2021
- Price: $1 million
- Status: Engaged
We know that some celebrities have multiple engagement rings. However, they usually only start off with one. Not Kate Hudson, though. Apparently, when she and Danny Fujikawa got engaged, the musician gifted his partner with two rings. One of these is allegedly worth far more than the other, though, with the difference supposedly being seven figures.
The pricier of the two rings apparently contains a diamond that's between 10 and 12 carats on a fine diamond set band. As the type of diamond is reportedly in high demand, this may explain why it's allegedly worth $1 million or so. That's in contrast to the vintage-style ring, apparently made with two colors of gold and various gemstones.
Blake Lively’s engagement ring apparently contains one of the rarest diamonds in the world
- Engaged to: Ryan Reynolds
- Year: Unknown
- Price: $2 million
- Status: Married (since 2012)
The stories of how these celebrity engagement rings ended up on people’s fingers are relatively well-known. However, one couple where this is seemingly still a mystery is Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The two reportedly met while filming the superhero movie ‘Green Lantern’ and then proceeded to tie the knot in 2012 before anyone apparently knew they were engaged.
Whatever the story of their engagement may be, at least we know what Ryan proposed with. Lively’s ring is allegedly 12 carats and contains a solitaire-set oval pink diamond in a light blush shade. Such diamonds are some of the rarest in the world. So, when combined with the rose gold band, it’s no wonder it’s supposedly worth $2 million.
Nicola Peltz apparently received an upgraded wedding ring after getting married
- Engaged to: Brooklyn Beckham
- Year: 2020
- Price: $2 million
- Status: Married (since 2022)
Having watched Brooklyn Beckham grow up over the years, it’s hard to believe he’s finally old enough to get married. However, in 2022 he tied the knot with Nicola Peltz, becoming the first child in David and Victoria’s family to enjoy marital bliss. Although Brooklyn proposed in 2020, it seems that Nicola now has a new engagement ring to showcase.
At the 2022 Met Gala, she revealed a different engagement ring, one containing a large oval-shaped diamond believed to be up to eight carats. The ring features trapezoid diamonds on the sides which are all set on a shiny platinum band. The upgrade to the ring means that she now allegedly rocks $2 million worth of jewelry on one finger.
Serena Williams received one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings ever made
- Engaged to: Alexis Ohanian
- Year: 2016
- Price: $2 million
- Status: Married (since 2017)
When your husband is a co-founder of Reddit, you know that money isn’t really much of an issue. Of course, Serena Williams isn’t the type of person to need much help in the financial department, given how much she’s made throughout her incredible sporting career. Still, a rich partner is helpful when it comes to receiving an engagement ring.
The ring that Alexis gave Serena reportedly has a large oval-cut center diamond that’s 12 carats and flanked by two smaller semi-circle gems. It also has an exposed clasp and is set on a platinum band with a reported VVS1 in clarity. At $2 million, it’s one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings ever made.
Paris Hilton’s fourth engagement ring is seemingly the one that stuck
- Engaged to: Carter Reum
- Year: 2021
- Price: $2 million
- Status: Married (since 2021)
In 2021, Paris Hilton finally tied the knot, making this the first time that she’s ever walked down the aisle. That might seem surprising to some, given that Hilton has famously been engaged numerous times in the past. Jason Shaw, Paris Latsis, and Chris Zylka all popped the question to Hilton, but only Carter Reum made it to the wedding.
He reportedly looked to famous jeweler Jean Dousset to help him create the perfect custom engagement ring for Paris. At the center of the piece is an emerald-cut diamond, allegedly as much as 20 carats in weight. This is framed by two shield-cut diamonds in a tension setting, with small pavé diamonds adding extra sparkle. All this for $2 million.
Kim Kardashian’s first engagement ring from Kanye West was apparently flawless
- Engaged to: Kanye West
- Year: 2013
- Price: $2 million+
- Status: Divorced (since 2022)
Kim Kardashian is another entrant on the list of the world’s shortest marriages, with the reality star filing for divorce from Kris Humphries after 72 days. Fortunately, while that union might not have lasted long, her marriage to Kanye West was much more successful. Although it still fell apart eventually, the pair were legally together from 2014 to 2022.
Kanye was incredibly passionate about Kim throughout their relationship, so it’s perhaps no surprise that his first engagement ring to her was allegedly so expensive. The flawless 15-carat cushion-cut diamond ring from Lorraine Schwartz was reportedly valued at $2 million. Boasting a D color rating and considered to be flawless, it was a ring that couldn’t go wrong.
Mariah Carey received several engagement rings from Nick Cannon during their marriage
- Engaged to: Nick Cannon
- Year: 2008
- Price: $2.5 million
- Status: Divorced (since 2016)
Mariah Carey has tied the knot twice, and both of those marriages have been notable for different reasons. Her first union with Tommy Mottola was a controversial one, with claims that Mottola was abusive and tried to ruin Carey's career after their split. The second marriage with Nick Cannon was much happier, although it still fell apart.
Throughout their relationship, the pair renewed their vows several times, with Mariah receiving a new engagement ring each time. Nick had set the bar high with the first ring, though, which he reportedly bought from Jacob & Co. for $2.5 million. It was 17 carats, 10 carats of which came from the emerald-cut diamond in the center.
Jennifer Lopez’s second engagement ring from Ben Affleck is exceptionally rare
- Engaged to: Ben Affleck
- Year: 2022
- Price: $3 million+
- Status: Married (since 2022)
Love might not cost a thing, but all these celebrity engagement rings do. Someone who’s no stranger to tying the knot is Jennifer Lopez, with the singer being married four times over the years. She’s also been engaged twice on top of that, although one of those was with her current husband., Ben Affleck. Who’d have thought they’d eventually reunite?
We’re so grateful they did, though, and not just because we love that they’ve managed to make things work all these years later. When Affleck proposed for the second time, he offered Lopez a ring allegedly worth $3 million, if not more. The 8.5-carat natural green cushion-modified brilliant-cut diamond it features is one of the rarest in the world.
Elizabeth Taylor’s engagement ring from Mike Todd was the biggest of all her celebrity engagement rings
- Engaged to: Mike Todd
- Year: 1956
- Price: $3.7 million
- Status: Married when he passed away (1958)
One of the few people to surpass J-Lo when it comes to receiving celebrity engagement rings is Elizabeth Taylor. While the woman was famed for her acting skills, she was also known for enjoying the company of many husbands over the years. She ultimately had seven of them across eight marriages, including her brief union with Mike Todd.
Unfortunately, Todd passed away two years after proposing to Taylor. However, he left her with a ring to remember. The emerald-cut diamond was apparently the biggest of all her engagement rings, coming in at an alleged 29.4 carats. Elizabeth was still divorcing her second husband when Mike proposed and she initially claimed the jewelry was a “friendship ring.”
Katy Perry’s engagement ring is an ancient collector’s item believed to be worth millions
- Engaged to: Orlando Bloom
- Year: 2019
- Price: $5 million
- Status: Engaged
There were probably many people who hoped they might have a chance with Orlando Bloom following his split from Miranda Kerr. However, it was Katy Perry who ultimately caught his eye. The duo started dating in 2016, and by 2019, the actor decided he was ready to try marriage again. However, they haven’t tied the knot after almost four years.
Whatever might be causing the delay, we doubt it has anything to do with the engagement ring Orlando gave her. The ruby and diamond flower ring that’s apparently a centuries-old collector’s item is potentially worth as much as $5 million. The cluster ring design makes it similar to other celebrity engagement rings, like those of Princess Diana and Princess Eugenie.
Beyoncé’s engagement ring is apparently 18 carats of flawless diamond
- Engaged to: Jay-Z
- Year: 2007
- Price: $5 million
- Status: Married (since 2008)
When Beyoncé and Jay-Z started working together, it wasn’t long before the two were crazy in love. Although there have been some rough patches since then, courtesy of “Becky with the good hair,” the duo are still united. They’re one of the world’s greatest power couples and are responsible for one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings ever made.
Beyoncé was already a huge star when Jay-Z popped the question in 2007, so his ring had to impress. He ultimately went for a stylish emerald-cut flawless diamond ring with a weight of 18 carats from Lorraine Schwartz. These elements explain why the ring - which has a solitaire setting with an elegant platinum split-shank setting - is allegedly worth $5 million.
Grace Kelly’s engagement ring has skyrocketed in value since she got engaged in the 1950s
- Engaged to: Prince Rainier of Monaco
- Year: 1955
- Price: $44 million
- Status: Married when she passed away (1982)
Someone has to be pretty special to make a person give up a successful career and move to another part of the world. That's especially the case when they're an Academy Award-winning actress with plenty of years in the industry still ahead of them. For Grace Kelly, though, we guess that Prince Rainier of Monaco really was all that.
We suppose the man was able to offer Grace a kingdom, along with some pretty pricey jewelry. The prince reportedly proposed with a 10.47-carat emerald-cut diamond ring made by Cartier. Set in platinum, it featured two baguette-cut diamonds on either side of the stone. Already expensive at $4 million back then, it would allegedly be worth $44 million nowadays.
