The glitz. The glamour. The beauty. It’s no wonder that society is obsessed with celebrity culture and when it comes to their engagement rings it’s no different.
That’s why we’ve taken a look at some of the most famous engagement rings to see what makes them so unique.
Kate Middleton
This is one of the most famous rings in the world and was worn by Diana Princess of Wales herself. Kate Middleton’s ring took the world by storm when her engagement to Prince William was announced in 2010.
The beautiful 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire is surrounded by a cluster of 14 diamonds and set in white gold. Fitting for any Princess.
Scarlett Johansson
When Scarlett Johansson revealed her rock at the Venice International Film Festival in 2013 it caused quite a stir.
The Art Deco ring given to her by her now husband, Romain Dauriac, features 3 round cut diamonds with smaller diamonds laid around in order to form a rectangular shape.
If you ask us Scarlett is one lucky lady.
Lady Gaga
On Valentines Day of this year Lady Gaga put up a post on Instagram, which said ‘He gave me his heart on Valentine’s Day, and I said YES!’
Apparently her fiancé, Taylor Kinney, originally proposed with a Ring Pop and after Gaga had said ‘Yes’, pulled out the real heart shaped diamond.
The diamond studded engagement ring also features a personalised message written in white diamonds on the band, a ‘T’ and an ‘S’ separated by a heart symbol. So romantic.
Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman’s ring is not only beautiful but also ethical.
When the Oscar winning actress isn’t making films she’s a social advocate for many different causes. It’s no surprise then that her beautiful 4- carat diamond ring is eco-friendly.
The ring, designed by her now husband, Benjamin Millepied, along with designer, Jamie Wolf, is made from recycled platinum and conflict free diamonds, It has a round central stone and a double halo of pave diamonds. Exquisite.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian, one half of Hollywood’s ‘power couple’, has had not one but two amazing engagement rings.
Her first husband, basketball player Kris Humphries, proposed to Kim with a stunning 20.5-carat diamond ring made up of a 16.21-carat rectangular-cut centre diamond and two 1.80-carat side diamonds designed by Lorraine Schwartz.
When Kanye West proposed to Kim in 2013, he worked with the same ring designer as Kris to create Kim’s $1.6m 15 carat engagement ring.
Both are stunning.
Elizabeth Taylor
The list would not be complete without Elizabeth Taylor. Having been married 8 times to 7 different men Taylor has been given her fair share of jewels.
One of her greatest was the Krupp Diamond given to her in 1968 by Richard Burton. The 33 carat, Asscher cut diamond is believed to be internally flawless with D colour and VS1 clarity. Absolutely gorgeous.
