We Wish We Could Get Our Hands On These Icy Celebrity Engagement Rings
As much as I love a simple gold band with a single princess cut diamond, these over-the-top celebrity engagement rings are breathtaking. Find yourself a man with John Legend's taste in jewelry... or Joe Manganiello's... or Ryan Reynold's, and you might score some serious bling like these ladies did.
Read on to see the most extravagant diamond rings of the rich and famous. Maybe send this post along to your significant other, as a subtle (or not so subtle) hint.
This Ring Is Legendary
Chrissy Teigan's oval diamond is simple and elegant, but the little diamonds around the side of the band take it to the next level.
It's really not fair that she gets a gorgeous man, John Legend, and a gorgeous ring. She knows it too. Look at her blinding us with that thing. Tone it down, Chrissy. (Never tone it down, we love you).
This Royal Blue Gets Us Every Time
Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton with a gigantic blue sapphire. It used to belong to William's mother, Princess Diana.
The ring is valued at £300,000, which amounts to over $400,000 USD. The 12-carat sapphire is surrounded by 14 diamonds on an 18K gold band.
Beyoncé Wears $5 Million On One Finger
This 18-carat emerald cut diamond from Lorraine Schwartz is valued at around five million US dollars. Five. Million. Dollars.
I'm sorry, but that is more than my whole life. It's also more than Kate's diamond—probably because Kate is a duchess and Beyoncé is queen. Keep reading to see a ring that impressed an heiress.
Kirsten Dunst Rocks The Yellow Gold
Jesse Plemons proposed to his Fargo co-star, Kirsten Dunst with a beautiful oval diamond on a yellow gold band. It's valued at approximately $80,000.
This ring aligns with my personal taste more than any other ring on this list. How do you think it stacks up against the others?
Which Ring Does A Hearst Prefer?
Lydia Hearst is the great-granddaughter of newspaper publisher and politician William Randolph Hearst. She's a member of one of America's wealthiest families, and now she's the wife of comedian and Nerdist founder, Chris Hardwick.
The Asscher-cut center stone flanked by trapezoid side stones was handed down from Lydia's grandmother.
Natalie Portman's Husband Choreographed This Ring Perfectly
All of the diamonds on Natalie Portman's engagement ring are antique and conflict-free. Portman's now-husband, Benjamin Millepied, designed the ring with jeweler Jamie Wolf.
Wolf said, "the center diamond is surrounded by a halo of gems. Underneath the setting is all pavé-set gems covering a feminine V-like design. The intention was that the undercarriage of the design was something specially for her to see."
Jada Pinkett Smith Has A Seriously Heavy Ring
Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith have been married for over twenty years, which is several lifetimes in Hollywood years.
Sometimes Jada walks around without her engagement ring, which has sparked some divorce rumors— but as far as we know, Will and Jada are going strong. That thing looks heavy. You'd take it off sometimes too.
Kate's 8 (Carats)
Justin Verlander proposed to Kate Upton with a round, 8-carat diamond “set in a six prong setting with even more diamonds throughout,” according to jewelry expert Mark Keeney.
The ring is valued at close to $1.5 million. The couple got married in Tuscany and are now living happily ever after.
Miranda Kerr's Snapchat-worthy Ring
Snapchat CEO, Evan Speigel, proposed to his supermodel girlfriend (now wife) Miranda Kerr in 2016. It's fitting that Miranda announced her engagement with Snapchat Bitmojis.
There really is no better way to show off that 2-carat diamond valued at somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000.
Sofia Vergara Could Blind People With Hers
She should really put that thing away before she blinds somebody. Joe Manganiello proposed to Sofia on Christmas day, 2014. Jewelers have estimated that the massive diamond on Sofia's finger is somewhere between 5 to 7 carats.
Experts value this ring at a minimum of $500,000.
This Ring Is Pure Glee
Former Glee star Lea Michele showed off her impressive new engagement ring on Instagram at the end of April 2018.
Her man, Zandy Reich, popped the question with a 4-carat radiant cut ring. Reich is the president of the clothing company AYR. He and Lea have been dating since July 2017.
Turning Heads With This Pear-Shaped Stone
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner announced their engagement in October 2017. Sophia's pear-shaped center stone is approximately 3 carats in weight, and the whole ring put Jonas out about $30,000.
We would accept no less for our beloved Sansa. Welcome to the Stark clan, Joe!
Blake Lively Wears A Backup Ring
Blake Lively's gorgeous 12-carat oval diamond is worth over $2 million USD. Ryan Reynolds definitely knows how to pick 'em— rings and women, that is.
Blake also has a less expensive gold ring that says "Mrs. R" on it. Sometimes she swaps out her expensive diamond for the cheaper alternative when she's out and about.
Jessica Biel's JT-Designed Ring
Justin Timberlake designed this stunner all by himself. Biel says she doesn't micromanage and that JT has better taste, anyway.
The center cushion cut square diamond weighs in at approximately 6 carats. The aquamarine gems on either side of the gigantic diamond are a nice touch. Aquamarine is Jessica's birthstone.
Meghan Markle's Sparkler
During a sit-down interview with BBC, Prince Harry said, "the ring is obviously yellow gold because that's [Markle's] favorite and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds either side are from my mother's jewelry collection, to make sure that she's with us on this crazy journey together."
Nice job, Harry. We approve.
Amal Clooney Wants Something Smaller
Amal's platinum mounted engagement ring is valued at approximately $750,000. It's stunning, George, it really is.
Apparently, Amal is looking to downgrade her ring to something more practical for everyday wear. She doesn't want the ring to attract attention when she's working serious, high-profile cases.
The Ring That YouTube Bought
Marzia Bisognin is married to Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, better known as Pewdiepie, a major YouTube personality.
Marzia also has her own youtube channel where she shares fashion and beauty advice, travel videos, and glimpses of the couple's two adorable pugs. Felix and Marzia met in 2011 and have been together ever since.
Kim Kardashian's Upgrade Ring Was Stolen
After landing a massive deal with Adidas, Kanye decided to upgrade Kim's engagement ring. He surprised her with a $4.5 million 20-carat emerald cut diamond.
Unfortunately, robbers broke into Kardashian's Paris apartment and took the ring and other valuables. Tough luck. The couple split after six years of marriage.
Paris Hilton Almost Lost Hers In An Ice Bucket
We've saved the biggest for last. Look at that thing! It's huge! That is a 20-carat, $2 million diamond.
She's been wearing the ring proudly since her beau Chris Zylka proposed. She almost lost it in a bucket of ice at a nightclub once, but then she found it so it's all good.
Miley Cyrus Might Prefer A Gummy Ring
Although Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth called off their engagement in 2013, Miley started wearing her engagement ring again in 2016. After getting married, the couple divorced in 2019.
Miley admitted that the ring is not really her aesthetic. Apparently, she prefers to wear jewelry made out of gummy bears.
