Celebrity Engagement Rings

When Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes proposed to his girlfriend of eight years, he chose a ring with plenty of stadium-worthy impact and sparkle. Long-time sweethearts Patrick and Britany met while attending Whitehouse High School in Texas, and their engagement came after eight years together as a couple. 

Brittany Matthews’ engagement ring features a large emerald-cut diamond in the region of 8 to 10 carats. The elegant central diamond is set on diamond-studded double bands of white gold or platinum, a color choice that pairs well with the center stone. While the exact price of Brittany’s engagement ring is unknown, estimates place it anywhere between $350,000 and $800,000.

Renowned human rights lawyer Amal Clooney sports a dazzling 7-carat emerald-cut engagement ring in a platinum setting. Amal and husband George Clooney were married in September 2014 in Venice, just a few months after actor George proposed. 

While unique engagement rings are on the rise, with a broad range of styles and colors adorning celebrity fingers, Amal Clooney’s ring stands testament to the impact of timeless and traditional design. This ring’s central diamond is complemented by tapered baguette diamonds on either side of the statement band. The whole package is worth an estimated $750,000.

Chrissy Teigen’s engagement ring is chic, timeless, and has endless sparkle. It features a dazzling cushion-cut diamond atop a pavé diamond band, making it the perfect match for Chrissy’s classic style. Worth an estimated $150,000 to $200,000, the engagement ring effortlessly mixes classic and modern styles.

Chrissy Teigen married music icon John Legend in 2013, two years after he proposed in 2011 and seven years after the pair first met in 2006 on the set of one of Legend’s music videos. The couple now have two children and are hoping for a third. 

Singer Kanye West popped the question with a sumptuous 15-carat, cushion-cut diamond engagement ring. While the central diamond is undoubtedly the star of the show, the ultra-delicate pavé band complements the large stone perfectly. The dazzling ring reportedly doubled as a present for Kim Kardashian’s 33rd birthday celebration. 

Keeping up with the Kardashians is one thing, but keeping up with the most expensive celebrity engagement rings is quite another. Reports indicate that Kanye spent a cool eight million on Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring when he proposed in 2013.

When former NFL player Eric Johnson proposed to singer and actress Jessica Simpson in 2010, he chose something a little different from the norm. At a relatively modest $100,000, it’s not among the most expensive of celebrity engagement rings, but the piece certainly shows that price isn’t everything. 

Jessica Simpson’s engagement ring is a bold three-stone design and features a large central ruby flanked by two diamonds of a similar size. Rubies of this caliber are rare and hard to find, making this piece one of the most unusual celebrity engagement rings. The traditional yellow gold setting, which is making a comeback of late, sets off the central stone and pairs well with the substantial diamonds.

Their music might be more than a few genres apart but Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s engagement was happy news to fans of both singers. 

When Blake proposed in 2020 to his fellow The Voice judge, he chose both size and style. Gwen Stefani’s engagement ring features a large central emerald-cut diamond with trapezoid sides. Two smaller flanking diamonds on either side of the main stone add extra sparkle and complement the show-stopper, which is estimated at 8 carats. According to reports, the ring is worth around half a million dollars, making it one of the more expensive celebrity engagement rings.

Reese Witherspoon’s engagement ring is a far cry from the candy-pink diamond her character Elle Woods wore in the second Legally Blonde movie. When Jim Toth proposed to Reese in 2010, he chose a classic and elegant design with a twist. 

This celebrity engagement ring features an Ashoka-cut central diamond and a fine white gold or platinum setting that’s accented with pavé diamonds. A branded cut, the Ashoka design is similar to a rectangular cushion cut but has more facets, giving the central stone additional dazzle and shine. Reese Witherspoon’s engagement ring is worth an estimated $450,000, little wonder she’s never pictured without it.

To call Catherine Zeta-Jones’ engagement ring striking is an understatement. The Welsh actress flaunts a vintage Fred Leighton ring with an imposing 10-carat marquise cut diamond. No less than 28 smaller diamonds surround the center stone and add additional sparkle. A simple pavé eternity band complements the setting and keeps the attention firmly on the show-stopping diamond. 

Reportedly worth one million dollars, Catherine Zeta-Jones’ engagement ring received nearly as much tabloid attention as news of the actress’ relationship with fellow actor Michael Douglas.  

They might have abdicated from their royal duties, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still very much in the spotlight. When the British Prince proposed to the American actress in 2017, he opted for a custom ring that he helped to design.

Meghan Markle’s original engagement ring was a three-stone dazzler with a cushion-cut center stone and flanking round diamonds set on a yellow gold band. Each jewel in Markle’s engagement ring came from Princess Diana’s personal collection. In 2019, the couple had the $350,000 ring resized and reset; it now features a thinner, pavé-encrusted band.

Ariana Grande’s engagement ring is one of the most unusual and modern celebrity engagement rings around, not least because the singer’s fiancé was heavily involved in its creation and design.

When he proposed in 2021, Dalton Gomez presented Ariana with a truly unique engagement ring. The contemporary piece features an off-centered oval diamond and a delicate pearl set on a fine white gold or platinum band. Reports indicate that the ring is worth around $200,000 to $250,000, depending on the central stone’s qualities.

(Note from Peter Norman – We can make something very much like this… but we have no examples of similar pieces that are a close match.)

2021 Bachelorette Clare Crawley sports an art-deco style engagement ring with plenty of sparkle and shine. Once Clare chose beau Dale Moss from the show’s hopefuls, the ring was her next priority, and Clare had plenty of input in its final design.

Clare Crawley’s exquisite engagement ring shines with a 4.5-carat radiant-cut diamond and two complementing shield-shaped diamonds in a platinum setting. The sparkle doesn’t stop there, though, 145 additional small round diamonds and a somewhat unique design give this celebrity engagement ring real star status.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are finally together again almost 20 years apart after their first engagement – and it looks like it’s for good this time. The couple announced their engagement on 9 April 2022. Jennifer was proposed to with a stunning emerald cut 8.5-carat natural green diamond engagement ring from the Batman star. 

Described as exceptionally rare, the ring’s center stone is hugged by two trapezoid-shaped white diamonds. The diamond is set in gold prongs, which when contrasted against its white base, further accentuates the diamond’s saturated hues. It is estimated that the ring costs anywhere between $5-$10 million.

Flip or Flop star Tarek El Moussa proposed to fellow reality TV star Heather Rae Young in 2020 with an extravagant 8.08-carat emerald-cut engagement ring. Heather’s original diamond ring was stunning with its simple gold band, and in 2021 it was upgraded to include smaller emerald-cut diamonds all the way around the band for extra pizazz and to make the center stone pop even more. 

While we don’t know the exact cost of Heather Rae Young’s classic style engagement ring, a diamond solitaire of that size suggests that this ring could be among the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.

Nothing says old Hollywood glamour like Grace Kelly’s three-stone ring. The emerald-cut center stone is flanked by baguettes on either side for a gorgeous, classic look. Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956, and her imposing diamond ring has gone down in the history books as one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings to date.

Worth an estimated 4.06 million dollars at the time, the ring features a 10.4-carat emerald-cut Cartier diamond. Today, Grace Kelly’s engagement ring could be worth as much as 38 million.

In 2020 actress Lily Collins began flaunting her “favorite new accessory” on social media channels. The piece in question is her engagement ring from writer and director Charlie McDowell. Lily Collins’ engagement ring is an understated beauty and features a ‘see-through’ diamond.

Unusual among celebrity engagement rings, Lily’s stone is a square rose-cut diamond of around 3 to 4 carats. The ring’s bezel setting means the wearer’s skin is just visible through the central stone. This gives the piece a soft glow that is further complemented by the yellow gold band.

Scarlett Johansson’s engagement ring is one of the more unusual celebrity engagement rings around. While diamonds of this size aren’t unheard of – the stone on Scarlett’s ring is around 11 carats – the setting and colors are very unique.

The star here is the large, amber-colored diamond, which has been cut into an elongated oval shape that’s narrower at the top than the bottom. It’s set on a black ceramic band that features a dramatic curve for the stone to nestle in. When Colin Jost proposed in 2020, he spared little expense; Scarlett Johansson’s engagement ring is worth around $450,000.

Shailene Woodley’s engagement ring is a classic and traditional piece with plenty of sparkle. The ring features a 4 to 5-carat round-cut diamond solitaire set in platinum, which adds to the dazzle factor and sets off the central stone well.

Worth an estimated $90,000, Shailene’s engagement ring was debuted in 2021 when fiancé Aaron Rodger proposed. For many, the classy and timeless ring was a welcome change from the rather more ostentatious celebrity engagement rings adorning Hollywood fingers.

True Blood star Joe Manganiello proposed to Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara with a gorgeous cushion-cut diamond ring. The vintage-style ring features a few extras besides the stunning center stone; a diamond halo and pavé band both add more wow-factor sparkle.

According to reports, Sofia Vergara’s diamond engagement ring boasts 6 to 7 carats and is worth an estimated half a million dollars, placing it firmly among the most expensive celebrity engagement rings.

Tennis superstar Serena Williams flaunts a show-stopping three-stone engagement ring. Featuring the popular oval-cut diamond flanked by half-moon side stones, this spectacular ring boasts around 12 carats in total across the three stones. The popular three-stone style is finished off perfectly with a platinum setting.

Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian proposed to Serena in 2017 and Serena later confirmed the engagement in fitting style for the couple: on Reddit.

For a stunning alternative to a traditional celebrity engagement ring, Anna Faris wears a beautiful fancy yellow diamond ring. The large cushion-cut center stone has a diamond halo, making it even more dazzling.

Natural yellow diamonds are rare, which can make them much more expensive than clear stones. The exact cost of Anna Faris’ engagement ring is being kept firmly between Anna and her cinematographer fiancé Michael Barrett, but some estimates place the ring’s value at around $100,000.

Featuring an emerald-cut center stone atop a split shank that provides support for the large stone, Beyonce’s engagement ring is absolutely striking. This style dazzles either with or without a diamond halo. Pavé set diamonds on the band of Beyonce’s ring add just the right amount of extra elegant sparkle without taking any attention away from the main stone. 

Beyonce announced her engagement to fellow singer Jay Z in April 2008, and both the announcement and the engagement ring received much media attention. While reports are mixed, Beyonce’s engagement ring boasts 18 to 24 carats and is worth around five million dollars, one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings currently being worn. 

Britney Spears’ engagement ring, which she received from Sam Asghari in 2021, is a classic design that will never go out of style: a solitaire featuring a round, brilliant-cut diamond. Timeless in its beauty, this ring makes a simple but beautiful statement.

The 4-carat solitaire diamond sits in such a way that it looks as if it’s floating, and the stunning platinum setting compliments the stone. A true one-off, the inside of mega-celebrity Britney’s engagement ring is inscribed with the word ‘lioness.’
