The Most Expensive Celebrity Engagement Rings
In the celebrity world, opulence knows no bounds. Celebrities who embark on the journey of love spare no expense in symbolising their commitment with breathtaking engagement rings. In 2023, the stakes are higher than ever, with jaw-dropping diamonds and unique designs making headlines.
Grace Kelly – A Timeless Love Story
In a wedding reminiscent of a fairytale, the late Grace Kelly, whose timeless elegance still resonates, had her engagement ring from Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956 and was priced at $4.6 million. The exquisite ring features a 10.47-carat emerald-cut diamond was designed by Cartier. The royal union, even posthumously, remains one of the most enduring love stories, and the estimated value today of the bridal set, combining the engagement ring and wedding band, is a regal $44.3 million.
Mariah Carey – All That Glitters
Clocking in as the most expensive, modern-day celebrity engagement ring, Maria Carey’s ring from ex-fiancé James Packer boasts a stunning 35-carat emerald-cut diamond, making it one of the largest celebrity engagement rings in history and reportedly cost $10 million. On another note, the “Obsessed” singer seemed to be obsessed with the jewel while she continued to wear the ring over a year post-breakup, and didn’t part ways until May 2018, selling it to a Los Angeles jeweller for $2.1 million.
Beyoncé – The Radiant White Elegance
It should come as no surprise that Queen Bey herself totes one of the world’s highest-valued diamonds. Beyonce’s engagement ring from Jay-Z is a masterpiece, featuring a rare 24-carat emerald-cut white diamond. This extraordinary ring is today estimated to be worth a staggering $6.89 million.
Jennifer Lopez – The Bennifer romance
When J.Lo first got engaged to Ben Affleck in 2002, the singer received quite a pricey piece of jewelry. At the time, her pale pink 6.1-carat ring ran Ben Affleck $1,200,000 (now worth over $1,979,000). However, it’s her second ring from Affleck that truly stole the show—an 8.5ct. natural green diamond center stone flanked by a pair of trapezoid-shaped white diamonds. The price tag? $5 to 7 million.
Paris Hilton – A greek affair
Remember when Paris Hilton got engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis? We barely do either, but we do remember her sporting the ring around on the red carpet circa 2005, estimated to be worth $4,700,000 at the time. Today, the ring has seen a significant increase in value at around $7.1 million.
Celebrity engagements are often marked by extravagant gestures, and their choice of engagement rings reflects not only personal taste but also the wealth within the entertainment industry. In 2023, these extraordinary rings stand as symbols of love, commitment, and, undoubtedly, unparalleled luxury.
