Grace Kelly

Prince Rainier III of Monaco originally proposed to Grace Kelly with a Cartier eternity band of rubies and diamonds — until he saw other Hollywood leading ladies sporting flashier sparklers. The royal then presented his bride-to-be with a second Cartier style: a 10.5-carat emerald-cut diamond flanked by two baguettes.

Meghan Markle

In November 2017, Prince Harry proposed to Meghan Markle [5], presenting her with a ring many would consider priceless. Set on a yellow gold band, the centre stone of the ring is from Botswana and is surrounded by two diamonds from the late Princess Diana's personal jewellery collection.

Ciara

Ciara and Seattle Seahawks star Russell Wilson got engaged in the Seychelles in March 2016 [6]. The songstress received a massive 16-carat diamond to seal the deal.

Emily Blunt

John Krasinski [7] popped the question to Emily in August 2009. Her Neil Lane vintage-inspired stunner [8] features a three-carat Edwardian diamond set in platinum and is worth around $100K.

Mia Farrow

In June 1966, Frank Sinatra proposed to Farrow with a massive 9-carat solitaire, pear-shaped diamond. The marriage only lasted two years, but the ring cemented its place in jewellery history.

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham reportedly has 13 large engagement-style rings from her husband of 20 years [9], David, and she regularly rotates wearing them. This emerald dazzler is just one of many.

Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie gave us major royal vibes when she showed off her blush-coloured padparadscha sapphire [10] ring surrounded by diamonds from Jack Brooksbank. The sparkler was not only similar in colour and style to that of her own mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, but also featured the same gemstone (albeit in a different hue) as Kate Middleton's.

Kate Middleton

Princess Diana actually figures prominently into both of her son's ring choices. The approximately

$50,000 12-carat sapphire and diamond ring [11] Prince William gave to Kate Middleton was his late mother's engagement ring from Prince Charles.

Olivia Wilde

Olivia and Jason Sudeikis announced their engagement in 2013. Wilde's antique yellow gold ring [12] features a centre diamond surrounded by an emerald halo.

Blake Lively

Designed by Lorraine Schwartz, Blake's 12-carat oval shape ring with rose-gold accents from Ryan Reynolds [13] has an estimated value of $2 million. The sparkler is still one of the most requested celebrity styles [14] from brides-to-be.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Natalie Portman

Portman's ring from husband Benjamin Millepied was designed (by jeweler Jamie Wolfe) with her eco-conscious and vegan values in mind.

Jessica Biel
