With access to up and coming designers and exclusive collections, your favourite celebrities are always one step ahead of the rest of us. The red carpet isn’t the only place we look to Hollywood stars for guidance though.
We know engagement rings have an amazing history and they are just as much a fashion statement for celebrities as the gown they wear to the Oscars or the suit they pull off so legendarily at the Academy Awards. Most celebrities have the budget to invest in customized engagement rings and these, in particular, say a lot about ones’ personality and the intimacy of the future marries couple to be. Check our mix of the coolest celeb engagement rings!
Beyoncé
Often referred to as the Queen B by her “beehive” aka, her fans, it is hardly a surprise Beyoncé would be rocking an engagement ring rumored to have cost around $5 million dollars. Husband, Jay Z, clearly has an exquisite taste: Beyoncé’s emerald cut diamond ring is made up of no less than 18 carats, and was made by her favourite jeweller, Lorraine Schwartz. Only the best for Queen B!
Meghan Markle
It’s only been a few months since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot, but we just couldn’t resist admiring her elegant engagement ring again. It’s not just the ring itself that is special, but the story behind it. Harry added extra emotional value to this Botswanan three-carat cushion-cut diamond by embellishing it with two diamond side stones gifted to him by his mother, Diana.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton doesn’t need to do much to remain in the spotlight – her fashion sense and style does it for her. Luckily, she has found a partner who understands she has a reputation as a fashion icon to uphold – Chris Zylka went above and beyond with this stunning, massive 20 carat, pear-shaped diamond engagement ring for his beloved Paris. Any man with such an eye for beauty is definitely a keeper. And you know what they say, Paris: third time’s a charm!
Irina Shayk
Russian supermodel Irina Shayk is famous for her seductive looks in campaigns for brands such as Victoria’s Secret, Roberto Cavalli and bebe. Lately, however, no one’s really interested in her but what’s on her finger! Since her fiancé, Bradley Cooper, popped the question in July, Irina has been proudly showing off her oval cut, diamond and emerald ring any chance she can get. And, let us tell you – as far as celebrity engagement rings go, this design is particularly unique.
Eva Longoria
Former Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria, is currently in a total state of bliss over the recent birth of her son, Santiago. The last time we saw her smiling this brightly, was when husband José Antonio Bastón Patiño popped the question with a ridiculously romantic, iconic round sapphire cradled in a diamond bauble. Apparently, it was a bit much for Eva, who considers herself to be a simple kind of gal where jewellry is concerned, but we’ll bet our lives she wears it whenever she possibly gets the chance.
Allison Williams
As her character, Marnie, on the HBO hit show Girls, Allison Williams was always dressed and styled to the nines in sophisticated cuts and immaculate hairdos. Turns out, the real-life Allison Williams is all about timeless, jewellry classics too and husband, Ricky van Veen, proved he’s been paying attention. Her round, 3-carat diamond with its solitaire setting and baguette side stones on a platinum band, made Williams’ smile sparkle even brighter.
