    Iconic Engagement Rings Throughout History

    When it comes to engagement rings, some stand out not only for their stunning beauty but also for their historical significance and the love stories they represent. From royal gems to Hollywood treasures, here are some of the most famous engagement rings of all time.

    Princess Diana & Kate Middleton’s Sapphire Ring

    One of the most recognizable engagement rings in the world, this 12-carat Ceylon sapphire surrounded by a halo of diamonds was originally given to Princess Diana by Prince Charles in 1981. After her passing, Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton with the same ring in 2010, making it a cherished royal heirloom.

    Jackie Kennedy’s Emerald and Diamond Ring

    John F. Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953 with a striking 2.88-carat diamond and 2.84-carat emerald ring, set in a unique bypass design. This elegant and unconventional choice remains an inspiration for those who love vintage glamour.

    Hailey Bieber’s Oval Diamond Ring

    Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey Baldwin with a sleek and modern 10-carat oval-cut diamond ring, designed by Solow & Co. The elongated shape and delicate band give it a timeless yet contemporary elegance, making it one of the most admired rings in recent celebrity history.

    Lucille Ball’s Gold and Cushion-Cut Diamond Ring

    When Desi Arnaz proposed to Lucille Ball, he initially couldn't afford an extravagant ring, so he gifted her a simple gold band. Later, he upgraded it to a stunning 40-carat cushion-cut diamond ring. The evolution of her engagement jewelry mirrors their legendary love story.

    Anna Kournikova’s Pear-Shaped Pink Diamond Ring

    Tennis star Anna Kournikova has been seen wearing two different engagement rings from Enrique Iglesias. One of the most famous is her breathtaking pink pear-shaped diamond ring, estimated to be around 11 carats, which adds a striking pop of color to traditional engagement styles.

    Beyoncé’s 24-Carat Diamond Ring

    When Jay-Z proposed to Beyoncé, he chose an awe-inspiring 24-carat emerald-cut diamond set in platinum, designed by Lorraine Schwartz. This jaw-dropping ring is one of the most valuable and luxurious celebrity engagement rings ever.

    These legendary engagement rings have set trends, inspired generations, and continue to captivate jewelry lovers worldwide. Whether you're drawn to timeless classics or bold, extravagant designs, finding the perfect engagement ring is about capturing a love story that lasts a lifetime.
