Top 7 Most Expensive Engagement Rings
This following question is eternal – how much should a man spend on an engagement ring? Most future brides will say that as much as possible while others will say that the ring must have a personal touch to it as well, or be something simple, yet stunningly beautiful.
In this respect, one could rely on the most popular jewelry store they have in town or take it a notch up and opt for handmade engagement rings.
However, the goal of this article is to showcase seven of the most expensive engagement rings in the world – so, hold on tight, because the cost and glamour of the following rings will only increase.
$4.7 million – Paris Hilton’s Engagement Ring
This ring was given to Hilton by her ex-fiancé, Paris Latsis – it is a 24-carat canary diamond ring valued at around $4.7 million.
Ultimately, the wedding of the two didn’t take place – however, Hilton decided to sell the ring in order to help the victims of hurricane Katrina. Quite a considerate choice, given the fact that, when a wedding gets canceled, the former-soon-to-be groom is left with the engagement ring – and, in most cases, it will take some time until he finds another lucky woman.
$5 million – Beyonce’s Engagement Ring
Before they got married, Jay-Z offered his future wife a Lorraine Schwartz ring, valued at around $5 million.
The ring is an 18-carat flawlessly emerald-cut diamond, positioned on a split shank band which also features micro pave diamonds.
$5.4 million – Anna Kournikova’s Engagement Ring
Reportedly, Enrique Iglesias bought this ring from Argyle, Western Australia. The ring features a dazzling champagne and cognac 11-carat diamond that’s shaped like a pear. The mount may be simple, but it features diamond accents as well.
$8 million – Kim Kardashian’s Engagement Ring
Yet another Lorraine Schwartz ring, this time sported by the one and only Kim Kardashian – naturally, it was given to her by her husband, Kanye West.
The ring is a 15-carat D color cushion-cut diamond which is set on a thin platinum band that features micro pave diamonds as well.
$8.8 million – Elizabeth Taylor’s Engagement Ring
This time we have a Krupp diamond ring, given to the late Elizabeth Taylor by her ex-husband, Richard Burton.
Impressively, the ring is a 33.10-carat Asscher diamond ring – moreover, it is GIA certified. The diamond is considered one of the largest that is in private ownership – it also comes with high clarity and it is chemically pure as well. Auctioned after her death, the ring is now in the possession of an anonymous Asian collector.
$9.5 million – Blue Diamond by Bvlgari
Currently owned by Graff Diamonds, the ring was sold at an auction held in London, by Bonham’s Fine Jewelry. The ring is a 5.4-carat blue diamond one – and, to be honest, it looks more than just impressive, as the mount seems to feature diamonds as well.
