We know from history that the size of a ring isn’t necessarily indicative of love or commitment, but, gosh, aren’t huge diamond rings nice to look at?

Over the years, there have been several celebrity engagement rings that have tipped the scales over from ‘average’ to ‘completely insane’—from Elizabeth Taylor’s 33.19-carat diamond stunner, to Princess Diana and Duchess Catherine’s iconic 18-carat sapphire.
In pursuit of some completely gratuitous diamond-ogling, we’ve rounded up 19 of the biggest engagement rings in Tinseltown history.
