The Most Beautiful Celebrity Engagement Rings
Katherine Schwarzenegger
Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger announced their engagement on January 14, after just seven months of dating.
Announcing the news on Instagram, Pratt wrote, "Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I'm thrilled to be marrying you.
"Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go!"
Schwarzenegger later shared the same photo, with her diamond ring front and centre, on her Instagram with the caption, "My sweet love. Wouldn't want to live this life with anyone but you."
Pratt is believed to have spent six figures on the diamond sparkler.
Kathryn Money, Brilliant Earth‘s vice president of strategy and merchandising, told Page Six Style, “Depending on the quality and specific characteristics of the centre diamond, we estimate the cost of the ring at approximately $150,000 to $250,000 or more."
Meghan Markle
Prince Harry knows how to pick an engagement ring! Markle's ring is made from three main stones, the centre of which is a cushion-cut diamond from Botswana, a place "close to the hearts" of both Meghan and Harry and where they first holidayed together.
The huge centre-stone is flanked by two side-stones, both round-cut and taken from the personal collection of Harry's late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.
Anna Heinrich
Four years after announcing his love for blonde bombshell Anna Heinrich on The Bachelor Australia, Tim Robards proposed to the criminal lawyer turned media darling over the weekend with a stunning emerald cut diamond ring.
The sparkler shown in Anna's adorable engagement post is estimated to be worth up to a whopping $173,000.
"Anna was given what is essentially a flawless 4 carat diamond," David Allen, creative director of 77diamonds told The Daily Mail.
"The ring features a beautiful emerald cut diamond with round side stones set into a platinum band. The central diamond appears to be approximately 4 carats."
"With emerald cut diamonds, it's important to choose a stone with high clarity, because flaws, if they are present, are more visible than in round diamonds, which have more facets to them," he continued.
"So we would assume Tim selected an optimum grading. A ring of this style and size could stretch up to $200,000 in price."
Nice work bachie, and congrats to the happy couple!
Jesinta Campbell
Jesinta Campbell’s dazzling 4.5 carat sparkler which Buddy Franklin gave when he popped the question back in December 2014 was designed by the AFL star with the help of Sydney jeweller Patrick Nader of Nader Jewellers. The ring is believed to be worth between $75,000 and $100,000. "Jesinta had no idea about (the engagement) and we had to tap into the things she loves," Nader told Daily Mail. "Jesinta is outgoing, a bit more bubbly, a bit more savvy and edgy in her dress code - so we opted for an Asscher cut with some bling around it so it sparkles a bit more."
Miranda Kerr
Miranda’s beau Evan Spiegel popped the question with a 2.25 carat ring believed to have cost between $100,000 and $150,000. Modest some might say considering Speigl is worth $2.6 billion. The design is a classic round diamond offset by two tapered baguettes on either side.
