At the center of attention, dazzling and giving a detailed depiction of elegance, the diamond engagement rings in Cranbourne are always in the focus of every media’s eye. Yes, we are talking about the collection of diamond engagement rings worn by celebrities.
A diamond is forever, but for some celebrities, their engagement rings are a little more blingy. From $2 million-plus engagement rings to the most expensive engagement ring sold for almost $25 million (yes, it was for a celebrity, and yes, you probably know who it is), these are surely the most extravagant celebrity engagement rings to date.
Here, we will take a look at the celebrities who have worn beautiful diamond engagement rings and share some interesting facts about these celebrities.
Grace Kelly
One of history’s most famous diamonds was thrust upon Grace Kelly by Prince Rainier of Monaco shortly after they began dating. The stunning piece was a 12-carat emerald-cut diamond ring which is the perfect shape for showcasing a large stone. It’s difficult to describe what makes such a ring so special.
But, it probably has something to do with the fact that the diamond has an estimated worth of $9-10 million in today’s market – it’s definitely one you don’t want to lose!
Lady Diana
Lady Diana Spencer had a love for sapphires. At the age of 23, she was engaged to Charles, Prince of Wales, with a ring made of a blue oval sapphire, 18-carat that was encircled by fourteen diamonds. She wore this ring until she separated from him four years after their marriage.
Lady Diana was betrothed on February 24, 1981, with a ring composed of a blue oval sapphire, 18-carat that was encircled by 14 diamonds. She spent approximately £30,000 in total from the engagement ring equally with her engagement ring and the wedding ring to estimate about £1 million ($910,000) in 2014.
James Allen wanted to make the diamond engagement ring of Lady Diana Spencer – one of the most iconic engagement rings in history. James Allen wasn’t sure if he could pull it off and approached Harry F Truman in Antwerp for a job that would help him gain acceptance into the world of diamonds.
Priscilla
Priscilla Presley gave up her diamond engagement ring from Elvis in a divorce settlement to help pay off the debts they amassed in their 14-year marriage.
The auction for this ring began at $600,000 and reached $1.25 million before closing on Thursday, December 9 at 3 p.m. The 3.5-carat ring was the property of the family of Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, who received it as a gift from Elvis Presley on July 7, 1973 — just three days before he proposed to her in Arizona.
Sharon Stone
In June 1997, Sharon Stone was given a three diamond, 3 1/2 carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring by Phil Bronstein. The next year, for Christmas 1998, he gave her another ring, but this time it was a 10-carat heart-shaped diamond. This estimated $1 million gift cost him a whopping $20 million.
Of course, since the bride must always have more bling on her finger so in 1999, she received an additional gift of a seven-carat diamond bracelet and earrings that were translucent deep blue sapphires.
