“Ruby’s engagement ring is stirring up quite the buzz, showcasing a distinctive vintage flair with what appears to be a stunning aquamarine centerpiece.

Aquamarine emerges as a romantic choice for an engagement ring, not only as the official stone for 19th wedding anniversaries but also symbolising a blissful and enduring married life, fostering traits of faithfulness, courage and friendship.

I’d estimate a sparkler like Ruby’s to be worth $12,000.”

“Ed popped the question with an engagement ring that boasts a 5ct oval cut diamond in a solitaire setting, sat on a yellow gold band. Amy is in good company with her sparkler as oval was the most popular cut for celebrity engagement rings in 2023, with 34% opting for the classically elegant shape.

Representing uniqueness and individuality, the shape of the ring is a flawless match for Amy, who has achieved success in both the modelling and acting industries. Due to their similarity to the shape of an egg, many associate oval cuts with fertility, rebirth and family – adding to the rings sentimentality, this is incredibly poignant for Amy who is starting a family with Ed and her son from her first marriage.

I’d estimate Amy’s engagement ring to be worth $300,000 (£240,000).”

“Featuring an 8-10 carat oval cut emerald, Dakota’s ring is certainly impressive. The huge stone appears to be sat in a halo setting, which further accentuates its beauty. 

The actress is clearly a fan of the highly precious gemstone as she’s previously been seen sporting an elegant cushion cut emerald ring. The stone of the heart, emeralds symbolise mercy, compassion and universal love – making them the ideal choice for an engagement ring. 

Dakota stunned us with the ring when she wore it to her 34th birthday celebrations last month, sparking speculation that she’s engaged to Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin. She’ll be in good company if it is in fact an engagement ring as celebrities sporting emerald engagement rings include Rita Ora, who received a 10 carat emerald cut Columbian green emerald from Taika Waititi. 

Though it’s dependent on the quality of the stone, Dakota’s ring could easily be worth $500,000 (£400,000).”

“A huge congratulations are in order for Lucy Spraggan and Emilia Smith, who have announced their engagement on Instagram.

Lucy popped the question with a stunning engagement ring that features what appears to be a 1 carat marquise cut diamond in a solitaire setting. Exuding a timeless elegance that captivates the eye, marquise cut diamonds boast an elongated shape and pointed ends. The solitaire setting shifts all the attention to Emilia’s sparkling diamond.

Often regarded as a symbol of friendship, marquise cut diamonds represent the lasting bond and connection between two individuals – making the stone the perfect choice for Emilia, who has been friends with Lucy for ten years.

“When Kai proposed to Sanam, he did so with a stunning ring that perfectly compliments the beauty of his heartfelt proposal.

Adorned with over 1 carat of dazzling diamonds, the double halo design features a central round-cut diamond encircled by ten additional round-cut diamonds, all embraced by a halo of pave diamonds. The ring’s brilliance is heightened by diamond-set shoulders, adding to its allure.

Double halo engagement rings serve as potent symbols of enduring love and unwavering commitment. The intertwining of halo rings with celestial motifs paints a vivid picture of divine purity and an ethereal connection that transcends the ordinary.

I’d estimate Sanam’s sparkler to be worth around £5,000 ($6,300).”

“Amidst the dazzling spectacle of the Met Gala, it’s easy to overlook details, but Phoebe Dynevor’s massive engagement ring demanded attention, capturing our gaze effortlessly.

The ‘Bridgerton’ stars sparkler features what appears to be a 3 carat oval cut diamond, sat on a yellow gold band. The stone is bezel-set, which means that it’s held in place by a metal rim that encircles its perimeter.

Identified as a Jessica McCormack engagement ring, it’s likely to have a high price tag. I’d estimate it to retail at around £100,000 ($125,000).”

“Newly engaged Huma Abedin proudly displayed her stunning diamond ring from fiancé Alex Soros in New York City on Wednesday – and it’s quite the showstopper!

The platinum ring features an emerald-cut diamond that I’d estimate to be between 6 to 7 carats. While the dazzling centre stone appears to be set in a solitaire style, the exact details are challenging to confirm from the available photos.

Prized for their elegant appearance, emerald cut diamonds tend to be one of the least expensive diamond cuts because they lose just 20% of the rough stone. In the world of fine jewellery, they symbolize sophistication, clarity, and timeless beauty.

Given Alex Soros’s substantial wealth as a billionaire, it’s safe to assume that the diamond is natural, meaning that it boasts a potential value of around $300,000.”

“The 1975 frontman Matt Healy has asked the all-important question to his girlfriend, Gabbriette Bechtel, and he did so with an engagement ring that’s both unique and rare.

Gabbriette’s stunning ring features a black cushion-cut diamond, estimated to be around 5 carats. Set in a halo setting, the ring’s sparkle is further enhanced by its pavé band. 

Black diamonds symbolise power, elegance, mystery, and strength. Their popularity in engagement rings appears to have risen since Big gave Carrie a 5-carat black diamond engagement ring in the 2010 movie, ‘Sex and the City 2’. Celebrities including Carmen Electra and Kat Von D have also showcased black diamond engagement rings.

Despite their rarity, black diamonds are not excessively valuable. I’d estimate the value of this ring to be around $15,000 (£11,700).”

Round-cut diamonds are renowned for their unparalleled brilliance and timeless appeal. In 2023, they were the top choice among our clientele for engagement rings. An impressive 44% of our sold rings featured this classic cut, which symbolises eternity, infinity, and wholeness.

The four-claw setting of Maria’s ring is also immensely popular, aligning with the majority of modern engagement ring designs available in retail stores and online. The simple, uncluttered style allows the center stone to shine with minimal distraction.

I’d estimate the value of the sparkler to be around $150,000, which is approximately £117,000.”

The sparkler showcases a stunning 3.5 carat round-cut diamond in a solitaire setting. A timeless and popular choice, round-cut diamonds are especially romantic for engagement rings, as their shape symbolises eternal love.

Emma has opted for a thick gold band, which is an unconventional choice since most people favour a thin band in order to accentuate the size of their diamond.

Nicola’s stunning ring boasts a 1.5-carat oval cut diamond. This modified version of the round brilliant cut features a longer, rounded shape that can make the hand and fingers appear slimmer. Each month, a staggering 76,000 people worldwide search for ‘oval cut engagement rings.’ Nicola joins an illustrious group of celebrities, including Perrie Edwards and Blake Lively, who also favour the versatile cut.

The beautiful diamond is sat on what appears to be a rose or yellow gold band, in a classic solitaire setting that highlights the sparkling gem.

I’d estimate Nicola’s ring to be worth £15,000. While this is a relatively modest price for a celebrity engagement ring, the typical expenditure on an engagement ring in 2024 falls between £4,000 and £5,000.”

“Kaley’s stunning engagement ring showcases a 6 carat cushion-cut centre diamond, uniquely flanked by two baguette-cut diamonds.

The sparkler – which was designed by Tom and Shahla Karimi Jewelry – offers an intriguing twist on the traditional three-stone ring. While one side stone is set horizontally, the other is set vertically, giving it an unconventional look.

Three-stone engagement rings traditionally symbolise a couple’s past, present, and future. The impressive size of Kaley’s centre stone highlights the strength and significance of the couple’s current commitment.

I’d estimate Kaley’s one of a kind ring to be worth $200,000.”

“First spotted together just last year, Justin and Nicole’s whirlwind romance suggests they won’t have a lengthy engagement.

Nicole’s ring features a breath-taking 4-carat emerald-cut diamond, set in platinum with an 18-carat yellow gold inlay. Beyond their beauty, emerald-cut diamonds symbolise stability, strength, and a profound, supportive love and commitment.

Adding a personal touch, the couple’s birthstones – Justin’s peridot and Nicole’s aquamarine – are said to be embedded in the band. These stones are believed to carry their own special meanings, with peridot symbolising strength and positivity, and aquamarine representing calm and harmony.

I’d estimate the ring’s value at around £100,000 ($132,000).”

“Alongside Adam and Holly’s touching engagement announcement, a series of stunning photos showcase her exquisite ring – and we couldn’t resist taking a closer look.

Holly’s dazzling ring features a 2-carat oval-cut fancy light yellow diamond. While these diamonds are relatively more common among coloured stones, they remain rare compared to traditional colourless diamonds.

The oval-cut gem, known for its versatility, is set in a halo design, surrounded by smaller diamonds, and sits on a yellow gold band that beautifully compliments its radiant hue.

Though yellow diamonds are more affordable than other coloured varieties, Holly’s ring still carries an impressive value, which I estimate to be around $30,000 (£23,000).”

Known for its elegance and association with sophistication, the emerald cut is a favourite among celebrities. Icons like Beyoncé, Amal Clooney, and Anne Hathaway have all chosen this eye-catching shape for their own rings, adding to its allure.

The diamond’s rectangular shape is often seen as a symbol of stability and resilience, while the cut itself carries meanings of unwavering love, steadfast commitment, and deep compassion toward one’s partner.

Set on a delicate yellow gold band that enhances its size, the elongated diamond shines in a classic solitaire setting. Both iconic and timeless, solitaire settings allow any diamond shape to truly stand out as a stunning centerpiece.

The deep blue stone is set in a classic solitaire setting, which highlights its beauty and brilliance without any distractions. Solitaire settings are easy to clean and maintain, making them both practical and beautiful for daily wear. This simplicity and durability are especially important for someone like Carly, who spends a lot of time on tour, as the ring can withstand daily wear and still maintain its stunning appearance.

“Georgia’s eye-catching ring features a cluster of stones. Upon closer inspection, they appear to be a large marquise-cut diamond, flanked by two pear-cut diamonds. A vintage cut that symbolises tears of joy, pear cuts are always a favourable choice as they tend to appear larger than cuts of the same carat weight.

Three stone engagement rings have been part of the world’s greatest love stories for generations. The popular style holds three diamonds that are said to represent the past, present and future of your relationship.

Georgia joins a stylish circle of celebrities embracing the timeless three-stone ring, including Zoe Saldana. Zoe’s stunning $250,000 ring from Marco Perego features a striking 8 to 10-carat pear-shaped cabochon emerald, flanked by two .75-carat trapezoid diamonds on either side.

As the co-founder of Brewdog, it’s no surprise that James proposed with an impressive sparkler – and it’s doubtful that he spared any expense! I’d estimate it to be worth around $250,000.”
