In the glitzy world of Hollywood, 2024 has already proven to be a year of romance and excitement as several high-profile celebrity engagements have captivated fans worldwide.
Last year, some huge stars – including Vanessa Hudgens, Rebel Wilson and Zoë Kravitz – received huge sparklers from their partners, but who will be joining them?
Steven Stone’s diamond experts will be keeping track of all the celebrities who get engaged this year, along with the juicy details of their engagement rings.
January
Ruby Bhogal and James Stewart
Value of ring: $12,000 (£9,500)
‘The Great British Bake Off’ star Ruby Bhogal announced on 21st January that she was engaged to BBC presenter James Stewart, who popped the question in New York.
Ruby debuted her unique engagement ring in an Instagram post, where she also revealed the details behind the proposal – which didn’t exactly go as planned due to a case of food poisoning.
“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 Westwick & Amy Jackson
Value of ring: $300,000 (£240,000)
In late January, Ed Westwick announced that he was engaged to girlfriend Amy Jackson after nearly two years of dating.
The couple shared a joint post on Instagram, featuring multiple photos from the special moment that the actor popped the question in Gstaad, Switzerland.
Amy finally gave us a good look at her beautiful ring in March, when she shared a series photos to Instagram that were from a recent shoot that she’d done with Ed.
The couple had teamed up with Tissot and could be seen showcasing their new watches that the company had presumably gifted them, which were engraved with their special date; 27th January 2024. Though as much as we loved the watches, it was the rock on Amy’s finger that we couldn’t take our eyes off.
“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).”

March
Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin
Value of ring: $500,000 (£400,000)
In early March, the Daily Mirror reported that Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin had gotten engaged.
However, rumours have been swirling for years that the actress and Coldplay frontman were planning to walk down the aisle and we’d previously clocked her HUGE emerald engagement ring on several occasions – including at an annual event in New York last November, benefitting the charity Hope for Depression Research Foundation, which was honoring the actress for her depression advocacy.
“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).”

April
Lucy Spraggan & Emilia Smith
Value of ring: $12,000 (£9,500)
A huge congratulations are in order for Lucy Spraggan, who has announced that she’s engaged.
The former ‘X Factor’ star – who has released six studio albums since the show – will marry her girlfriend Emilia Smith in June.
In an interview with Fabulous Magazine, the artist revealed that she’s asked Simon Cowell to give her away. The pair have recently grown close since Lucy got in touch with the record executive and television personality ahead of the release of her memoir, ‘Process: Finding My Way Through’.
“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.
An engagement ring like Emilia’s could be worth up to around $12,000 (£9,500).”

Brad Riches & Scott Johnston
Value of ring: $5,000 (£4,000)
It looks like a huge congratulations are in order for Brad Riches and Scott Johnston!
The ‘Heartstopper’ and ‘Big Brother’ star has taken to Instagram to share the news that he’ll be tying the knot with the theatre director, who proposed to him earlier this week while the pair were on holiday in Sorrento, Italy.
With 31k people searching for ‘mens engagement rings’ online globally each month, they’re certainly becoming more popular and Brad joins a wealth of male celebrities who wear one – including Ed Sheeran, Brooklyn Beckham and Nick Grimshaw.
“Men’s engagement rings are increasingly becoming a celebrated symbol of commitment and love in modern relationships, reflecting a shifting cultural landscape towards equality and inclusivity. In fact, 31k people searching for ‘mens engagement rings’ online globally each month.
Scott proposed to Brad with what appears to be a 5mm offset round brilliant wedding band. I’d estimate it to be worth $5,000 (£4,000). Brad joins a wealth of celebrity males who sport engagement rings, including Brooklyn Beckham and Ed Sheeran.”

Sanam Harrinan & Kai Fagan
Value of ring: $6,300 (£5,000)
A huge congratulations are in order for Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, who have announced their engagement.
The happy couple met in Casa Amor last year, when they were both contestants on the 2023 series of ‘Love Island’, which they went on to win.
Sanam took to TikTok to share a video that she took before – and during – their romantic date, which featured a surprise proposal from Kai. During the video, she proudly flashes her double halo engagement ring at the camera
“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).”

May
Phoebe Dynevor & Cameron Fuller
Value of ring: $125,000 (£100,000)
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.
After weeks of speculation, the ‘Bridgerton’ star officially confirmed her engagement to Cameron Fuller with the debut of her huge diamond sparkler.
“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).”

Huma Abedin & Alex Soros
Value of ring: $300,000 (£231,000)
Though she got engaged in late May, Huma Abedin didn’t give us a look at her stunning diamond ring from billionaire Alex Soros until July, when she was seen flashing it while out in New York City.
The political insider was spotted heading into an Upper West Side restaurant wearing an orange midi dress, but it was the rock on her finger that stole the show!
“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.”

June
Matt Healy & Gabbriette Bechtel
Value of ring: $15,000 (£11,700)
The 1975 frontman Matt Healy has popped the question to his girlfriend, Gabbriette Bechtel.
Gabbriette took to Instagram to share the news, uploading a photo that flaunted a huge diamond ring on THAT finger. In another image, the model flashed her ring finger in a mirror selfie after watching Charli XCX’s Brat tour in New York City, alongside the caption; “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT”.
“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).”

July
Marisa Abela & Jamie Bogyo
Value of ring: $150,000 (£117,000)
Best known for her portrayal of Amy Winehouse in the recently released biopic, ‘Back to Black’, the actress got engaged on Primrose Hill in London – a spot that was loved by the late singer.
Jamie shared photos of the happy moment on Instagram, which showed the couple smiling – as well as Maria showcasing her huge engagement ring.
“Maria’s engagement ring is truly stunning. It showcases a sizeable round-cut diamond in an elegant four-claw setting. Set in platinum, the centre diamond is beautifully complimented by two side stones.
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.”

Shona McGarty & David Bracken
Value of ring: $25,000 (£19,300)
‘Eastenders’ actress Shona McGarty has shared the exciting news that she’s engaged to her boyfriend, David Bracken.
The Irish musician got down on one knee during a romantic picnic in London’s Holland Park.
“Shona’s engagement ring showcases a stunning pear-cut emerald in a halo setting. The deep green gemstone is elegantly perched on a pavé band, enhancing its brilliance and size.
Emerald stones are believed to bring luck, love, peace, and hope, making them the perfect choice for an engagement ring.
I’d estimate the unique sparkler to be worth $25,000, which converts to approximately £19,300.”

Emma Robets & Cody John
Value of ring: $140,000 (£108,000)
A huge congratulations are in order for Emma Roberts and Cody John, who have announced their engagement!
The actress revealed the good news on Instagram, sharing a photo of herself and Cody, alongside the caption “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone”.
The couple confirmed their relationship in August 2022, when Cody shared a photo of them kissing on a boat. Prior to that, Emma was engaged to her ‘American Horror Story’ co-star, Evan Peters.
“A mere glance at Emma’s engagement ring reveals a strikingly large diamond.
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.
I’d estimate Emma’s ring to be worth $140,000.”

“Dani Dyer has proudly showcased her engagement ring on Instagram, and it’s easy to see why she’s so delighted with it. The stunning ring features a 2 carat oval-cut diamond, elegantly set in yellow gold
The exquisite stone is set in a solitaire setting, resting on a pavé band. Solitaire settings carry profound significance for couples, symbolising love, commitment, and fidelity.

34% of celebrities chose oval cut engagement rings in 2023 and it’s remained a popular choice this year, so Ellie is certainly in good company. Most recently, Dani Dyer received a 2ct oval cut diamond engagement ring from his beau, Jarrod Bowen.
I’d estimate Ellie’s sparkler to be worth approximately $75,000.”
