Celebrities and their Diamond Engagement Rings

Celebrity diamond engagement rings have been making the news since the word celebrity came into existence. Actually, well before that because Royalty and their diamond engagement rings were big news before we had celebrities.

There is something that just screams romance when it comes to diamond engagement rings and when money is not an issue, it is nice to see how far individuals will go to prove their love.

• Elizabeth Taylor who married Richard Burton not once but twice, was given a 69  carat pear shaped Harry Winston diamond.

•   Jackie O’s ring was small in comparison to other celebrity diamond engagement rings but still left the entire country in awe. Her ring was a mere 2 carat diamond and emerald engagement ring.

•   Grace Kelly soon to become Princess Grace was given a 12 carat emerald cut stunner.

•   Jlo - Jenifer Lopez was given a remarkable pink diamond engagement ring set in platinum by Ben Affleck.

The list goes on and on. The phenomenal effect that it has on the jewelry industry and fashion in general is amazing. Of course the average Joe can’t just run out and buy a 69 carat diamond engagement ring but he can afford something scaled down and cut to replicate it.
