Most-Expensive

 These famous engagement rings prove that a diamond, even if not married, lasts for ever. The engagement ring has not always been about the diamond. Roman brides received a gold ring to wear for public occasions as well as an iron one for the home. Simple rings with a poesy design were popular in Europe in the early 1700s. In New England, Puritan men were not interested in frivolous rings and would give thimbles instead to their wives. Women would often take the tops of these rings and put them on rings. In 1947, De Beers came out with its famous slogan "A diamond is forever." The rest is history. We now have everything including Elizabeth Taylor's 33 carat diamond from Richard Burton to Meghan Markle’s rings made of stones from Princess Diana's private collection to Hailey Bieber's stunning oval diamond from Justin. Below are some dazzling gems worn by celebrities, royalty, and socialites to inspire ring designs.
