A Ring Fit for a Princess
Prince William expressed his fealty and desire for marriage to socialite Kate Middleton with a lovely and high-class 18-carat oval sapphire ring – the same ring his father gave to his late mother, Princess Diana, for their own engagement. And truly, what else were you going to give to the classy Catherine Middleton? It’s a piece of jewelry with a history, though hopefully a happier one for William and Kate.
The two married in 2011, after William proposed in Kenya. And twelve years later, this royal couple looks as happy and glamorous as ever. Now with three beautiful children, the Prince and Princess of Wales have a wonderful family.
A Classy Item for a Classy Dame
She's an Oscar-winning actress that has been gracing our screens for two decades, and we just can't get enough of her talent and contagious smile. But during the winter of 2010, boyfriend Jim Toth, also an actor and producer, proposed with a 4-carat, $450,000 Ashoka diamond ring. The lucky gal was none other than Reese Witherspoon, who got married to Toth – a Hollywood agent – in 2011.
Witherspoon has plenty to smile about – her gorgeous kids, her amazing film career, her adoring fans, and the fact that she’s successfully produced many of her films and TV shows. This powerhouse of a woman has also produced several other famous TV shows, including “Daisy Jones & the Six” and “The Last Thing He Told Me”, starring Jennifer Gardner.
He Loves Her Like He Means It
Which country music star is sporting this sparkler? It's Kelsea Ballerini, the Tennessee native, who got married to Australian singer-songwriter Morgan Evans in 2017. He proposed on Christmas of 2016, and the two celebs had a destination wedding in Mexico. They looked overjoyed in every single wedding photo and had five blissful years of marriage.
Unfortunately, they decided to part ways in 2022, reportedly because Morgan wanted to be a father and Kelsea wasn’t quite ready yet. But regardless of how things ended up, we are sure this country music belle won’t forget that stunning engagement ring anytime soon. Would you?
And One for the Sister, as Well
Kate's sister Pippa now has her own ring, thanks to hedge fund manager James Matthews. The two announced their engagement in 2016, got married in 2017, and became parents to little Arthur Michael William Matthews in 2018. They went on to have two more children, which are just the cutest kids ever.
The ring is thought to be an Asscher cut diamond, which are built to highlight and enhance a gem's natural details with the help of a high crown and a deep pavilion. We go on to assume these are good things, especially by the look of that stunning ring.
The Biggest Ring for the Biggest Star
She's one of the names that we aren't allowed to forget, and in 2013, Kim Kardashian West got a promise from a similarly big name. Kanye proposed, and Kim said yes, making it her third marriage. The ring is a huge and clear Lorraine Schwartz design, and the diamond alone is reported to have cost between $2 million and $4 million.
Sadly, this, or even having four children together wasn’t enough to keep Kim and Ye together. The ultimate celebrity couple shared what seemed to be eight good years together, but finally filed for divorce in 2022. While they’ve both gone on to date an interesting list of people, neither has remarried.
