With engagement rings, nothing says opulence and luxury quite like coloured diamond engagement rings. From radiant canary yellows to the uber-romantic pink diamond rings, there is an enigma surrounding these vibrantly-coloured stones. Nicknamed ‘fancy diamonds’, because, well, they are pretty fancy, coloured diamonds are not only the rarest types of rocks on the market but they are also one of the most expensive. So, it should come as no surprise that diamond engagement rings with an especially vibrant hue are a commodity among the world’s rich and famous.
While celebrities are known to rock bling in pretty much all shades of the rainbow, engagement rings adorned with yellow diamonds are differently a favourite. Whether it's subtle champagne tones or the more vivid canary hues, yellow diamonds make up around 60% of the world’s coloured diamond supply. However, it is not hard to see why stones in this hue are so highly sought after, especially among Hollywood’s elite. Not only do yellow diamonds pair tremendously well with yellow gold settings but they’re found all over the world in very unique coloured combinations.
To show you just how influential the yellow hue is in the diamond jewellery space, we’re unpacking all the celebrities with yellow diamond engagement rings.
Our Guide To Celebrities With Yellow Diamond Engagement Rings:
Victoria Beckham
We cannot talk about celebrity engagement rings without elaborating on Posh Spice a.k.a Victoria Beckham’s impressive collection. The former-Spice-Girl-turned-fashion designer has been married to David Beckham, the former football star for Manchester United and LA Galaxy since 1999. The pairing is considered a golden couple in Hollywood no thanks to their long-standing union and their iconic coordinating red carpet moments. The pairing is so in love that Becks has treated Victoria to a whopping 15 engagement rings over the years. Two of those rings were yellow diamond engagement rings.
The first yellow-hued creation that Victoria received from Becks was a large emerald-cut engagement ring which she was given back in 2006. The epic solitaire creation is on a rounded pave-style band that is set in yellow gold to complement the emerald-cut stone’s soft canary hue. Whenever the fashion designer was spotted wearing the ring, it was also flanked by two matching pave eternity rings. While an exact carat size or price tag cannot be pin-pointed, we can tell that the stone is well over 5 carats which wouldn’t come cheap. The second yellow diamond engagement ring that Posh was given was a yellow gold cushion-cut engagement ring that she received in 2018 just before their twentieth anniversary. Unlike the previous yellow diamond she received from Becks, Victoria’s cushion-cut ring was much more paired back in its design with its thin gold pave band and significantly smaller diamond. However, experts estimate the value of this ring to be somewhere in the north of £120,000 or just over $222,000 in Australian dollars.

Carrie Underwood
American country singer, Carrie Underwood is known for her stunning red-carpet looks as much as she is for her powerhouse vocals. In spite of all of her glamorous gowns and sophisticated jewels that she is often seen rocking at award shows, we never seem to be able to keep our eyes off her stunning canary yellow diamond engagement ring. The 2005 American Idol runner-up first started rocking the ring, which was given to her by her husband, hockey star Mike Fischer in 2009. The two had somewhat of a whirlwind romance with the two being first linked in 2008 after being set up on a blind date by mutual friends. The pair immediately hit it off and were together for just over a year before becoming engaged at Mike’s family home. The couple then exchanged wedding rings in mid-2010 at a law side ceremony at the front of the uber-luxe Ritz-Carlton resort in Georgia.
The pair are still seemingly going strong some thirteen years later and Underwood is frequently spotted rocking her engagement bling which has a design that is more than fitting for a country-pop queen. With approximately 12 carats of diamonds, Carrie’s canary yellow engagement ring is set with an ultra-regal halo setting that is adorned with an array of pave-style brilliant round cut diamonds that surround not only the ring’s centre stone but also the band. Creating a very glitzy effect. The centre stone of the halo engagement ring is a brilliant-round cut and a whooping 5 carats in size. The centre stone also has a rich yellow hue that borders on light orange. Set on a platinum band, experts estimate that Mike would’ve paid upwards of $150,000 for Carrie’s yellow halo ring.

Heidi Klum
From the catwalk to our TV screens, supermodel Heidi Klum is an indisputable fashion icon. When the former Victoria’s Secret Angel isn’t dazzling us with her daring fashion choices on the red carpet, she’s shilling one of her many lucrative brands or hosting the smash hit TV shows America’s Got Talent or Project Runaway. But aside from wearing multiple hats in both the fashion and entertainment industries, the German native is also known for her high-profile marriage with British singer, Seal. The two first became an item in 2003 after a chance meeting in a hotel lobby. They then went on to have a whirlwind romance before Seal proposed to the former model in a literal igloo the following year. Soon after that, the pair were married in a secret Mexico. They then proceeded to marry each other a further eight times as the couple made it a pact to renew their vows every year. Sadly, this dynamic union was not meant to be as after almost ten years together and four kids, this power couple called it quits.
However, as sad as the dissolution of this power couple’s marriage was, we still have Heidi Klum’s stunning yellow diamond engagement ring as a reminder of just how stunning these two were together. Estimated to be around 10 carats, Heidi’s radiant yellow diamond engagement ring features a single centre oval cut stone that is set onto a fine solitaire band and held together by four prongs. Designed by jeweller to the stars, Lorraine Schwartz, Heidi’s oval engagement ring also boasted a glittering pave setting that seamlessly paired with the ring’s yellow gold setting and centre stone thanks to its array of canary yellow brilliant cut stones. Following the pair’s nuptials, the model accessorised the oval ring with a matching yellow gold and pave eternity ring. While it is difficult to decipher an exact number, experts estimate that Heidi's custom ring would have cost Seal at least $150,000 back in 2004.
Kelly Clarkson
Famous for penning some of the biggest break-up songs of the 2000s including Since You’ve Been Gone and Never Again, it is safe to say that we’ve always been deeply invested in all aspects of Kelly Clarkson’s personal life. Rising to fame after winning the very first season of American Idol, Kelly was, fortunately, able to keep most of her relationships on the down low until meeting her former husband, Brandon Blackstock. The son of the powerhouse singer’s former manager, Narvel Blackstock and the former stepson of country icon, Reba McEntire, Brandon and Kelly first began making waves in the media after connecting in 2012. By the end of 2013, the two had tied the knot in an idyllic barnyard-themed wedding in Tennessee and then by 2016, the pair had welcomed their two children, a daughter, River Rose, and a son Remington ‘Remmy’ Alexander. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to as the couple separated in 2020 before officially divorcing in 2022.
It isn’t all bad news, though, as we still have numerous photos of Kelly’s radiant yellow diamond and halo engagement ring to gawk at. We first got a glimpse of Kelly’s ring in 2012 when the star tweeted a picture of the ring for her millions of followers to see upon announcing her engagement. Personally designed by Brandon with the help of jeweller, Jonathan, Johnathon Arndt, Kelly’s art deco-inspired engagement ring is adorned with an elegant white gold or platinum halo setting featuring an array of brilliant round cut diamonds. The ring's centre diamond is a whooping 5-carat radiant cut stone in a pale yellow hue. The radiant cut which is a more classic off-shoot of the slightly more popular emerald cut is a favourite among celebrities and gives Kelly’s halo ring a unique, almost hexagonal shape. Naturally, like all the other celebrities with yellow diamond engagement rings, Kelly’s ring did not come cheap and would’ve cost somewhere in the ballpark figure of $150,000.

Scarlett Johansson
When actress Scarlett Johansson married Saturday Night Live comedian and writer Colin Jost, it wasn’t the star’s previous trip down the aisle. However, as of now, it seems like the third time is definitely the charm. Best known for her role in Marvel’s The Avengers film series among many other blockbusters and highly-acclaimed films such as Lost in Translation and He’s Just Not That Into You. ScarJo has also had a series of high-profile romances during her illustrious career. In the late-2000s, Scarlett was one-half of a celebrity power coupling with actor Ryan Reynolds whom she was married to two years before he married actress Blake Lively, and then with Journalist Romain Dauriac who the actress was with between 2014 and 2017. Following her last breakup, ScarJo got together with Jost who she has known since way back. Not even two years into their whirlwind romance, Scarlett’s comedian boyfriend would get down on one knee and propose in early 2019.
While Scarlett’s previous relationships have spawned some seriously stunning engagement rings that will forever have our hearts, the yellow diamond ring she received from Colin is certainly a conversation piece. We first got our first glimpse at the star’s ginormous pear-shaped rock that Jost used to pop the question when the star appeared on stage at Comic-Con to promote the latest film in the Avengers franchise. Boasting an EPIC 11-carat champagne-coloured diamond that combines an oval and a pear-cut to create a unique egg-shaped stone, ScarJo’s ring is far from the typical bridal bling. Designed by James de Givenchy, the diamond hovers atop a curved black ceramic or enamel band that has been coated with a layer of gold on the inside to add strength to the piece. With its curved band and floating diamond appearance, the ring is an inventive take on the classic diamond solitaire ring and was inspired by art deco design. While experts dispute it, the Black Widow star’s champagne-tone pear-shaped engagement ring is believed to be somewhere in the north of $450,000 USD or just over $660,000 AUD.
