The ring in question is perhaps very symbolic of the unconventional pairing that is Diaz and Madden in the sense that it could not be further from the classic diamond solitaire engagement rings that many brides gravitate towards today. Set on a thick, dome-style band, Cameron’s gold engagement ring features a triangular-shaped cut-out that holds a centre diamond that has been cut into a very rare triangular cut known as a Trillion cut. This centre diamond is then accentuated by an array of tiny brilliant round-cut diamonds that are scattered throughout the ring’s setting. The star has incorporated her engagement ring in what can only be described as the most fashion-forward bridal stacks ever with a plain gold wedding ring featuring a lock design and an eternity ring boasting a chic yellow and rose gold twist design adorned with pave diamonds.

Kate Middleton

Arguably the most famous of all the unique engagement rings out there is the one worn by Kate Middleton. Kate was given her incredibly dazzling sapphire engagement ring when Prince William proposed to her at the tail end of 2010 after dating on and off for a good part of the decade. Royal fans were all too familiar with Kate’s unique engagement ring even before the public got the first glance at the engaged couple, as the ring once belonged to Prince William’s late mother and the former Princess of Wales, Lady Diana. Once the most photographed woman in the world, Diana’s sapphire ring was instantly recognisable and she fronted many news publications and tabloids with it on-even continuing to wear it after her divorce from King Charles III as a show of her independence. Following the humanitarian’s untimely death, the ring was given to her and Charles’ youngest son, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex. However, Harry gave it to the Prince of Wales, believing it would be better suited for a reigning monarch.

Boasting a 12-carat sapphire stone in a hue that could only be described as midnight blue, Kate’s sapphire engagement ring has an incredibly regal yet timeless charm about it. Sapphire stones are known for their connection to royalty, having been worn by royals and dignitaries since the days of ancient Rome and Greece so it's only fitting for a future Queen. Brought to life by a halo accent with 14 brilliant round cut diamonds that almost resemble a flower and its petals, the ring’s setting is naturally understated to not take away from the piece’s mesmerising sapphire or dazzling diamonds. Crafted in understated yet elegant white gold, the Princess of Wales’ unique engagement ring is set on a classic solitaire band, this allows her thin yellow gold wedding ring and white gold pave diamond eternity ring to fit seamlessly on either side of this magnificent piece.

Ariana Grande 

Known for her tremendous vocal range and her trademark slicked-back high ponytail, Ariana Grande surprised many pop culture enthusiasts when after a string of high-profile relationships she settled down with someone who wasn’t in the public eye. Ariana began dating Dalton Gomez, a real estate agent in early 2020, the couple managed to keep the relationship on the down low for most of that year due to the ongoing covid-only appearing on each other’s social media which essentially is the moniker for any serious relationship in our tech-heavy society. Proving just how serious things were, Ariana’s boyfriend got down on one knee and proposed to the multi-hyphenate artist just before Christmas that year. The diamond engagement ring that Ariana received was fitting for her bubbly yet glamorous sense of style and features a great deal of sentimental value. 

Designed by a New York City-based jeweller, Ariana’s engagement ring is truly one of a kind. Adorned with a 5-carat oval cut diamond that sits on an angle and a pearl, Ariana’s ring has a very contemporary look to it. And while the inclusion of the pearl and the off-centre diamond might come across as a little puzzling, it all makes sense when you learn about the origins of that pearl. Originally belonging to the singer’s late grandfather who wore a tie pin adorned with the pearl, Ariana’s grandmother had the pearl placed on a ring that she then gave to the star following her grandfather’s passing. According to the jeweller that produced the bespoke creation, it was very important for Dalton to have the pearl nestled in with the diamond as it is sentimentally special. Overall, Arina's diamond and pearl engagement ring is said to be worth a whopping $350,000 USD.

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. The A-lister best known for her role in Marvel’s The Avengers film series among many other blockbusters was previously one-half of a celebrity power couple with actor Ryan Reynolds whom she was married to between 2008 and 2011 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 had 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. And while Scarlett’s previous relationships have spawned some seriously stunning engagement rings that will forever have our hearts, the diamond she received from Colin is an enigma.

Not long after their engagement, the star was seen at Comic-Con when fans got a glimpse of the ginormous rock on her left-hand ring finger. Decked out with an EPIC 11-carat light brown to champagne-coloured diamond that has combined 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 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.

Lily Collins

The daughter of musician Phil Collins and the star of the Netflix hit series, Emily in Paris, Lily Collins is known for her ethereal fashion sense on and off the screen. So, when the actress became engaged to filmmaker Charlie McDowell following a whirlwind romance at the end of 2020 and then tied the knot shortly after in 2021, we were certain that Lily’s ring would embody her unique sense of style to a tee and we were right. Lily and Charlie began dating at the end of 2019 and by September 2020 the pair were announcing their engagement to the world via Instagram. In the post, there are a series of photos from when the special moment went down while the pair vacationed in the mountainous ranges of New Mexico. The last shot in the adorable Instagram slideshow gives us an up-close look at Lily’s unique engagement ring, which is unlike any other celebrity engagement ring we have seen.

The ring in question is an edgy albeit contemporary creation designed by American jeweller, Irene Neuwirth. Known to favourite rich and bright colours along with raw, uncut gemstones, Neuwirth’s designs have been spotted on the red carpet on many famous faces including Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts. Lily’s gold ring, which is said to be worth around $100,000 USD has a square bezel setting and an ultra-rare rose-cut diamond. Potentially, one of the most unusual of all diamond cuts, the rose cut is an older style gem cut originating from the 1500s. Lauded from their lustre rather than their sparkle as their brilliance is minimal, rose-cut diamonds have a flat black and domed top that is covered in triangular facets that are said to give off the appearance of a rose’s petals unfolding from a bud. Lily’s rose-cut diamond engagement ring is between 3 to 4 carats and there is no base on the bezel setting meaning it is completely see-through, giving the diamond a crystal or glass appearance.

Katy Perry

Since getting together in the mid-2010s, singer Katy Perry and British actor, Orlando Bloom have been Hollywood’s golden couple. Following the undoing of their high-profile marriages, Katy’s to British comedian Russell Brand and Orlando’s to the Australian model, Miranda Kerr, the two were first linked in 2016 after hitting the dancefloor together at the Golden Globe Awards afterparty. The pair then proceeded to have an on-and-off relationship for the next three years before announcing their engagement on social media. The couple, who now share a child together with the very fitting name, Daisy Dove Bloom became engaged on Valentine's Day of 2019. And while the pair are yet to say “I do”, we don’t mind because we still get to enjoy Katy’s radiant gemstone engagement ring which is positively blooming (pun intended).

 Known for her bubbly and playful style along with her penchant for cutesy things, Katy Perry’s unique engagement ring very much plays into the singer’s personal brand. The singer’s ring ring is a creative blend of vintage and contemporary with a design that embodies engagement ring trends from the Georgian era. Slightly comparative to Kate Middleton’s iconic engagement ring, Katy’s ring features a vibrant oval-shaped ruby that is surrounded by eight brilliant round cut diamonds. Complete with a timeless yellow gold finish, jewellery experts believe the ‘Teenage Dream’ crooner’s floral-inspired ruby engagement ring could be worth anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 USD. This is because the unconventional ring features a highly sought-after pigeon blood ruby that stands out for its bright pink almost purple hue.

Following the pair’s engagement announcement, Meghan and Prince Harry appeared in front of the world’s press at Kensington Palace, showcasing their pre-wedded bliss and Meghan’s stunning bridal set. The ring in question was littered with personal references to the couple’s story along with a sweet tribute to Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana. Personally designed by the Duke of Sussex, Meghan’s ring is a trilogy ring that boasts a 3-carat cushion cut diamond sourced from Botswana, a location that has special meaning for the couple. On either side of the ring’s centre stone is two brilliant-round cut diamonds that are between 0.5 and 0.75-carats that were from Lady Diana’s personal jewellery collection. Harry has said he chose to incorporate his mother’s diamonds into the bridal jewellery’s design as it was a way to include her in the couple’s story. Originally set in a plain 18-carat yellow gold band, the cushion engagement ring later went through a redesign to feature a thinner gold band adorned with pave diamonds, a move that was to accommodate Meghan’s fluctuating fingers during pregnancy.

Jennifer Lopez

Nostalgia fans really hit the jackpot when Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made their rekindled relationship public in early 2021. Initially linked back in 2002, it was difficult to walk past a newsstand without seeing Ben and Jennifer’s faces splashed on every glossy magazine during the peak of their relationship. So, when Bennifer,  as they were affectionately labelled by the press, announced that they had broken off their engagement days before their nuptials in 2004 public intrigue about these two went into overdrive. But when Bennifer 2.0 kicked off early last year following the eventual breakups of other relationships, the interest in these two megastars and their love story was at a fever pitch. Particularly, after Ben proposed to J.Lo a second time and she was spotted with a large green diamond sparkler that would make her previous 6.10-carat pink diamond ring from Ben look small by comparison.

Months after officially becoming a couple again, Ben got down on one knee and proposed to the multi-faceted artist with a breathtaking 10-carat engagement ring fit for a diva. Featuring a similar design to the Harry Winston ring that the Oscar winner chose for J.Lo over 20 years earlier, this 2022 upgrade is decked out with an enchanting natural green diamond weighing between 8 and 9 carats. Allegedly chosen because it is Jennifer’s favourite colour, green is one of the rarest diamond hues next to blue. This particular stone was sourced by one of Beverly Hills’ most premium jewellers, Ilan Portugali of Beverly Hills Diamond and is believed to be around $5 million USD on its own. The stone is cut into an elongated cushion shape and is completed by two tapered baguette diamonds on either side along with a white gold or platinum setting. While reports are mixed, some experts believe that Jennifer’s green engagement bling could be valued at more than $10 million USD, a far cry from the previous $1.2 million Ben is thought to have previously spent on the pink diamond engagement ring.
