Meghan Markle, Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Melania Trump – whose engagement ring is the most famous?
For Meghan, Prince Harry chose a stone in Botswana to have set with two diamonds from his late mother Princess Diana’s collection, Beyoncé’s Jay-Z picked the largest stone and Kanye West’s ring choice was stolen from Kardashian’s hotel room in Paris
Bigger isn’t always better, but when it comes to engagement rings, we beg to differ. And the rich and famous seem to agree. Here’s a look at over-the-top diamonds famous women said “I do” to.
Kim Kardashian
When Kanye West proposed, he presented Kim Kardashian with a 15-carat ring reported to be worth US$4 million. Unfortunately, the ring was among the jewellery stolen from Kardashian’s hotel room in Paris in 2016.
Melania Trump
US first lady and former model Melania Trump’s engagement ring is a sparkler from renowned London jeweller Graff. Trump claimed he bought the ring at a 50 per cent discount from the jeweller. However, Laurence Graff, owner of the house, later refuted the claims and maintained no favours were given to Trump in 2004 when the ring was bought. If Trump is to be believed, he paid about US$1.5 million for an Asscher cut diamond that is worth well over US$3 million.
