Most Ridiculous Celebrity Engagement Rings

Published on January 30, 2018. Updated April 12, 2019

With millions of dollars at their disposal, it’s no surprise that celebrities are able to afford the best of the best when it comes to diamonds, but even more so with engagement rings! The first reaction to every celebrity engagement announcement is always, “but what does the ring look like?!” so follow along as we recall 12 of Hollywood’s most expensive, massive and sometimes downright ridiculous engagement rings:

9. Amal Clooney & George Clooney

George Clooney proposed to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin back in April 2014 with a huge sparkler that cost Clooney a rumored $750 000! Clooney’s choice was a seven-carat, emerald cut diamond that definitely sparkles from the across the room. The ring was so glamorous that Amal actually made the decision to downsize to a simple band for a more understated look for when she’s working on serious cases and to avoid unwanted attention on the massive rock on her hand.

8. Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux

Jennifer Aniston’s ring from husband Justin Theroux could be spotted from a mile away! Although she loves her husband’s choice of ring, she has previously admitted she would have chosen something more modest for herself. “It’s a rock, I know. He rocked it up. It took me a while to get used to it,” she confessed in an interview. “I’m not a diamond girl. I’m more Indian jewelry and stuff.” The “rock,” as she refers to it as, is actually rumored to be a staggering eight-carat emerald cut diamond with an estimated price tag of $1 million.

Manganiello popped the question in 2014 on a trip to Hawaii after a whirlwind 6-month relationship with Sofia and the two married in November 2015 at a lavish location in Palm Beach, Florida.
