Here at Australian Diamond Brokers, we think it’s only fair that we share some pieces of work that we admire. This – ladies and gentlemen – is our take on the best celebrity diamond rings.
Beyonce Knowles
In a list of celebrity engagements, where could we start other than with Beyonce and Jay-Z? He liked it. He put a ring on it. And what a ring it is; a split-shank emerald cut, weighing in at a mighty 18-carats. With exceptional colour, the diamond is flawless.
A whopping 18-carats of diamond, and not a single impurity.

Kim Kardashian
One thing is for certain; you can’t avoid the Kardashians. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t keep Kim K’s stunning engagement ring from Kanye out of this list. Created by the same celebrity jeweller – Lorraine Schwartz – as Beyonce’s beauty, Kim K’s diamond ring is a real charmer. It is an elegant and feminine 15-carat cushion-cut. It is flawless and colour grade D.
It isn’t the heaviest engagement ring Kim K has worn, with brief hubby Kris Humphries 16-carat attempt claiming that honour. But remember; carat isn’t everything, and for clarity and colour, Kanye wins this battle.

Kate Middleton
The world’s favourite royal couple are up next, and the Duchess of Cambridge’s engagement ring is full of charm. Kate Middleton’s ring is much more than just a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. The 12-carat sapphire – with fourteen solitaire diamonds – is also a priceless royal heirloom.
Formerly the engagement ring of Diana, Princess of Wales, when Prince William proposed in 2010, he was passing on a little bit of history. Beautiful, valuable and sentimental, we couldn’t leave out the Duchess of Cambridge’s sapphire.
Scarlett Johansson
The Hollywood star’s engagement ring, from former husband Romain Dauriac, is the one of the less traditional on our list. The French journalist’s choice of ring is certainly a head-turner. Three diamonds in a rectangular setting sets up this vintage look.
With diamonds of high clarity and a good colour grade, what separates Johansson and others is a case of high carat vs. vintage style.
Lady Gaga
What would Lady Gaga be if not a little outrageous? Gaga’s massive, 6-carat diamond engagement ring from Taylor Kinney is no different. With a hidden, personal inscription of T hearts S – Taylor loves Stefani – and a heart-shaped stone, Gaga’s ring certainly goes against tradition.
We’d expect nothing less from the eccentric pop icon.

Angelina Jolie
When Brad Pitt approached his Beverly Hills jeweller in 2014, he already knew exactly what he wanted. He did not simply go shopping for a ring, he had it custom made with a precise idea in mind. The diamond quality, the cut, the band and the style; everything was pre-planned, and personalised for his wife-to-be.
It didn’t come cheap, either. Estimated value? A staggering two million Australian dollars.
Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring was sourced and shaped with her own hand in mind. For sheer romance, this engagement ring must come out on top. Great work, Brad!

Margot Robbie
In 2016, Margot Robbie arrived to the Los Angeles premiere of The Legend of Tarzan. The talking point of her red-carpet appearance wasn’t her stunning dress. The paparazzi gravitated towards the enormous pink diamond ring on her engagement finger. Circled by diamond solitaires, the breathtaking ring had fans talking.
Ariana Grande
Margot Robbie isn’t the only celebrity subject to fan speculation. In June 2017, Ariana Grande performed in Manchester for the One Love Charity Concert. To her fan’s surprise, a glistening diamond adorned her ring finger. Her performance alongside her long term beau Mac Miller only added to the speculation.
Are they? Aren’t they? The rumour mill is in overdrive, but we know one thing for certain; that’s a mighty fine diamond on Ariana’s finger!
Mariah Carey
This list, however, would not be complete without Mariah Carey receiving a special mention. In 2016, the nineties pop icon became engaged to Australian businessman James Packer. The ring was an astounding 35-carat ring of diamond and platinum.
Remember Kim Kardashian’s 15-carat beauty from Kanye? Mariah’s huge rock weighs more than double. It’s also colour graded D – which is as good as it gets. Whether or not it is completely flawless is up for debate; but based on colour and carat alone, the ring’s estimated worth is staggering. In Australian dollars, it falls somewhere between 7.5 million and 10 million.
