Get the scoop on some of the trendiest styles and the most expensive engagement rings which have donned the slender fingers of the beautiful ladies.

Putting a Ring on it with Style

Big rocks which surely turn heads and catch eyes are usually what celebrity engagement rings are made of. Made of precious stones like crystal clear diamonds, sapphires, yellow diamonds, or even rare Ashoka-cut diamonds like that of Reese Witherspoon’s are what adorn these beautiful engagement rings.

Usually, diamonds are chosen for their timeless beauty. However, there are exceptions. Prince William gave his Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, the beautiful 18-carat oval sapphire set on white gold. The royal blue stone is far from being a diamond but is as elegant and beautiful as well.

While most rings have thin and delicate metal bands made of gold, silver, titanium, or platinum, others go bold with their style. Josh Duhammel gave Fergie a wide gold band with a 4-carat diamond in the center.

Other stones used are emeralds like Halle Berry’s or Jessica Simpson’s 5-carat ruby from Eric Johnson. Cuts are usually oval, emerald, emerald, or simple circular cuts for elegance and sophistication. A more unique style is Rebecca Romijn dangling yellow diamond from her husband Jerry O'Connell. In Romijn’s own words "There's something sexy about a diamond dangling from your finger."
