The engagement ring is a symbol of love, commitment, and eternal love. It is the most precious gift that a man gives to his woman. The engagement ring is not just about the size and the design, it also has a lot to do with the type of metal used.
Some people prefer gold because it is considered to be more valuable, and more durable. But others prefer platinum because it is less expensive and less likely to tarnish or become scratched over time.
As you know, many styles have risen in popularity over the years. It is due to several factors, including celebrity engagement trends such as the Bennifer (Ben and Jennifer) wedding or simply thanks to a surge of individual style influencers. Although celebrity engagements might not be forever, it is still nice to be able to look towards them for inspiration. Celebrity engagement rings are a great way to show people what you find aesthetically pleasing. Even before social media, celebs were always admired for their style and trends.
Getting engaged can be a time of excitement and also butterflies. While it’s always fun to pick out rings, finding the perfect one can be intimidating, to say the least. Here are some uniquely gorgeous and our favorite celebrities’ engagement rings to inspire you.

How Much Do Celebrities Spend On Their Engagement Rings?
The average person spends about $5,000 on their engagement ring. However, when it comes to celebrities, the price can go up as high as $250,000. Some of the most expensive engagement rings belong to celebrities like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who spent $10 million on their rings.
The engagement rings that celebrities wear are often worth more than what the average person can afford, but the most expensive one is not always the most popular. For example, Beyoncé’s $5 million ring was beaten by Tom Cruise’s $10 million ring.
The world’s most expensive engagement ring belongs to a billionaire diamond merchant Laurence Graff and his wife Anne-Charlotte. The ring cost $48 million, but they have only worn it once because it was too uncomfortable to wear daily.
Lesson – Don’t go by the price, but pick what you love!

Final Thoughts
The idea of getting an engagement ring led by your favorite celeb can be tempting, but if you’re not 100% set on the type of ring or have no clue what type to get, it might be best to avoid making a purchase yet.
Wedding rings are not cheap, and while you would need a lot of money for the same engagement ring as a celeb, you can always go for look-alikes that fit your budget. Remember, an engagement ring is only the beginning of the many expenses to follow.
