Engagement rings are an investment that sets the tone for a relationship as it moves into its next phase of life—one of either sparkling success or deep, deep debt. The four “Cs” in analyzing diamond rings are: cut, clarity, color, and carat. But there's a fifth, extremely important "C": cost!
Travis Kelce has officially popped the question to Taylor Swift after two years of dating. The couple announced their engagement on August 26 with a joint Instagram post, sharing photos from Kelce’s romantic garden proposal and a first look at Swift’s stunning diamond ring.
The ring features an 8-carat Old Mine Brilliant Cut diamond set on a gold band, a historic cut that dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries. According to Page Six Style, the custom piece was designed by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. While the exact price hasn’t been confirmed, experts estimate Swift’s ring to be worth around US$550,000, according to Brides.
But that still doesn't top the most expensive celebrity engagement ring. Check out this gallery to see which celebrities were offered the most exorbitant sparklers in exchange for everlasting(ish) love.
