We have seen so many pear-shaped diamond rings on Pinterest but when Sonam flaunted her large rock post-wedding, we had our jaws dropped! A little birdie told us that it was for ₹90 lakh approx., and boy, we think it's a great deal for a ring as stunning as this one.

WMG tip: engagement ring design >>>> price tag . ALWAYS!

90s OG, Paris Hilton recently got hitched, and we couldn't take our eyes off that Jean Dousset's emerald-cut ring! Worth $2 million. *our weak hearts*

Understated? That’s so not Bebo. The ritzy diva’s 5-carat platinum band diamond ring shows off her personality like none other. Kareena is a self-confessed diamond lover, and the blinding bling on her finger displays just that.

WMG tip: Sparkle we shall, without going overboard! Simplicity is a rare commodity when looking for a ring.

If you’re a fan of the evergreen, Lara’s engagement ring is just the style for you. Don a diamond rock as huge and striking as hers, and you wouldn’t need another accessory to complete your look.

WMG tip: Nothing matches the richness of the evergreen solitaire, as long as it sparkles!

Angelina Jolie

It took Brad Pitt a year to design this unconventional rock for her lady love. Jolie is synonymous with eccentricity and panache, and her huge $250,000 engagement ring with a ribbed band is something you don’t come across that often. Dare to wear something as peculiar as this one?

WMG tip: Choose a ring that’s not just beautiful; it must speak volumes about your personality. 

Blake Lively

Love oval-cut diamonds? Blake’s show-stopping ring is more than just a single, larger-than-life bauble! The 12-carat ring features a gorgeous spiral design with tiny diamonds surrounding the pink oval-cut solitaire, making the conventional design a “cut above the rest”.

WMG tip: Adding a twist to the predictable is how you make the conventional your oyster! Oval-cut rings with a band of tiny diamonds are so not the rule but an exception so go unique! 

Shilpa Shetty

And that is how you do big! This 20-carat dazzling piece of jewellery set her husband Raj Kundra back by INR 3 crore and is touted as the most expensive rock in Bollywood. BRB, recuperating from the shine of the solitaire.

WMG tip: Go all out; it’s your wedding, after all! Bigger might be better, but bolder is best!

20-carat too much for you to take? Try 53-carat! The most beautiful woman in the world dons a 53 lac glittering diamond ring, apparently chosen by friend Tina Ambani. Well, you know, what they say, if you got the moolah, make it large!

WMG tip: Avoid too many hand accessories when wearing something as shiny as this!

Jennifer Aniston

Darn! Jen’s rock makes us feel so…. small! This $500,000 engagement jewel ensures you’re the talk of the town without even trying. If you’re fond of the classics, Jen’s simplistic yet impactful design is yours to make.

Would you like a splash of colour on the most important ring of your life? Kate Middleton’s sapphire stunner is simplistic yet staggering. 14 gorgeous diamonds surround a 12-carat oval sapphire set in 18-carat gold, making the ring one-of-its-kind. For a classy yet offbeat affair, colour is the way to go!

WMG tip: Make sure you pick a neutral colour that makes teaming up the ring an easy-peasy affair!

Beyonce

$5 million – that’s the price of Beyonce’s 18-carat bling rock! To think that Beyonce would do with any less is just… absurd, don’t you think? The emerald-cut design of Queen Bey’s engagement sparkler can put all other rings to shame with its contemporary, intimidating design.

WMG tip: This monstrosity ain’t everybody’s cup of tea! If you have the personality to carry it, go ahead!
