Mariah Carey
Only the brightest and best will do for pop diva Mariah Carey who received a 10 carat pink diamond ring from Nick Canon when he proposed to her.
2/10
Iggy Azalea
Iggy Azalea’s engagement ring from Nick Young last month certainly lives up to her Fancy standards. The 500, 000 USD sparkler features an 8.15 carat Fancy Intense yellow centre with 2.28 carats of white diamonds set onto 18-karat white gold.
3/10
Blake Lively
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds got hitched on the sly back in 2012 and it was only when Lively showed off her 12 carat oval diamond and matching rose gold wedding band that things were considered official.
4/10
Kim Kardashian
Kanye West knew he had to get his bling game on point when proposing to the twice-married reality star. The rapper did not disappoint with his choice of a dazzling 15-carat diamond ring that he co-designed with jeweller Lorraine Schwartz. The third engagement ring to grace Ms Kardashian’s finger is valued at a whopping 1.25million USD.
5/10
Beyonce
Yet another celeb who received a sparkler from Lorraine Schwartz was Beyonce, whose engagement ring from Jay Z was an impressive 20 carats worth an estimated 5 million USD.
6/10
Lady Gaga
Taylor Kinney proposed to the Bad Romance singer on Valentine’s Day this year with a heart-shaped sparkler from popular celebrity jeweller, Lorraine Schwartz.
7/10
Angelina Jolie
Jolie’s ring might be a modest 250 000 USD in comparison to the million dollar sparklers in Hollywood, but it’s extra-special because Brad Pitt co-designed the ring himself, using only diamonds of the highest gem quality.
8/10
Jennifer Aniston
America’s sweetheart has finally found Mr Right and her 8-carat radiant diamond cut from fiancé Justin Theroux is proof that the actress is willing to give love another chance with a second walk down the aisle.
9/10
Amal Clooney
Ever the humanitarian, George Clooney’s profession of his undying love to Amal Alammudin was an ethically-sourced 7-carat diamond ring.
10/10
Kate Middleton
Unlike most celebs who get million dollar sparklers, the Duchess of Cambridge one-ups everyone else and gets a priceless royal heirloom that once belonged to the late Princess Diana. The 18-carat blue sapphire ring set in white gold made the front pages of tabloids everywhere when the pair announced their engagement back in November 2010.

From Kim Kardashian to Kate Middleton, we take a look at the most dazzling sparklers to grace famous ring fingers.

Iggy Azalea and Nick Young. Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney. These are just a few of the famous duos who have decided to make it official recently by putting a ring on it. And we all know that celebrity engagements mean one thing and one thing only: HUGE engagement rings of the most dazzling kind.

When the rich and famous get engaged, it’s only the money shot of the bling that makes it official. From Blake Lively’s USD2 million 12-carat oval-cut bauble to Beyoncé’s 20-carat stunner that cost a cool USD5 million diamonds are definitely an engaged girl’s best friend (and accessory).

So who’s got the biggest rock in Hollywood? Find out as we roundup some of the biggest, brightest and priciest of engagement sparklers in our gallery.
