Georgina Rodríguez now holds the title for the most expensive celebrity engagement ring. Her partner, football star Cristiano Ronaldo, presented her with a stunning 35-carat oval-cut diamond valued at approximately $5.5 million.
The couple announced their engagement this week after nine years together, sharing a photo that instantly captivated fans worldwide.
News of Ronaldo’s proposal triggered a significant surge in online searches for engagement rings. Interest nearly doubled globally, with Ireland, Australia, and the UK showing the highest spikes. A new study by bridal retailer JJ’s House analyzed famous proposals to rank the most costly celebrity engagement rings. It placed Rodríguez firmly at the top.
Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez share the runner-up position, each possessing rings worth $5 million. Jay-Z gave Beyoncé her 24-carat emerald-cut diamond back in 2007. Lopez received her unique green cushion-cut diamond from Alex Rodriguez during their 2019 engagement. Both accessories remain iconic symbols of celebrity luxury.
Kim Kardashian’s 15-carat cushion-cut white diamond, a gift from Kanye West in 2013, ranks fourth at $4 million. Vanessa Bryant holds fifth place with a similarly priced $4 million ring featuring an 8-carat purple diamond, given by Kobe Bryant in 2000. You might recall these proposals as major cultural moments in their own right.
Further down the list, Blake Lively’s light-pink 12-carat oval diamond from Ryan Reynolds is valued at $2.5 million, securing sixth place. Vick Hope’s classic 12-carat emerald-cut white diamond, received from Calvin Harris in 2022, also sits at $2.5 million in seventh. Ciara Wilson’s $2.25 million brilliant-cut 16-carat ring from Russell Wilson follows in eighth.
Paris Hilton’s ninth-place ring, a 20-carat pear-cut diamond from Carter Reum in 2021, is estimated at $2 million. Serena Williams closes the top ten with her $2 million 12-carat oval diamond, gifted by Alexis Ohanian in 2016. The couple married the following year.
A JJ’s House spokesperson highlighted the broader impact of these high-profile engagements. “These announcements are powerful cultural moments,” they noted. “They shape bridal jewelry trends worldwide, driving consumer aspirations and real purchasing decisions. Celebrity rings set design trends, influence diamond preferences, and spark global conversations about love and luxury far beyond mere entertainment.”
