Celebrity Engagement Rings That Have A Hidden Meaning

It's the thought that counts - by Grace Back

Celebrity Engagement Rings That Have A Hidden Meaning

When it comes to picking out an engagement ring, many choose motifs that recall a special time in a couple's relationship - from a romantic trip to the sentiment behind the gems.

It's becoming more and more common for couples to choose rings that suit their own personalities and stories, and engagement rings are no longer fit in a single mould. From the shape of the stone to the placement, some engagement rings are truly unique in their stories.

Nobody knows this more than celebs, who have shared that their engagement rings hold much greater value than the triple zero price tag. We've curated some of the most sentimental celebrity engagement rings. 

Lara Worthington

The Australian model wed Avatar actor Sam Worthington in an intimate ceremony in December 2014, and the couple has previously admitted to "skipping" the engagement and going straight to a wedding, meaning Lara is one of the few celebs without an engagement ring. But, The Base founder has regularly spoken out about her favourite accessory - her Cartier wedding band worth an estimated $15,000. The sentimental factor? Sam picked it out himself!

Meghan Markle

The now Duchess of Sussex's engagement ring was designed by Prince Harry and features three diamonds on a simple gold band. The Duke of Sussex chose two small diamonds from his late mother Princess Diana's collection and the large stone in the centre is from Botswana, the place the couple enjoyed one of their first trips as a couple and a place Harry has called his "second home".

Blake Lively

The Gossip Girl alum revealed in an interview with British Vogue that her most treasured possession is her engagement ring from husband Ryan Reynolds. "My most treasured possession is my engagement ring made by my dear friend Lorraine Schwartz, because of the love and meaning it symbolises," she told the publication. "No, I didn't have any hand in its design, I married a gentleman."

Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie's engagement ring was modelled on that of her mother Sarah Ferguson's ring from Prince Andrew. Deputy Editor at Royal Central, Jamie Samhan, told Marie Claire US that Eugenie’s fiancé Jack Brooksbank had the ring designed to look like her mother’s - and they're near identical.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom got engaged in early 2019, and the diamond sparkler was definitely something different. Bloom proposed with a floral shaped ring, gifted to his future "Mrs Bloom".

Kate Middleton

As a sweetly romantic and commemorative gesture, Prince William presented Kate Middleton with his mother's Garrard Jewelers sapphire-and-diamond ring. He explained his decision, saying, "It's very special to me, Kate's very special to me as well, I thought it only right to put the two together." The 18-carat oval sapphire is surrounded by 14 diamonds and set in 18-karat white gold.

Ashlee Simpson

When it came time to choosing a ring for Ashlee Simpson, Evan Ross decided to keep it within the family, selecting jeweller-to-the-stars Neil Lane who also designed big sis Jessica Simpson's sparkler. The navette shape also hoped to the romance (of the) Edwardian Era."

Olivia Wilde

Jason Sudeikis proposed to Olivia Wilde with an emerald halo - to match her eyes.

Jessica Simpson

Eric Johnson gave Jessica Simpson a 5-carat ruby ring in honour of her July birthday. "The ruby design for Jessica was perfection," says Neil Lane, the celebrity jeweller behind Simpson's engagement ring. "It's a classic design with a twist because the side stones are pear-shaped."

Emily Ratajkowski

It took the model and her husband, Sebastian Bear-McClaird, who helped with the process, some trial and error and more than 50 sketches to come up with the unique engagement ring. “I love it,” Ratajkowski to Vogue US. “I can’t tell you how special it feels to me.”
