Let's be honest – celebrities often have the most showstopping engagement rings. With large diamonds, multiple stones and unusual styles, it's hard not to love.
From Hollywood stars like Zendaya and Millie Bobby Brown to Kate Middleton's unforgettable royal sparkler, we take a look back at unforgettable celebrity engagement rings...
Millie Bobby Brown
Stranger Thing’s Millie Bobby Brown’s engagement ring from Jake Bongiovi (yes, the son of Jon Bon Jovi) is a showstopper.
The ring is a white cushion-cut diamond that’s nestled in a halo of smaller diamonds, all perfectly set on a white gold band.
Jake chose to pop the question during a scuba-diving trip… and the ring slipped off Millie’s finger, plummeting into the depths of the ocean. Thankfully, Jake was able to rescue it!
And to announce the news to fans on Instagram, the actress quoted Taylor Swift’s iconic song, Lover, in the caption.
It read: “I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want 'em all.”
