Celebrity Engagement Rings

There seems to have been a lot of celebrity engagements and weddings this year, so we thought it would be fun to have a look at some of the sexiest and blatantly bling-tastic engagement rings to have graced the fingers of some of our favourite stars and celebs.

I think we have to start the list with the ring that rates highest on the bling-ometer, and there can be no doubt that Mariah Carey wins this accolade hands down. Her whopping 15 carat emerald cut pink diamond ring is certainly an eyecatcher, if not a finger breaker! It's rumoured to be worth a cool $2.5 million.

Desperate Housewife, Nicolette Sheridan, was presented with a beautifully elegant 5 carat diamond engagement ring by singer Michael Bolton.

One of my personal favourites is the antique style diamond engagement ring worn by Katherine Heigl. It is a lovely pear shaped diamond with pave diamond platinum band. Aparently half the platinum band was made using platinum from her mother's engagement ring.

Spicy Salma Hayek has a ring that reflects her strong personality. Weighing approximately 5 carats, it is a LARGE classic oval cut diamond set in platinum - quite a rock!

Another one of my favourites has to be the understated but elegant diamond engagement ring worn by Scarlett Johansson. This is a round solitaire diamond on a diamond pave band.

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has an engagement ring which seems to match her sweet and feminine personality. It is a vintage diamond floral design, and is a family heirloom given to her by Scottish actor Ross McCall.

Carmen Electra made a less traditional choice with her black diamond solitaire ring, but it looks stunning, and suits her style perfectly.
