This yellow diamond is anything but mellow. Baseball star Johnny Damon and actors Charlie Sheen and Eddie Murphy have all paired their marriage proposals with yellow diamond rings. This De Beers 5.11-carat radiant cut ring, set in platinum, costs $400,000. (De Beers) |

For the thrifty millionaire looking for yellow-diamond chic, this 6.10-carat fancy yellow diamond ring from Ross-Simons may do the trick.

Soccer star David Beckham kicked a goal into the heart of wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham with an appropriately posh pink diamond ring. Are you thinking pink, too? Check out this Secret Kiss of the Rose Ring from De Beers. The piece features 4.15-carat rose-cut white diamonds and a 0.8-carat pink diamond, set in platinum.

Whether you prefer round extravagance or a more angular glamour, Tiffany has you covered. On the left is the famed jeweler’s oval diamond micromelee split shank ring. The 14.79-carat creation retails at $1.465 million. On the right, you’ll find Tiffany’s 12.03-carat cushion diamond ring, which sells for $800,000. Both rings are set in platinum. (Carlton Davis) |

The original Asscher Cut diamond was first developed in 1902, but the design hasn’t languished in the annals of history. Famous Asscher fans include Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon, who reportedly wore a 4-carat Asscher Cut stone on her ring finger while married to actor Ryan Phillipe. But why settle for 4 carats? This 10.19-carat Asscher engagement ring from De Beers is set in platinum and sells for $520,000. (De Beers) |

The rock atop this De Beers platinum ring gets a D — as in D-color, the most desirable grade on the diamond color scale. With its round and flawless stone, this De Beers piece weighs just a little more than 9 carats, but if you buy it your wallet might weigh considerably less. The ring’s price is set at $1.83 million.

Diamonds may be the conventional choice for most engagement ring buyers, but since when do millionaires heed convention? Grunge rocker Kurt Cobain gave fellow rocker Courtney Love a 5-carat diamond-and-ruby engagement ring. Unfortunately for Love, the ring was stolen on Valentine’s Day in 1995. Hopefully, prospective buyers of this three-stone oval ruby-and-diamond ring from House of Taylor will have better luck — and some insurance. The piece, which features 12.48-carat Burmese rubies, sells for $63,600. (House of Taylor Jewelry) |

Blue bloods prefer blue sapphire — or at least Prince Charles did when he proposed to Lady Diana Spencer with an 18-carat oval sapphire ring. The blue bauble didn’t mean lasting love for those royals, but don’t count blue sapphire out just yet. Check out this three-stone sapphire-and-diamond ring from House of Taylor. The piece features 8.28 carats of Ceylon sapphires and more than 2 carats of diamonds for a price of $49,500. (House of Taylor Jewelry) |

If this ring doesn’t make you green with envy I’m not sure what will. This House of Taylor three-stone emerald-and-diamond ring features 6.84 carats of Columbian emeralds and more than 2 carats of diamonds, all set in 18-carat white gold. It sells for $93,600. (House of Taylor Jewelry) |

And now for a bit of a breather — pricewise, anyway. This platinum ring from Ross-Simons features a cushion-cut center diamond surrounded by a 0.96-carat framework of diamonds, all for a price of just $27,995. Ross-Simons markets the ring as a piece that “drips with decadence and delight.” We’ll let you decide. (Ross-Simons) |

Famed jeweler Cartier is eager to spread the word about its new New York City bridal salon, but the company is more discreet when it comes to its sparkling wares. When the jeweler was asked about its most expensive engagement ring, it sent pictures of this pear-cut diamond ring set in platinum. But Cartier clammed up when asked about the price. The ring is available in carat weights ranging from 1 to more than 63 and its price, a spokeswoman for the jeweler said, is divulged only to customers making serious inquiries. (Cartier) |

I bought Leia a ring on Endor for 250,000,000 space dollars
Most of these people are lieing. They probabley couldnt affored this. I know i wouldnt spend more on a ring than my own house!!
omg i cant wait to get married i just got engaged like a week ago
i just bought my wife a 1.6 trillion dollar ring on ebay for .15 euros and paind 6 yen and got back five stone!! hope that helped good luck
you are so dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!! get a life and step into reality and realize whatever ring a guy gives you is good.
Most of these people are lying because they know they don’t have that kind of money and just want to act like a rich person so a girl would want to meet them. Liers ain’t good people to get engaged too. DUHHH!
It’s funny to see how mad some people get haha. Aly is just freakin out
I just bought my gurlfriend a 6.7878787 million penny ring and now were homeless.
OMG are you serious!!! They are not lying, they are joking around!! Lighten up, it’s all in good fun. Geez!!
Ummm….I could be wrong, but I think she is being sarcastic. why are some of the people on here getting so worked up over the comments??
lol, my wedding ring cost my husband 23.95 at wal-mart so i divorced him.
It made me shock cause the price is so high. Engagement ring symbolize promise and dedication for the future.Love to have this one but its just a dream for me cause I cant afford this. Thanks for this information.
i really think that they should up the size of the diamonds…i also would like to see them with a diamond band. im really sick of seeing these tiny town rings..come up with some new designs
its aren’t..use proper grammar if you are to insult
ok so you would accept a tin ring
look honestley speaking, every girl wants to be wanted and a ring given with love is a excepted. i think i would feel horriable having a ring that can feed hundreds of empty stomachs…….
LOVE YELLOW DIAMOND RING
ANGEL BLESS

They are allll U.G.L.Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, it is are not, not aren’t. If you want to thrw stones, make sure your glass house is fortified…. with diamonds!!
And yes, these comments are funny! I especially loved the ebay one and the space dollars
I like rings as much as the next person, but this is just vulgar especially when people are starving and have no food or water
Pity Princess P did not spend as much on her education. Her use of the english language is awful.
Well, it really does matter because I don’t think you would enjoy a $10 ring from k-mart.
uumm yea shes right if you love them its not the ring its the love duh
Ya I think that EngageGirl needs the education more than any of the other commenters.
yall are all high as a kite. Buy the bitch a ring from the quarter machine.
The top ring on James Allen at the moment will set you back a cool three quarters of a million dollars US…that’ll get you a small mansion in a lot of places in the world.
I think it’s lame how everyone wants a diamond… They’re not that great… If u get engaged with a $.10 ring, no one will ever steal it!… It’s like the best of both worlds… I don’t even care if i get a ring as long as the guy loves me… He could even propose with a piece of trash for all I care… So stop expecting so much from men… If they buy you an expensive ring is doesn’t mean they love and care for you, only that they’re trying to buy your heart… And women wonder why they’re so looked down on by men…
