Designed by Robert Procop with help from Brad, Angie’s ring is a sparkling stunner featuring conflict-free emerald cut diamonds.

The best surprise ever? While on vacation, Hilary Duff was shocked by boyfriend Mark Comrie’s offering of a platinum 14-carat radiant-cut ring.

Perhaps when Beyonce advised single ladies everywhere about the benefits of putting a ring on it, she was inspired by the flawless 18-carat diamond that Jay-Z presented to her. Designed by Lorraine Schwartz, it’s reportedly worth a cool $5 million.

J-Lo may not want us to be fooled by all the rocks that she’s got, but when she accepted an 8.5-carat diamond from ex-husband Marc Anthony in 2004, it cued a collective eye roll.

Kate Middleton had princess-wannabes everywhere turning green with envy when Prince William proposed with the 18-carat sapphire ring worn by his mother, Lady Di.

Goop may be her thing, but surely Gwyneth Paltrow took off her stunning Asscher-cut diamond before making one of  her signature dishes… Right?

It’s one thing to wish for a huge engagement ring, but the practicality of such a thing has always thrown us for a loop. Think of all the sweaters it would snag!  Or worse, imagine what happens when you run your hand through your hair. Ouch! Even more nerve racking, what happens if you lose it? So many questions.

Do you think gigantic rings are impractical, or will you accept nothing less? Tell us who’s ring you covet the most and share your opinion in the comments below!

Colored denim has been making a splash stateside for some time now, but leave it to the Middleton sisters to take it to a whole new level of cool! Pippa stepped out in London wearing a bold pink jean and absolutely rocked it. She paired her Technicolor denim with a casual plaid top, but kept it sharp with a structured suit jacket and ankle boots.

While visiting Olympic Park, everybody’s favorite Duchess stayed true to her classic style sense, even when sporting tangerine-dream jeans. With a fitted double-breasted blazer, demure heels and perfectly tied scarf, Kate was impeccable as a mash-up of modern prep meets sporty-chic.
