Sophia Vergara

In 2014, actor Joe Manganiello presented Sofia Vergara with an engagement ring featuring a very large cushion-cut diamond, possibly five to seven carats with F color, adorned with a sparkling halo setting. The thin, delicate band also has very small diamonds to complement the large center stone and halo.

Blake Lively

When actor Ryan Reynolds proposed to actress Blake Lively in 2012, he took an unconventional route. Her engagement ring was a two-million dollar pink diamond. Set in rose gold, the gorgeous oval-cut stone also has small pavé diamonds around the band. Jeweler Lorraine Schwartz custom designed the pink diamond ring to have an Art Deco look.

Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton's blue sapphire engagement ring is likely the most famous engagement ring of all time. The Duchess of Cambridge wears the ring that once decorated the finger of Princess Diana. The famous royal ring contains an 18-carat diamond and sapphire stone that was purchased in 1981 by Prince Charles. The ring has increased in value over the years and is now worth half a million dollars. However, no monetary amount can compete with the sentimental value of the beautiful ring and the sweet gesture made by Prince William when he proposed with his mother's ring.

Johnson went to jeweler Neil Lane, who helped him choose a romantic five-carat ring featuring an oversized ruby in the center, embellished by two diamonds. The ruby is Jessica's birthstone and symbolizes love. The custom ring includes smaller diamonds that encircle the band.
