Most Famous Engagement Rings In History

Check out these five celebrity stunners.
The Knot // The Knot

Katie Holmes: Rose Gold Ring

Tacori Rose Gold Ring Next Slide

Tom Cruise’s romantic, fairy-tale proposal to Katie on top of the Eiffel Tower was classic, but the real trend that he started was the rose gold engagement ring setting. Rose gold adds a vintage look that has since inspired countless engagement ring designs.

Well, I like them all. Lovely lovely lovely. I've been married twice & neither time did the man in question present me with an engagement ring. To me, giving a woman an engagement ring is a sign he really loves you. Unfortunately, the men I have known, except for possibly 2, have thought spending any money on a woman let alone their wife, was a horror. Yet it was ok for me to either support them entirely (my 1st husband) or pay 50% of the bills all the time & when he got into debt he demanded I get a second job to get him out of debt. Go figure.

Now, I'm in my 60's & evidently, it no longer matters even more to men. Maybe next life I'll get lucky.
