20 Beyoncé And Mariah Rock The Huge Emerald Cut
Both Beyoncé and Mariah Carey are considered to be some of the biggest divas of the music industry. Beyoncé is like music royalty and Mariah has even declared herself to be one of the biggest celebrities to hit the scene. Naturally, this means that the two needed legendary rings. According to Brides, both Beyoncé and Mariah Carey were proposed to with emerald-cut rings.
The only difference was the number of carats in the ring.
Queen Bey has an eighteen-carat ring, whereas Ms. Carey was proposed to with a thirty-five-carat ring. Both of these rings are almost larger than their fingers.
19 Jessica Alba And Gwyneth Paltrow Bring Out The Natural Beauty Of Their Rings
Jessica Alba (above) and Gwyneth Paltrow (below) are known for more than just their acting abilities. They are often associated with their natural lifestyles and brands that help others lead a more natural life. These two are often fresh-faced on the red carpet. Their rings really get the chance to shine. According to Brides, both Jessica and Gwyneth had Asscher-cut rings from their sweethearts. Both of these rings were a bit rectangular with rounded edges and were featured on a single, simple band. These rings look stunning on these do-gooders in Hollywood. While Paltrow may be uncoupled, the ring was still fabulous.
18 Kate Bosworth And Snooki Are Prestigious In Their Own Way
Kate Bosworth and Snooki are not often mentioned in the same sentence. Bosworth is a well-known actress in Hollywood. Snooki-on the other hand-is known for being a “meatball” on the television show Jersey Shore. Both have reached a level of fame and fortune that they likely never expected when they were younger. They likely also did not expect to have similar engagement rings. According to Brides, both Bosworth and Snooki have princess cut diamonds as a part of their engagement rings.
Snooki's band is a little more elaborate than Bosworth's, boasting additional stones throughout it.
Bosworth has more of a solid band with her ring.
17 Unique: Bridget Marquardt's Ring Crept Up On Her
Bridget Marquardt was proposed to by Nick Carpenter-a notable horror director-as per People. Naturally, Carpenter wanted to capture a bit of their relationship and personalities within Bridget's engagement ring. The two decided to pick the ring together, according to People. This led them to create an engagement ring resembling a spider. This ring is a custom design and features diamonds throughout the entirety of the ring, as the couple told People. While some people may find this creepy, it is unique to the couple-making it beautiful. Putting so much thought into the ring to make sure it captured the essence of the couple is truly special.
16 Idol Alums Kelly Clarkson And Carrie Underwood Are Feeling Yellow
Idol has brought music some great singers over the past decade or so. The first Idol Kelly Clarkson (above) is still making hit songs. A few years later, Carrie Underwood (below) won the show and then took the country scene by storm.
These two would not have had much in common without the show.
What they certainly did not expect is to have similar engagement rings. According to People, Clarkson's ring from Brandon Blackstock featured a yellow canary diamond with other diamonds around it. The Knot describes Underwood's ring as canary colored as well. The only difference between the two is that Clarkson's is more of a cushion cut, whereas Underwood's is round.
15 Perhaps Jennifer Aniston And Amal Clooney Don't Love Their Emerald Rocks
We can't help but wonder if Jennifer (above) is missing this gorgeous rock on her left hand these days. The eight-carat emerald cut ring stunned us all with a price tag hanging around $500, 000. Many of her most loyal fans wondered what would become of the symbolic piece of jewelry when Jennifer and Justin Theroux called it quits earlier this year. As it turns out, the Daily Mail reports the law was on Jennifer's side with this one and she got to keep it. No word on whether she actually did-or wanted to. We're hopeful that Amal Clooney's (below) emerald cut piece lends her better luck in the marriage department, but StyleCaster did recently report she's looking to replace it with a simple platinum band.
14 No Tears Left To Cry For Ariana Grande And Cardi B
Life has been exciting for both Ariana Grande and Cardi B lately. Ariana Grande only recently started dating Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live, according to People.

As for Cardi B, she recently announced her pregnancy on a late-night television show appearance. Cardi B was proposed to by fiancé Offset with her own teardrop shaped ring.
Both rings are completely blinged out and take up no less than up to the first knuckle on their fingers.
These hit-makers deserve love, happiness, and bling.
13 Unique: Nicki Minaj Has A Big Heart
Nicki Minaj is not known for doing anything in moderation. Her songs, music videos, and wardrobe are usually done to the extreme. Daily Mail reports that Minaj has started rumors within her social media accounts due to the number of images of massive rings that she shares. However, one ring was much different than the others. Minaj shared a ring-given to her by boyfriend Meek Mill-to her social media accounts. This ring was a fifteen-carat yellow diamond ring in the shape of a heart. Daily Mail reports that this was an engagement ring, as did some of their sources.
12 Lady Gaga And Rochelle Wiseman Wore Their Hearts On Their Hands
Lady Gaga (above) and Rochelle Wiseman (below) may or may not have crossed paths while working in the music industry today. Lady Gaga primarily resides in the United States, whereas Wiseman is a resident of Britain. When it comes to engagement rings, it was hard to tell the difference between the two. According to Ritani, both Lady Gaga and Rochelle Wiseman received heart shaped engagement rings when they said yes.
While the back of Gaga's former ring had the initials “T and S,” that was the only notable difference between the ring.
They were both similar in size, color and bling factor.
11 Sophie Turner And Katherine Heigl Are Quite A Pear
Sophie Turner (above) and Katherine Heigl have not seemed to have crossed paths during their acting careers. Sophie Turner is known for her intense role in Game Of Thrones. When Joe Jonas proposed to her, he did so with a pear-shaped, simple banded ring, according to Page Six. This ring looked remarkably like Katherine Heigl's ring from eleven years before, according to Brides. This ring came from her husband Josh Kelly. This ring and Turner's ring had the same carat weight of three carats, as per both sources. Heigl's band featured diamonds but otherwise looked identical to Turner's newer ring.
10 Jennifer Hudson And Amy Adams Are Well Rounded
Jennifer Hudson and Amy Adams are two powerhouses in different fields.

According to Brides, Hudson was proposed to with a five-carat round ring. This ring has a halo of stones around the main stone. As for Adams' ring, it looks almost identical, as per Jean Dousset.
The only way to see the difference between the rings is to take the ring off.
Adams' ring has a unique stone under the main stone on the band, representing her husband.
9 Unique: Fergie's Band Was Glamorous
While we now know that Fergie's marriage to Josh Duhamel did not last, her engagement ring from him had been incredibly unique and magnificent. According to In Style, Fergie's ring was a wide-banded, golden ring with diamonds throughout it. There was one stone in the center of the large band, but there were smaller stones scattered throughout the ring. It was a bit like stars in the sky around the moon. This ring was bold, much like Fergie and her singing voice. Unfortunately, this is a case of bigger not being better. Whether Fergie kept this ring after her split from Duhamel is unclear.
8 Christina Milian And Victoria Beckham Originally Both Had Marquise Rings
Christina Milian (above) and Victoria Beckham (below) have both experienced success in the music industry, topping the charts with a variety of hit singles. Their similarities do not end there.
Both Milian and Beckham have both sported Marquise style rings after their engagements.
Milian was proposed to in 2013 and received a marquise ring on a diamond encrusted band to symbolize it, according to Ritani. Victoria Beckham sported a similar ring when she first got engaged to David Beckham, according to Ritani. Her band was not as elaborate as Milian's upon close inspection, but it was very similar in size and style.
7 Jessica Biel and Ashley Tisdale Have Some Extra Cushion
Both Jessica Biel (above) and Ashley Tisdale (below) can relate to one another, as they started off as teenage stars in family-friendly programming. Now-years after the two starred in their original shows-they have both gotten married. Biel is married to Justin Timberlake. She received a six-carat cushion cut square engagement ring from Timberlake five years into their relationship. According to Daily Mail, Christopher French proposed to Tisdale with a similar ring. It is also square and cushion cut. It appears to be about the same size as Biel's ring and is on a similar band. Both were able to marry their musical Prince Charmings, too.
6 Solange Knowles And Olivia Hamilton Have Open Minds And Rings
Solange Knowles (above) and Olivia Hamilton (below) could not be more different in terms of how they have found success and in personality. The two likely have never crossed paths through their careers, especially with Solange staying so close to sister Beyoncé. Their engagement rings-however-are incredibly unique, yet very similar to one another. According to People, both Solange and Olivia were proposed to with wraparound rings.
These rings feature two stones on each end, with a space in between the center of the ring.
This unique opening creates a different illusion than the standard engagement ring. According to People, both of these rings feature different sized stones as well.
5 Unique: Scarlett Johansson's Art Deco Ring Was A Stunner
Scarlett Johansson has always seemed to capture old Hollywood glamor in her red carpet looks. From gowns to hair styles, Johansson tends to channel fashion icons from decades ago in order to successfully complete her looks. It only makes sense that her fiancé Romain Dauriac channeled this in order to get her the perfect ring, as reported to US Weekly. This ring was a vintage, art deco inspired ring. According to US Weekly, this ring boasted one large rectangular diamond with three smaller, circular diamonds placed within this larger diamond. This ring fits Scarlett's style and personality based on what the red carpet has shown.
4 Eva Longoria And Maggie Grace Both Opted For Similar Styles
Eva Longoria (above) and Maggie Grace (below) both tend to go to the beat of their own drum. Longoria got engaged in 2015, whereas Grace got engaged more recently.
Both of these celebrities must have a similar style, as they both received vintage-inspired rings from their fiancés.
According to First, Longoria's ring was a ruby center stone surrounded by a diamond halo. In a similar fashion, People reports that Grace's ring-an antique from 1810-was set with a yellow center stone and surrounded by a halo of diamonds. These rings may not be the best of luck, as Longoria no longer wears her ring and Grace is no longer engaged.
3 Perrie Edwards And Christina Ricci's Rings Represent A Journey
Christina Ricci and Perrie Edwards were thrown into the media spotlight at a young age. Christina was a young actress and Edwards was-and still is-in an all female singing group. The two became engaged around the same time period and both received similar engagement rings. According to Hollywood Life, Perrie Edwards received a three-stoned ring from ex-fiancé Zayn when they got engaged. The three stones usually represent a couple's past, present, and future. Christina Ricci also received a three stone ring, according to In Style. Both rings boasted relatively large stones and simple bands for a multi-stoned ring.
2 Hilary Swank And Halle Berry's Friends Were Green With Envy
Hilary Swank and Halle Berry are both classic actresses with successful careers behind them. The two have each starred in major films already in their careers. They both also share similar engagement rings. Hilary Swank's engagement ring boasts a beautiful emerald colored stone in a square shape, according to People.
This ring has a few smaller stones placed around it.
Similar to Swank, Halle Berry also has a Colombian emerald in her engagement ring, according to Brides. Her stone is also in a square shape. Her ring boasts a few less extra stones bordering the emerald but looks extremely close to Swank's.
1 Unique: Rebecca Romijn Is Hanging Out With Her Ring
Rebecca Romijn has experienced a lot of love and loss through her life. She has learned that life is too short to keep anything boring. Initially, when Jerry O'Connell proposed to Romijn, the ring was a standard yellow diamond round stone, according to In Style. Rebecca reported to In Style that she wanted to wear her ring while she was pregnant, so she got it resized. Resizing it also allowed her to further customize it, with her deciding the stone would dangle off of the band, much like an earring. This golden ring is incredibly unique and yet still very beautiful.
