Most Expensive Rings
FashionBaby Mostly used as celebrity engagement rings, the most expensive rings in the world feature massive diamonds and retail for more than most of us will make in a lifetime. Forget the half-carat rings you spent three months salary on, these extravagant rings will set you back no less than $2 million.
The most expensive ring in the world includes a huge diamond, but like several others on this list, it's not white. The Chopard Blue Diamond Ring comes with white diamonds but the main attraction is a ginormous light blue oval diamond. Add in an 18-carat white gold band and this ring sells for just $16.26 million.
If that's just a bit out of your price range, or if blue is not your color, fortunately there are many other options. Take the Graff Diamonds pink diamond ring for example. Sold over the phone at a Hong Kong auction, this sparkler is much more affordable, only selling for $10.8 million.
As fancy and spectacular as these rings are, men, it's probably a good idea to keep your lady friends away from this list. That is of course unless you don't want that overwhelming look of disappointment when you pop the question with a much smaller rock later on. You've been warned.

Donald and Melania Trump's Engagement Ring
The most expensive engagement ring on the planet at the time, business mogul Donald Trump was not messing around when in 2004 he gave the then-Melania Knauss a huge 15-carat diamond ring.

Jackie Kennedy's Engagement Rings
Not only was Jackie Kennedy Onassis a former First Lady of the United States, but also the owner of two monster engagement rings. The first, given to her by the late John F. Kennedy, included a 2.88-carat diamond next to a 2.84-carat emerald, among other jewels. At the time, this was the most expensive engagement ring in the world, but soon was upstaged by another ring, along belonging to the former Jacqueline Bouvier. Following the assassination of President Kennedy, Jackie remarried, accepting a ring from shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis. Later sold for $2.59 million, this marquise-shaped rock come in at 40.42 carats. Jackie allegedly wore the ring just twice before placing it in a New York bank for safe keeping. - 9
Mariah Carey's Engagement Ring
Looking like a Ring Pop, which is what hubby Nick Cannon used to propose to the pop princess, Mariah Carey received an extravagant 17-carat engagement ring to celebrate the couple's second anniversary. The emerald cut from Jacob and Co. featured a giant rock surrounded by pink and white diamonds, which also wrapped around the band. If this is a second anniversary gift, who knows what the singer will receive if the marriage lasts a long time. - 10
