10 Memorable Celebrity Engagement Rings   by Kualani Kapuna

For centuries, a beautiful and expensive engagement ring has symbolized the pledge of eternal love between a groom and his bride-to-be. In times gone by, the most exquisite and remarkable rings were reserved for royalty. But today, it is celebrities who have taken the lead and started the trends for outrageous engagement rings.

Since the celebrities set the trends for hairstyles, clothes, and cars, it makes sense that they set the trends for engagement rings too. Regular working folks like you and me could never afford rings like these. We can work and collect our salaries for an entire lifetime and still not come close. But that doesn't stop us from wishing and dreaming, and often imitating, these spectacular betrothal rings.
