Drool Worthy Celebrity Wedding Rings

Celebrity wedding rings are all about the bling! Although some celebs do opt for classic pieces that will withstand the test of time, most stars these days feel the need to go all out when it comes to bridal jewelry.

They've got the money, so why not? Most of us don't have an extra umpteen thousands of dollars to put towards our wedding rings so we live vicariously through our favorite celebrities and the engagement and wedding rings they proudly wear and show off for the cameras.

We look at all that bling and can't help but fantasize about owning something similar one day. The chances are pretty slim that we'll ever own a 10+ carat canary yellow fancy diamond but it doesn't cost anything to drool!

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
This 5 carat sophisticated oval shaped diamond in a pave setting sure puts other rings to shame. It's really quite simple and elegant even for its size.

 

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz
Ashlee Simpson's engagement ring from Pete Wentz is approximately 4 carats in size featuring a square cushion cut diamond set in pave diamonds. The estimated value is around a hundred thousand dollars. Nicely done Pete!

 

Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman
This is a round center diamond set in a cathedral semi-mount and flanked with 4 channel set diamonds on each side. Like many celebrity wedding rings, it has hand scrolled lattice work on the undercarriage, which gives the diamond more oomph. Estimated value $78,500.

 

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds
One of our favorite Canucks opted to get his classic beauty a classic diamond ring - a simple round brilliant solitaire. A 3 carat diamond set in a yellow gold band. Estimated cost is about $30K.

 

Heidi Klum and Seal
This ring DOES measure up! The Project Runway host wears approximately 10 carats on her slender finger. It's a fancy yellow diamond, cushion/oval shape in a prong setting with a yellow canary pave set. Estimated cost around $150K.

 

Jamie Lynn Spears and Casey Aldridge
Between 1.5 and 2 carats, 'lil Spears sports a marquise shape diamond set in white gold with baguettes. Aldridge spent between $10-15K...not bad for his age!

 

Marcia Cross and Tom Mahoney
This Desperate Housewives star kept it nice and simple. A one carat diamond solitaire in a classic prong setting from Tiffany's. You can't get any more classic!

 

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
The Ultimate Diva's over the top 17 carat diamond ring is estimated to cost $2.5 million dollars. That got her an emerald shape fancy light pink diamond surrounded by 58 darker pink diamonds and flanked by two half moon shaped diamonds. Rumor has it that Mr. Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, used the same ring to propose to Selita Ebanks, a Victoria Secret model. Doesn't he know that doesn't fly with a diva! 17 carats or not! Well maybe....

So, have you picked out your favorite celebrity wedding ring yet? The one you're going to tell your better half all about?
