After a string of high-profile celebrity weddings, including the now-iconic Kimye nuptials and Poppy Delevingne‘s gorgeous boho affair, we’re hooked on talk of weddings. Gowns and décor provide hours of drool-worthy Instagram stalking, but let’s not overlook where each bride’s wedding style begins – the engagement ring.
Kim Kardashian’s $3 million custom Lorraine Schwartz ring from Kanye West is epic (to say the least), while royal trend-setters Kate Middleton and Letizia Ortiz wear rings that are surprisingly non-traditional. Equally as surprising is the fact that Keira Knightley‘s rocker beau may be a traditionalist at heart, because his choice for Knightley is not what most would expect for a Hollywood starlet. And, when diamonds aren’t enough, some celebs make it official with ink. Some of our favourite celeb couples rock ring finger tats so that even when they aren’t wearing their wedding rings, they still kind of are – which must be a relief ’cause those things look heavy.
In honour of wedding season, we take a look at our favourite engagement rings.

Ciara and Future: In 2013 after getting ring finger tats Future upped the ante with a 15-carat ring made by celebrity jewellers Avianne & co. The colossal rock worn by Ciara sits atop an inked N for Future’s legal name Nayvadius, while the rapper has the corresponding C.
