Bling It On: The Most Buzzed-About Celebrity Engagement Rings of 2024 (So Far!)
Love is in the air, and 2024 has been a banner year for celebrity engagements! From classic elegance to trendsetting designs, these dazzling rings have captured the public's imagination. Let's take a look at the sparklers that have everyone talking:
1. Millie Bobby Brown's Rainbow Halo
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown actually isn't confirmed to be engaged as of today, June 7, 2024. However, there were rumours about a potential engagement ring in April 2023.
Here's what we know about that ring:
Experts speculated it was a classic and timeless design with a large centre stone. Descriptions suggest it could be either a round cut or a cushion cut diamond. Estimates place it around 3 to 3.5 carats, making for a very impressive and sparkly centre piece. The band itself was described as delicate and possibly featuring pavé diamonds, where tiny diamonds are set close together for a continuous sparkle and set in platinum.
Millie Bobby Brown actually has two rings! The first ring is the one her fiance Jake Bongiovi originally proposed with underwater. This ring belonged to Millie's mother and is not the one she wears regularly. The engagement ring she typically wears is a dazzling cushion-cut diamond set in a cushion-shaped halo on a pavé band. Experts estimate the centre stone to be somewhere between 2 and 4 carats. While the exact designer is unknown, the style is similar to rings created by designers like Tiffany & Co. and Neil Lane.

5. Megan Fox's Return of the Vintage
Megan Fox's engagement ring is a conversation starter, for sure! It's a Toi et Moi design, meaning "You and Me" in French. This romantic style features two gemstones representing the couple.
The ring boasts two pear-shaped gems - a dazzling colourless diamond (Machine Gun Kelly's birthstone) and a vibrant green emerald (Megan Fox's birthstone). Estimates suggest each stone is a luxurious 3 carats.
This dazzling stone is likely colourless, also known as a D-colour diamond, which is the highest grade for colour. The pear cut is known for its elongated teardrop shape, which combines the brilliance of a round cut with a pointed elegance.
The stones are nestled in sleek 18-karat white gold. The band likely features pavé diamonds along the shoulders for extra sparkle, and possibly a hidden halo around the centre stones to further amplify their brilliance.
The most intriguing detail is the band itself. It's actually two separate bands held together by magnets! This allows the stones to visually create a heart shape when the bands come together. Some reports even claim the ring is designed to cause slight discomfort if removed, reflecting the couple's intense connection. Overall, it's a highly personal and symbolic piece that reflects Megan Fox's style and her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly.
