Fascination with celebrity lifestyles will always capture the publics attention. Not only do they have the money to buy the best, but often feature a lifestyle that can most could only dream about. So what does the most money in the world buy when it comes to engagement rings? Flawless gigantic diamonds. You guessed it right! Big is not always the best when it comes to engagement rings. Rings become unmanageable to wear on a daily basis, and they become a magnet of attention which will make most women uncomfortable. Though we hardly feel sorry for them when they can afford thousands to spend on their wedding rings. One continuing trend is that most celebrities choose antique styles because they often feature delicate designs which make them more glamorous and exquisite to give as a proposal ring. When it comes to choosing antique you are also choosing a one-of-a-kind ring that nobody else has.

What makes their engagement ring different is the marquise setting, which is positioned on its side than length wise. I am sure Catherines engagement ring is not easy to wear, because of the size of the diamond, but Michael sure hit a home run with this glamorous setting! With a smaller size diamond, it would be one of the uniquest settings for a engagement ring. The couple's fairy-tale wedding was held in November of the year 2000 which hosted over 350 guests and cost more than $1.5 million. The famous jewellery designer Fred Leighton, lent to her a Edwardian tiara which also featured delicate marquise-cut diamonds in a curved design.
