How 10 Celebrities Customized Their Engagement Rings
Clearly, no ordinary sparkler will do.
On the runways, designers are customizing jackets, bags, and—well—just about everything with cheery patches. But customization is big in the world of celebrity romance, too—just ask stars like Blake Lively, Olivia Wilde, and Eva Longoria. If you're looking for inspiration for your own sparkler (or are just a hopeless romantic) take a gander at these totally unique celebrity engagement rings.
If anything distracted from Kate Upton's glittering Topshop gown at the Met Gala, it was her enormous new accessory. The model proudly flashed the ring that fiancée Justin Verlander designed just for her. Working with jeweler Anita Ko, Justin had the solitaire diamond surrounded with swags of pavé diamonds, and set the stones in a band dotted with more—you guessed it—diamonds.
When he proposed to Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds presented the gorgeous star with a ring he designed with jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. The 12-carat, oval diamond (that's it above, on the far right) is actually light pink; it's set in rose gold with pavé diamonds.
For his green-eyed bride Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis selected an antique, round-cut diamond that's surrounded in emeralds.
Natalie Portman's engagement ring—also round—was custom designed by husband Benjamin Millepied and jeweler Jamie Wolf. The antique diamond is reportedly conflict-free.
Carrie Underwood wears a round diamond as well. Her engagement ring, which is reportedly 12 carats, features yellow and white diamonds; her husband Mike Fisher created it with designer Johnathon Arndt.
Businessman Thomas D'Agostino Jr. proposed to Luann de Lesseps with a canary-yellow diamond ring.
When Eva Longoria got engaged to now-hubby José Bastón, her unique sparkler drew tons of buzz. Who can resist a ruby surrounded with diamonds?
Lady Gaga has a famously huge heart, so it's no surprise that fiancée Taylor Kinney designed a ring to match her personality. Jeweler Lorraine Schwartz also took the reigns on this one, engraving "TS" into the band to reflect the couple's initials.
Reese Witherspoon's Ashoka-diamond engagement ring was reportedly custom designed by the William Goldberg Diamond Corporation. The ring is set in a diamond-and-platinum band.
Evan Ross worked with Neil Lane to design a ring as unique as his bride, Ashlee Simpson. The marquise-cut diamond ring is accented with rubies.
