[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s quite hard to say which rings are the most expensive ever, everyone who buys jewels is not celebrities, and many are discreet and do not like talking about prices. Here are some of the most expensive we have heard of.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An engagement ring is always present when one of the most romantic occasions in life happens. Obviously, you can get engaged with a silver ring, a diamond ring, any ring can be enough. But who wants the ring to be “just enough”? Not these celebrities anyway!<\/p>\n

Rings, rings, rings ……<\/h2>\n

The singer and the artist Mariah Carey got the most expensive engagement ring we have ever heard of, she received it from Australian billionaire James Packer. The ring, with a 35 carat diamond is said to be worth approx. 7 million Euros (10 million dollars). How to get used to wear such a big diamond on your finger is hard to say, but given Mariah’s eyelashes, she seams to be quite used to exaggerated things. In the end they never married, and Mariah sold the ring.<\/p>\n
