MIRANDA KERR

Being queen of all things sparkly, we weren't exactly surprised to find out that Mariah Carey is the proud owner of the most expensive engagement ring. James Packer popped the question in 2016 with a 35-carat diamond and platinum ring crafted by jewellery designer Wilfredo Rosado. The grand total? A whopping $10 million (£7.7 million). Unfortunately, the couple never made it down the aisle—but it's rumoured that Carey held on to the ring.
