Celebrities who Wear Gemstone Engagement Rings (and Not Diamonds!)
We love color and we love all things unique and we wanted to feature engagement rings of celebrities who chose to forgo the diamond center stone in favor of a gemstone.
PRINCESS DIANA’S famous oval cut 18 carat blue sapphire is surrounded by 16 small diamonds in a cluster setting. The ring is now worn by the beautiful Duchess Catherine, who is making the sapphire popular all over again.
When she was married to JFK, JACKIE KENNEDY wore this incredible diamond and emerald engagement ring from Van Cleef and Arpels – it was a very modern piece for her time and goes to show her flawless taste.
PENELOPE CRUZ wears a vintage 3 carat sapphire and diamond ring – a very elegant and romantic piece.
When she was engaged to DJ AM in 2005, NICOLE RICHIE wore this ultra unique inverted cushion cut pink sapphire engagement ring.
JESSICA SIMPSON received this gorgeous Neil Lane 5 carat ruby and diamond engagement ring from fiance Eric Johnson.
Sir Paul McCartney proposed to HEATHER MILLS with a very simple, but beautiful sapphire and diamond engagement ring.

Our Favorite Ruby Engagement Rings
We have always loved the idea of non-diamond engagement rings and think ruby engagement rings are stunning with their fiery red hue. They are unique, bold and symbolize passion which, we think is the perfect way to express the powerful bond between two people. From Jessica Simpson’s and Courtney Love’s gorgeous ruby rocks to Harry Winston & BlueNile, here are a few of our favorites.
1. Yael Designs, 2. Jessica Simpson’s Neil Lane engagement ring, 3. Blue Nile Ruby engagement ring, 4. House of Taylor Burmese Ruby Ring (given to Courtney Love by Kurt Cobain), 5. Oval Ruby Ring by Harry Winston
