Megan Fox named celebrity with the most popular engagement ring, new study finds
Megan Fox’s engagement ring is the most searched for celebrity engagement ring, with an average of 31,200 monthly searches worldwide.
Jennifer Lopez’s engagement ring is second on the list, with an average of 20,350 monthly global searches.
Kourtney Kardashian, Meghan Markle and Hailey Bieber also own some of the most searched for engagement rings.
Celebrities can influence a wide range of trends, including styles of engagement rings. Whether it’s looking for inspiration or simply being curious about how much a celebrity’s ring costs, this can influence the overall popularity of a celebrity’s engagement ring online.
With this in mind, diamond engagement rings and fine jewelry brand Mark Broumand have revealed the most popular celebrity engagement rings by looking at which ones people are Googling the most.
1. Megan Fox
The most searched-for celebrity engagement ring belongs to Megan Fox, with 31,200 average monthly global searches. Fox got engaged to Machine Gun Kelly in January 2022 when he proposed to her with a ‘Toi et Moi’ (‘you and me’) ring, that consists of two separate interlocking bands held together by a magnet.
One band holds a pear-shaped diamond, the other a pear-shaped untreated Colombian emerald, with both gems sitting on 18 karats of white gold pavè set.
The ring sparked some controversy online when Kelly revealed in an interview with Vogue that the bands have tiny thorns on them, which makes the ring painful to take off. The ring is estimated to be worth a cool $300,000.
2. Jennifer Lopez
Second on the list is Jennifer Lopez’s engagement ring, with an average of 20,350 monthly global searches. J Lo got engaged to Ben Affleck for the second time in April 2022, 20 years after their first engagement, which was called off in 2003 and was followed by the couple’s split in 2004.
The second engagement ring is 8.5 carats, is worth between $3-10 million and features a cushion-cut green diamond. Green diamonds are incredibly rare, with green being the second rarest hue beside red. White baguette cut diamonds flank the green diamond, and these are sandwiched between two further trapezoid shaped diamonds.
- 3. Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian’s engagement ring is third on this list with an average of 12,300 monthly global searches. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker proposed to Kourtney in October 2021 on Rosewood Miramar beach in Montecito, California. Barker proposed with a 12-carat, oval- shaped solitaire, flawless diamond ring worth around $1 million. He worked closely with jeweler Lorraine Schwartz to design the ring.
- 4. Meghan Markle
Fourth on the list is Meghan Markle’s engagement ring with an average of 11,500 monthly searches worldwide. Meghan and Prince Harry announced their engagement in November 2017 at Kensington Palace, with Prince Harry popping the question earlier in the month while the pair prepared a romantic home cooked dinner.
Harry is said to have designed the ring which features three diamonds. The center diamond is a 3-carat cushion cut from Botswana surrounded by two diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection, said to be less than a carat each. The ring was later redesigned so that the simple gold band was replaced by a thin yellow gold band, set with micro-pavè diamonds.
- 5. Hailey Bieber
The next engagement ring to feature in this list belongs to Hailey Bieber, with an average of 9,600 monthly global searches. Justin proposed to Hailey in July 2018 in the Bahamas, with an 18-karat yellow gold solitaire band with an oval cut diamond, which is said to be around 6-10 carats and worth around $500,000.
- 6. Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande’s engagement ring features in sixth place, with an average of 8,600 global monthly searches. The ring was designed by her then-husband Dalton Gomez. The ‘Toi et Moi’ ring features a tilted oval diamond, estimated to be 5 or 6 carats, and a white pearl sat on a yellow gold band. The ring is estimated to be worth between $350,000 – $800,000.
- 7. Kim Kardashian
The seventh most popular celebrity engagement ring belongs to Kim Kardashian, with an average of 4,500 monthly global searches. Former husband Kanye West proposed to Kim in October 2013 with a whopping 15-carat D-stone cushion cut diamond – the clearest, highest quality diamond. It was set on a platinum band surrounded by micro pavè diamonds and is estimated to have cost around $8 million.
West upgraded Kim’s ring in 2016 to a 20-carat diamond ring, which was stolen in a robbery in Paris later that year.
- 8. Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton’s engagement ring is the eighth most popular, with an average of 4,200 monthly global searches. Prince William proposed to Kate in November 2010 with a ring that once belonged to his mother, Princess Diana. The ring consists of a 12-carat oval sapphire surrounded by 14 solitaire diamonds.
When purchased in the early 1980s, it would have been worth around $35,000, however today it is worth an estimated $146,000. The history and fame that the ring represents have increased its worth to around $600,000.
- 9. Blake Lively
The ninth most popular celebrity engagement ring belongs to Blake Lively, with an average of 4,060 monthly global searches. The ring was designed by Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds and jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. It features a 12-carat solitaire set oval light pink diamond that sits on a 14k rose gold band covered in tiny diamonds. The ring is reportedly worth an incredible $2 million due to how scarce and valuable pink diamonds are.
- 10. Beyoncé
Beyoncé’s engagement ring is tenth on the list, with an average of 3,400 global monthly searches. Jay-Z proposed to Beyoncé in 2008 with a 24- carat, emerald cut, platinum diamond ring, also designed by Lorraine Schwartz. The diamond is one of the rarest forms due to its flawless clarity and is rumored to have cost a staggering $5 million.

A spokesperson for Mark Broumand commented on the findings, saying:
“Celebrities often have the privilege of working with world-class jewelers and designers to craft rings that most people can only dream of, which partly explains why they garner so much attention online.
“It will be interesting to see how these search figures change over the next few years, as new celebrity couples try to outdo one another with even more grandiose gems and unique designs.”
