It’s no surprise that celebrities and royalty enjoy displaying their wealth in precious stones, and this definitely rings true when it comes to love. From gigantic gems to royal rubies, if there’s a price, it’s never too high, and if it’s priceless, then it’s perfect. In the name of love, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most interesting stories behind famous engagement rings and wedding accessories.

1. The World’s Most Expensive Engagement Ring

When Richard Burton wished to marry Elizabeth Taylor, a diamond no less than 33.19 carats would do. The massive Asscher-cut diamond is certified exceptional — and possibly flawless — and tops the list of the world’s largest diamond rings. The Harry Winston ring sold for $8.8 million at auction and was bought by a collector.

2. The Oldest of the Queen’s Jewels Are Still Worn

The pearls that adorned the Queen’s neck on her wedding day are thought to be the oldest British royal jewelry that’s still worn today. The pearls are actually two separate necklaces that are always worn together, and together they have an estimated value of $6 million. One strand is said to have been worn by Queen Anne who reigned in the early 1700s.

3. Ivanka Trump designed all of her own jewelry for her wedding.

Ivanka was completely covered in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry from her own fine jewelry collection. Her ensemble featured a platinum and diamond headpiece, platinum and diamond cluster earrings and a diamond and platinum Art Deco bracelet.

4. Grace Kelly’s first engagement ring was Ruby

Prince Rainier III of Monaco originally gifted Grace Kelly a Cartier diamond and ruby eternity band. However, when the prince saw the massive diamonds adorning the hands of other Hollywood actresses, he quickly purchased his bride-to-be an enormous 10.5 carat emerald cut diamond ring.

5. The Duchess of Cambridge’s Tiara Had 888 Diamonds

Kate Middleton wore a Cartier halo tiara, made in 1936, which was originally owned by King George VI when he was Duke of York. He bought the tiara for his wife, the Queen Mother, who later gifted it to then Princess Elizabeth at the age of 18. Queen Elizabeth II lent the tiara, which features 739 brilliant-cut diamonds and 149 baguette-cut diamonds, to Kate upon the announcement of her marriage with the Queen’s grandson, Prince William. Kate’s engagement ring, a 12-carat sapphire surrounded by 14 diamonds, belonged to the Prince’s mother, Princess Diana.
