Admit it: You want to be a member of the Bling Ring Club. Many Hollywood starlets (and the future Queen of England) have engagement rings that one can only dream of trying on, let alone sporting on a daily basis for the rest of their lives. And while most people can’t shell out the cash for a ring that weighs your hand down, there are many affordable replicas that are equally as impressive. We’ve rounded up 10 blingy buys that won’t break the bank. Just make sure you casually leave this page open on your computer so your significant other will get the hint! (Psst, these 10 not your jam? Check out our latest roundup of non-traditional engagement rings, including one inspired by NastyGal founder Sophia Amoruso’s recent rock!)
1. Kate Middleton Engagement Ring ($1,695): The Duchess of Cambridge’s ring is timeless and probably the most famous bauble in the world. We’re all a little obsessed with the blue sapphire, and for just a sliver of the estimated $300,000 value, you can wear one from your own prince. (via The Huffington Post)
2. Leo Ingwer (price upon request): Third time really is a charm for Kim Kardashian-West. While her 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond probably makes it hard for her to put her hand in her pocket, the simplicity of the cushion-cut ring is what makes it beautiful. Even a smaller, more affordable version is just as impressive of a rock. (via E! News)
3. Comfort Fit Ring (Setting $495, diamonds starting at $660): You guys… gold bands are in! Lauren Conrad’s ring from beau William Tell is sophisticated and girly, just like the former reality star. Also, since we’re talking about rings, we’re also eyeing her Sydney Evan Love ring. (via Lauren Conrad)
4. Diamond Masterpiece ($3,999): A whirlwind romance paid off for Kaley Cuoco in the diamond department. Her 2.5 Red C Jewels sparkler is perfect if you want a ring that makes a statement but isn’t too gaudy. (via E! News, image via Fashnberry)
5. Oval Diamond Classic Solitaire Engagement Ring ($594): We know you were rooting for Jennifer Aniston to find love after Brad, us too. And honestly, we wanted to see her flash a completely drool-worthy rock when the time came along. Done and done. If you want a traditional single-stone ring, but also want people to give it a second glance, an oval-shaped stone will do the trick. (via Buzznet)
6. Blue Nile Build Your Own Ring in Platinum (Setting $550, diamonds starting at $282): Jackie and Kelso forever! We can’t stand it… The ring that Ashton Kutcher gave Mila Kunis is a simple, round stone on a plain silver band. It’s the perfect rock for a low-key bride. (Image via Yahoo)
7. Baguette Halo Diamond Engagement Ring ($1,830): Allison Williams’ character on Girls may be unlucky in love, but in real life, she’s not. She got engaged earlier this year to longtime boyfriend Ricky Van Veen. If you’re looking for a ring that is fashion forward but also timeless, a round diamond ring offset by modest baguettes is the best way to ice yourself. (via Daily Mail)
8. Yellow Diamond Ring ($3,500): All those years of writing bitter breakup songs paid off for Kelly Clarkson. Her now-husband Brandon Blackstock presented her with a yellow diamond Johnathon Arndt ring that pairs perfectly with her edgy, country vibe. (via Us Weekly)
9. Neil Lane Engagement Ring ($7,299): Talk about bling bling! Ciara’s emerald cut ring may be flashy and over-the-top, but we approve! Say goodbye to your single days with sass. (via The Gloss)
10. Radiant-Cut Fancy Yellow + White Diamond Frame Engagement Ring ($5,919): Talk about a view! (See what we did there…) Jenny McCarthy’s fiancé, the dreamboat otherwise known as New Kids on the Block singer Donny Walhberg, proposed with a yellow sapphire. We love that it’s not a traditional diamond. (via The Knot)
