Victoria Beckham's Engagement Ring

While their rise in star stature over the years has allowed for an ever-changing array of diamond rings for her left hand, the three-carat, marquise cut ring presented to Victoria Beckham (still Victoria Adams at the time) by soccer legend David Beckham when he asked for her hand in marriage at the Rookery Hall Hotel in January 1998 surely holds a special place in the heart of the former Spice Girl. Purchased at a price of $65,000, reports have attributed the sparkler to two different jewelers, with some sites claiming Van Cleef & Arpels as the ring's origin, while others indicate that the symbol of the couple's love came from the equally top drawer jewelry retailer Boodle & Dunthorpe.

Equally enamoured by diamonds, the prospective groom received his own engagement ring from his bride-to-be-- a band embellished with 96 diamonds at the cost of $80,000, People magazine reported. Doubtless both of their rings, along with their wedding bands, sparkled in the light as they drank Laurent Perrier rose champagne toasts to their union on July 4, 1999.
