Kris Humphries Engagement Ring Cost Estimator

Even 72-day bride Kim Kardashian got a $2 million engagement ring from groom Kris Humphries Instead of the fairy-tale ceremony of most women’s dreams, Chan wound up with a wedding in her own back. Naturally, it wasn't long before the estimates started rolling in, with experts speculating that the ring set the NBA star back a whopping $2 million. Forget two months' salary, that's almost a.

The most expensive celebrity engagement rings

Engagement rings are an investment that sets the tone for a relationship as it moves into its next phase of life—one of either sparkling success or deep, deep debt. The four “Cs” in analyzing diamond rings are: cut, clarity, color, and carat. But there's a fifth, extremely important 'C:' cost!
A-lister Emma Stone got engaged four months ago to 'SNL' writer and segment director David McCary, and the details on the ring are already in. Stone's vintage-inspired ring is estimated to be worth around US$35,000 to $45,000.

'Big diamonds were always Kim's passion,' the ring designer herself, Lorraine Schwartz, told E! News. 'Growing up she always loved to look at rings. When Kris came in, he knew this but he wanted to make it his decision. He knew he wanted that 'wow' big, and he could have gone bigger, but he wanted Kim's ring to be something she would wear for the rest of her life.'

After being schooled on the cuts and colors available to him, he ultimately went with an Emerald cut because 'it's classy and elegant and he said it reminded him of Kim.'

Now for those specifics: the Emerald-cut white diamond sits in a platinum setting, has a VS clarity grade (it stands for 'very slight,' and if you couldn't tell, is a very good ranking), and is a 16.5-carat gem with two side stones of approximately 2 carats each. Altogether, the ring, caught gracing Kim's hand at the airport by bauergriffinonline.com, is roughly 20.5 carats and valued at—yep—just over $2 million.

Not only that—Schwartz exclusively told E! News that Humphries got a special quote engraved inside the band of the ring, which also features a tiny heart engraved between the couple's initials.

While she's not disclosing what the message reads, she said that Kris took 'three days to get it right' and that the quote is 'very special and meaningful to the two of them.'

Which he should be able to recoup soon enough. As Lamar Odom can no doubt attest, marrying a Kardashian comes with perks, among them access to endorsement dealmaker and brand manager extraordinaire Kris Jenner. Not that being engaged to Kim isn't its own kind of jackpot.
