While Leah was scoping out the prettiest dresses at the People’s Choice Awards, I was getting up close and personal with some celebrities’ left hands. Here are three engagement rings that caught my eye, all for different reasons:
Engagement Ring 1: Gabrielle Union
Technically I was paying less attention to Gabrielle’s engagement ring, which we’ve seen recently, and more attention to her wedding band, which I hadn’t noticed yet. Looks like she got an eternity band with some pretty hefty sized diamonds. (Here’s a shot from her Instagram.)
Engagement Ring 2: Reese Witherspoon
I’m familiar with Reese Witherspoon’s engagement ring but I zoomed in anyway to see if she’d upgraded. Nope, same ring—and it’s still a little too big for her. (At least I assume that’s what it’s spun to the left.) It’s been a little bit floppy since she got engaged in 2011; here’s the solution I offered when I first noticed that it appears to be just a teeny bit too big.
Engagement Ring 3: Portia de Rossi
I’d never noticed Portia de Rossi’s engagement ring, probably because her engagement pre-dates Save the Date. It looks like her current ring, a yellow gem (I assume a diamond) in a thick band is an upgrade from the ring Ellen proposed with, an east-west-set marquise diamond. (Click here to see the original ring.)
Which of these engagement rings is your favorite?
I really like Portia’s original ring. I’m a sucker for horizontally set diamonds.
