Beyoncé and Jay-Z concealed their marriage for a while after tying the knot in April of 2008. Though a little non-traditional where the silhouette of wedding bands are concerned, her wedding ring truly knocks the socks off many others. This 18 carat, flawless diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz is worth over $5 million. She showed it off for the first time in a number honoring Etta James at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.

Eva has a history of loving Piaget jewelry. In July of 2007, Eva and hubby Tony Parker exchanged Piaget Possession rings during a fairy tale wedding in Paris, in Saint Germain L’Auxerrois Church. The rings were engraved with personal messages inscribed in French. Her ring, valued at $25,000 was made of white gold and set with over two carats’ worth of brilliant cut diamonds and three carats of square cut diamonds. It features 107 gems: 80 brilliant cut diamonds arranged in two rows around the ring with the 27 square cut stones in between. Tony’s ring, a little less pricy at $1400, was more simple while staying very elegant – an 18k white gold band.
