Numerous celebrities have gotten engaged and shown off their massive rings in 2021 so far.
Paris Hilton, Bella Thorne, and Shailene Woodley all received sparkling diamonds this year.
Athletes like Maria Sharapova and Adam Rippon were also proposed to with unique rings.
Maria Sharapova kicked off 2021 by revealing her engagement ring on Instagram.
The tennis player technically announced her engagement to businessman Alexander Gilkes via Instagram on December 17, 2020. It wasn't until the first day of 2021, however, that she showed off her rectangle-cut diamond ring with a gold band.
Musician Tayla Parx proposed to her girlfriend Shirlene Quigley with a round diamond in January.
"From the first week we met, I knew you would be in my life forever," Quigley wrote about Parx on January 14. "I am a believer, I believe in God, in fairy-tale love stories. Honoring my values, finding pure love, and someone who would pursue my heart, was something I prayed for daily."
"To be transparent, as a believer, I struggled for years being attracted to both men and women," she continued. "I told myself, for years it was something I wouldn't do again (date a woman). Being judged doesn't feel good, & that scared me. Until I met someone who showed me what love looked and felt like."
"She loved that I love Jesus and she loves Him too," Quigley wrote. "Someone who not only I thought was super beautiful from outside, but also the inside. Her eyes light my heart, and laugh fills me with more joy, her generosity with her time is unmatched and her constant pursuit of my heart, has made me feel like such a queen. Love is the most important gift of all and it has surpassed anything. Safe to say, I said 'YES' and I am no longer single lol."
At the end of the month, Kate Bock received a giant sparkler from basketball player Kevin Love.
"Well, this was the best birthday surprise I could have ever imagined," the Canadian model wrote on Instagram. "I couldn't be happier to have been asked to be a Love by my love. Heart bursting all day & night."
According to the diamond search engine Rare Carat, Bock's ring is likely from the 1930s, made with an "old European or antique cushion-cut diamond" of approximately four carats, and valued at around $175,000. It also seems to feature "smaller accent stones" of around one carat each.
In February, Adam Rippon revealed that he accepted a gold engagement band encrusted with diamonds.
The Olympian figure skater said in an Instagram post that he and his fiancé Jussi-Pekka Kajaala hadn't seen each other for "almost all of 2020" as a result of the pandemic.
But once the two reunited in Finland for approximately two months, the couple bought "some rings and said that magic word.. 'duh!'"
Shantel VanSanten showed off a large diamond ring that same day.
Her unique engagement ring seemingly features a large oval-shaped diamond atop a rose-gold band. On Instagram, the actress said actor Victor Webster proposed as they hiked a 2,000-foot mountain.
Paris Hilton celebrated her birthday with a sparkling engagement ring.
In an Instagram post on February 17, Hilton said her fiancé Carter Reum "arranged a special trip to tropical paradise" to propose.
He then gave her an emerald-cut ring covered in diamonds that day. As Insider's Celia Fernandez reported, the ring was designed by Jean Dousset, the great-great-grandson of Cartier, and inspired by the city of Paris. It likely could have cost $1 million, according to Rare Carat COO Apeksha Kothari.
Shailene Woodley confirmed she's engaged to Aaron Rodgers during an interview on "The Tonight Show."
Ajay Anand, the founder and CEO of Rare Carat, told Insider that Woodley's ring could have cost at least $500,000.
He also noted that the video footage of the actress isn't crystal clear, but that her ring appears to feature a yellow-gold band with an antique design, and "a rectangular cut" diamond that could be around 6 carats.
At the beginning of March, JWoww got engaged to Zack Clayton.
"On 2/27 I said yes on the top of the Empire State Building 💜💗," the "Jersey Shore" star wrote on Instagram.
Her ring appears to feature a large, circular stone surrounded by a diamond halo, all set on top of a gold band.
Bella Thorne then received a pear-shaped diamond ring from Benjamin Mascolo.
As Insider's Lauren Edmonds reported, Thorne and Mascolo showed off her pear-shaped engagement ring on Instagram. In a close-up video shared to Thorne's Instagram story, you can see that the center stone of her ring is surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds.
Her engagement band is also covered in tiny, sparkling diamonds.
Tallulah Willis, the youngest daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, became engaged to director Dillon Buss in May.
The couple announced the news via Instagram on May 4, and included numerous photos from their proposal. Willis also discussed her 1910s ring and said she picked it out because she has an "obsessive, perfectionist, micro-lens way of viewing special things" in her life.
According to Anand, Willis' step-cut diamond appears to be 5 or 6 carats, and the overall ring could have cost around $200,000.
