Summer of Engagements

Now That We’ve Seen All the Diamond Rings from the Summer of Engagements, Whose Is Biggest?

Comparisons are odious, as they say, but if we’re going to do this, let’s really do this.

The question on everybody’s lips is who has the most? Out of all the people and out of all the stuff, who has the most of it? We all want to know! Let’s take a look at one single part of it. In this summer of engagements, it seemed like Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson had the most. He got her a pear-shaped, 3.03-carat diamond set in platinum that reportedly cost $93,000. That seemed like a lot, but it was a paltry sum—a mere whim—in the end.

Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber came along, and they too fell in love and chose to commit to each other for life. He proposed to her in the Bahamas, and he also gave her a ring. Time’s experts had estimated the oval-shaped Solow & Co. ring was between 6 to 8 carats and cost at least a quarter of a million. TMZ adjusted the record to half a million.

And then Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas had their July proposal, and there was the rumor that Jonas shut down Tiffany & Co. in London for her, which is the most in its own way, but was it the most in the specific way we all want to know? It’s not! The actress’s friend posted a photo of Chopra wearing her ring on Instagram, which let experts estimate its value. They put it at $200,000. Not the most but not, you know, not the most.

So in the end, it was Bieber and Baldwin who win this race that they never asked to be a part of. Unless we’re counting Paris Hilton, who got engaged over the winter. Her ring was $2 million. In this and all things, Paris Hilton has the most.
