The average cost of an A-List engagement ring in 2022 is a jaw-dropping £380,466

2022 has been a huge year for celebrity engagements, with some of the world’s biggest starts showing off their huge and in some cases, unusual rings – from Jennifer Lopez and Avril Lavigne to Vick Hope and Perrie Edwards.

Engagement ring experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have tallied up thirty celebrity engagement rings, analyzing each and every one – from the stone, shape, and setting, to the cost, carat, and even the date of the proposals. As a result, we can officially reveal the biggest celebrity engagement ring trends of 2022.

Maxwell Stone commented: “Though precious gemstones such as sapphires and emeralds are becoming increasingly popular for engagement rings, diamonds have reigned once more this year. With 47% of celebrities receiving rings on a solitaire setting, it’s clear to see that the majority of celebrities have favoured traditional styles in 2022.

With Christmas deemed to be the most romantic time of the year, it may surprise people that the most celebrity proposals took place in January. We’re notoriously busier in January than November and December, which suggests that people opt to wait for Christmas to be over, or decide to propose after a magical Christmas with their partner.

The average cost of an A-List engagement ring is a jaw-dropping £380,466, which is around £60,000 more than last year’s average – something that we can only assume will rise again in 2023!”
