Vidya Balan & Siddharth Roy Kapur
Engagement rings haven’t always been all about the diamond. Let’s face the fact that India being such a diverse country, with tons of traditions and cultures, everyone does not go for the classic rock. And our Bollywood celebrities cannot be left behind. Take for instance Vidya Balan’s engagement ring. Vidya got engaged in the year 2012 to Siddharth Roy Kapur. She is unquestionably an actress of substance, which is clearly indicated when we have a look at her choices. Keeping in mind how unique she is, Siddharth ended up gifted her an antique ring in pure gold. To enhance charm, the ring has a ruby right in the middle. The ring elegantly compliments her traditional choice of attire, as she gracefully carries all her ravishing sarees.
But these matrimonies were all from the recent past. Let’s talk about two of the most hyped weddings that we happen to witness in more recent times. It was the “Ram-Leela” actresses, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, tying the knot with the love of their lives. Who would’ve known that real-life ‘Mastani’ would end up marrying her ‘Bajirao’ and our beloved ‘Kashibai’ will find love from across the seven seas!
Deepika Padukone And Ranveer Singh
Deepika and Ranveer had an intimate wedding ceremony in Italy. The couple had everyone in awe as they shared their pictures on all social media platforms. Deepika had donned a resplendent Sabyasachi bridal lehenga and jewellery. Besides the Sanskrit quote on her dupatta, what caught the attention of the entire world was her huge solitaire diamond engagement ring which could be seen standing out of the many rings the actress wore for her D-day! Deepika’s engagement ring was a beautifully radiant-cut ring by ‘Tyaani’ by Karan Johar. The rectangle solitaire set in platinum, which looked splendid on her hands covered in mehendi, got the town talking for its mere size. The huge ring was priced between INR1.3 – 2.7 crore. While Deepika was happily flaunting her rock everywhere, the ladies around the world wistfully wished for the exact same ring for themselves too!
Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas
On the other hand, Deepika’s Bajirao Mastani co-star Priyanka Chopra, tied the knot with international pop singer Nick Jonas, in Jodhpur. Priyanka had gone all-in when it came to the series of stunning dresses that she wore on all occasions of her wedding. Starting from a colourful Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla look for her mehendi to the customized wedding gown by the world famous designer Ralph Lauren! But keeping all this aside, what caught the attention of the media and her fans was the rock on her finger.
Priyanka’s engagement ring is from Tiffany’s & Co, featuring a square cushion-cut diamond set in platinum and is just as extravagant as one would expect. Priyanka’s gorgeous engagement ring is a timeless design and truly one of the finest pieces of jewellery we’ve ever seen. Since it was from Tiffany’s, the diamonds are ethically sourced as they are among the very best found in nature. The cost of Priyanka’s ring is estimated to be approximately around INR 2.1 crore. It’s true when they said that the rich and famous have it all so well.
