Jennifer Lopez's Iconic Collection of Coloured Diamond Engagement Rings
In the realm of celebrity engagements, few have captivated the public eye like Jennifer Lopez's dazzling array of engagement rings. From classic solitaires to rare coloured diamonds, Lopez's engagement rings have consistently set new standards for elegance, opulence, and symbolism in the world of celebrity engagement rings.

Jennifer’s first engagement ring came from Ojani Noa in 1997. The ring had a marquise white diamond at its centre, a gemstone cut that was becoming increasingly popular in the late 90s due to its elegant yet unusual shape. We’ve estimated that the diamond itself is between 3.5 and 4 carats in weight, meaning it's a pretty sizeable stone! The solitaire stone was set on a simple yellow gold band, allowing all the attention to fall on the beautiful diamond. A natural diamond of this carat weight is hard to come by, so we would estimate that Ojani Noa spent around £80,000 on the ring for Jennifer, which, although a staggering price, is the least expensive of her six rings!
We love the marquise cut for its distinctive elongated shape, with its pointed ends and elegant design, the marquise diamond is a symbol of elegance and sophistication. It's a unique choice and has historical links to French royalty, meaning it's perfect for such a high profile celeb such as Jennifer Lopez.

The second out of Jennifer's six engagement rings came from Cris Judd, a backup dancer she met on set for a music video. Cris gifted Jennifer a stunning emerald cut diamond solitaire ring to mark their engagement. Known for its clean lines and sleek appearance, the emerald cut has seen a significant increase in popularity over recent years, with celebrities such as the Kardashians leading the trend for emerald cut engagement rings. Take a look at our collection of emerald cut rings for some more inspiration.
We’ve estimated the diamond to be around 4 carats in weight and is elegantly set on another yellow gold band, this time adorned with a white diamond pavé setting. The pavé band provides the ring with extra glamour and sparkle, without distracting from the centre stone. We would estimate this stunning addition to her collection to be worth approximately £100,000! The solitaire engagement ring holds deep symbolism and meaning, representing the joining of two souls and the shared bond between spouses.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck (2002)

Following the inception of 'Bennifer', Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck swiftly got engaged, much to the world's delight! Everyone across the globe was revelling in the love of this early 00s favourite couple, so it's no surprise that when Ben proposed with a pink diamond it started a worldwide craze for coloured diamonds. With their warm, rosy hues, pink diamonds are known as a symbol of romance and love, perfect for this iconic couple!

The trilogy engagement ring, featuring a 6 carat pink diamond at its centre is a true spectacle. Pink diamonds are one of the rarest gemstones in the world, and one of this carat weight is even harder to come by! Due to the rarity of the diamond and the vivid pink of the stone we would estimate this ring set Ben Affleck back between a whopping £2 million and £2.5 million.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony

Jennifer’s fourth engagement ring was from salsa music star Marc Anthony. The two got engaged in 2004 and the ring was nothing short of spectacular! Featuring an extravagant 8.5 carat natural blue diamond, the ring is an opulent display of affection to say the least. Blue diamonds are again, one of the rarest gemstones in the world, and one of this carat size is extremely hard to come by. The ring is paired with two baguette diamonds on each side and is set atop a platinum band, making it a truly exceptional piece of jewellery. We would estimate Jennifer’s ring from Marc Anthony to be approximately £3 million, due to the stones' rarity and quality.
The trilogy design is loved for its sophisticated appearance and deep symbolism. With each stone representing the couple's journey from their past to their present and into the future. Blue diamonds also hold a deeper meaning of tranquillity and peace for the wearer, due to their calm, serene beauty.

With her fifth engagement ring, JLo went back to her roots of a solitaire white diamond. Alex Rodriguez proposed to Jennifer with a stunning 15 carat white diamond engagement ring, set on a chunky tapered platinum band, the ring blends classic elegance and modern sophistication. The diamond itself is of superb quality, boasting near perfect clarity and colour. Combined with its impressive carat weight, this stunning piece is estimated to be worth around £1 million, making it a gorgeous reflection of not only their romance but also the opulence that defines Jennifer’s iconic style.
Diamonds symbolise eternal love and the unbreakable bond between couples, due to their status as the hardest material on Earth. This symbolism makes white diamonds an ideal choice for engagement rings, complementing their stunning beauty with enduring significance.

Ben’s second ring for Jennifer is approximately £4 million, making it Jennifer’s most expensive engagement ring to date.
