The £10.5m Engagement Ring Collection of Mariah Carey
Known to be the number one diva of pop and R&B, it's no surprise that all three of Mariah Carey’s engagement rings are absolute showstoppers! Let’s take a look back at Mariah Carey’s three engagement rings and see what makes them as iconic as the woman who wore them.
Mariah Carey’s Engagement Ring From Tommy Mottola
Mariah’s first engagement ring was from her previous Sony Music boss and mentor, Tommy Mottola, in 1992. Mariah was given an emerald cut white diamond ring which had two baguette cut diamonds on each side. Our jewellery experts have estimated that the centre stone of this ring is approximately a staggering 10 carats! Set into platinum, the white diamond ring has been valued at around £400,000!
The ring is a classic design and one that never goes out of style. The simple platinum band along with the white diamonds are a combination that will likely remain popular forever, as the white metal allows the white stone to truly shine!

Mariah Carey’s Engagement Ring From Nick Cannon
The second engagement ring Mariah received was from television personality Nick Cannon in 2007. The ring had a stunning 10 carat emerald cut pink diamond at its centre and was surrounded by 58 vibrant pink diamonds, bringing the total carat weight to an impressive 17 carats! The ring is undoubtedly a show stopping choice.
Pink diamonds were definitely having a moment in the 2000s, with celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez also showing off her love for the warm, romantic coloured gemstone. Celebrity proposals with coloured diamonds began a worldwide craze for these lavish gems and the sales of coloured diamonds saw a massive rise!

Mariah Carey’s Engagement Ring From James Packer
Last but most certainly not least, Mariah’s third and final engagement ring was from businessman James Packer. After looking at the ring we have estimated the centre white diamond to weigh in at around 35 carats and is set upon a simple platinum band, allowing the spotlight to focus on the massive emerald cut diamond. Due to its large size and excellent cut and clarity, we would estimate the ring to be around £10 million, making it one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings of all time.
All of Mariah's engagement rings feature a stunning emerald cut diamond at their centre, through the geometric faces within the stone the emerald cut allows colourless diamonds to appear even brighter!
