Grace Kelly’s engagement diamond is currently one of the most costly engagement jewels ever, valued at around $40 million after accounting for inflation. The ring was worth more than $4 million when Prince Rainier III proposed it in the middle of the 1960s. It was quite costly back then, and even though the Hollywood beauty who later became a princess has passed away, its worth has only increased.

The 10.48-carat diamond ring, manufactured by Cartier, is currently in the custody of the Grimaldi family. One of the most famous royal engagement rings ever is the emerald-cut diamond, which has made history.
