I'm not sure why it took Amal Clooney 25 minutes to accept her emerald-cut, triple-stone engagement ring from George Clooney — I'd be begging for him to slip that sparkler onto my finger. (OK, I'm kidding, Amal was probably just shocked by George's proposal). Even so, Amal's design, which she received in April 2014 ahead of the couple's nuptials, is the type that deserves a close-up. It reportedly weighs in at over seven carats and features a baguette on each side of the gorgeous center stone. Professionals guess that the ring cost a whopping $600,000 to $750,000, so it makes sense that Amal still wears it for many fancy occasions, various work outings, and red carpet appearances — this stunner certainly deserves the spotlight.
While I consider Amal's ring design to be glamorous, the structure is sophisticated, and Amal is just that. She seamlessly works the diamond with gold jewelry, floor-sweeping gowns, and modest shift dresses for on-duty moments, proving that even an engagement ring this extravagant can still be considered versatile. If you're a gal who dreams of wearing something extraordinary like Amal's emerald-shaped accessory, I shopped out some similar versions for you ahead at a variety of price points. But first, zoom in on Amal's finest moments showing off her engagement ring.
In September 2014, Amal showed off her engagement ring in Florence at Celebrity Fight Night. She wore a black strapless dress and gold chandelier earrings.
Amal oftentimes wears her engagement ring to work. It appeared at a United Nations Security Council meeting in April 2019.
When Amal joined her husband on the red carpet in May 2016 at the Cannes Film Festival, her engagement ring accessorized her yellow Atelier Versace gown.
While Amal made her way to the Catch-22 premiere with George in an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress, we could just make out her simple wedding band underneath her engagement ring.
