26 celebrity engagement rings that are big, bold and beautiful

One of the first things we do whenever a female celebrity gets engaged is to check out her engagement ring. And the questions pop up quickly and naturally: how big is the diamond?

Is it a diamond, or another type of precious stone? What's the cut? How much, ah?

But not like it's not understandable, right? Not many among us will be able to own a rock of similar value in this lifetime. And, hey, it's natural to want to admire something jaw-droppingly blingy-a rock like that is meant to draw attention.

So for your viewing pleasure, we've rounded up some of the biggest, boldest and most beautiful celebrity engagement rings we've seen so far.

Jenna Dewan announced her engagement to Steve Kazee in February, a month before the couple welcomed their first daughter. The actor described the ring to People magazine: "The solitaire is representative of our oneness in the universe surrounded by stars.

The diamonds laid into the band are representative of the pleiades constellation which holds special meaning for Jenna and I."
