    BLAKE LIVELY

    Ostentatiously huge and glittering, Lively's engagement ring from new husband Ryan Reynolds is a pale pink diamond in a custom setting designed by Lorraine Schwartz. Because of the unconventional colour of the stone along with its impressive size, such a ring comes with quite the price tag (possibly over $2 million). Consider a pink amethyst or sapphire instead of a diamond and look for a rose gold setting and oval rock.
