What better way to show the world that you are in love with the act of giving and receiving an engagement ring? With many actresses and other famous women sporting bigger diamond rings and sparklier, commitments of celebrities have become a delight for lovers of jewelry. The size of the diamond is not necessarily the key to this part of these rings so famous and recognizable, it seems more like a combination of the engagement ring itself and the famous lady it is associated.
