Britney Spears' Engagement Ring

Britney Spears' Engagement Ring

Britney Spears actually has two engagement rings: the first was a $40,000 platinum ring she purchased herself before wedding Kevin Federline. Nine months after they married, while she was pregnant with their first child, he found the means to present her with a second ring. Despite the scandal and heresy that has shadowed Spears’ career, that nostalgic gesture clearly demonstrates the love between husband and wife and shows how they both value classic traditions.

Design of Britney Spears' Engagement Ring

Britney Spears’ engagement ring is a platinum band with a single, round, classic set diamond. At 5.5 carats, the ring is far larger than most brides, but not as ostentatious as many celebrity and Hollywood rings, which often reach double digits in carat weight. Her earlier ring was a princess cut diamond in a semi-traditional split band setting. Both rings were exclusively designed by Cynthia Wolff.

Purchase

Many wealthy women actually do purchase their own engagement rings because their husbands cannot compete with the price tags of the other jewels in their collection. When Hollywood demands extravagance, there is no way to win: Spears has been criticized for purchasing her own ring, while her husband has been criticized for not initially being able to afford the jewels society expects Spears to flaunt.
