NDC survey finds Meghan Markle has most popular celebrity engagement ring
The Duchess of Sussex’s ring, was the number-one choice in a poll of 2,000 adults living in the UK
Meghan Markle is the celebrity with the best engagement ring, according to a survey from the Natural Diamond Council (NDC). The Duchess of Sussex’s ring, which features a cushion-cut center stone sourced from Botswana between two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana’s personal collection, was the number-one choice in a poll of 2,000 adults living in the UK, the NDC said Tuesday. Meanwhile, actress Mila Kunis’s round brilliant diamond engagement ring from actor Ashton Kutcher came in second, while singer Adele’s pear-shaped jewel ranked third. Kate Middleton’s ring, featuring an oval blue sapphire center stone with a diamond-halo surround nabbed the fourth spot, while newly engaged Zendaya’s east-west emerald-cut diamond ring from Tom Holland placed number five.
The survey also delved into respondents’ personal preferences, the NDC noted. Nearly half of respondents said if money were no object, they would prefer a white diamond. However, those aged 18 to 24 stated they would opt for a colored diamond, the study found. When it came to cut, round brilliant and emerald were the most popular, each nabbing 12% of the vote. Respondents aged 65 or older preferred rounds, while those between 18 and 24 chose ovals.
