From super heavyweight rocks to little sparklers, here is a collection of the most extravagant celebrity engagement rings.

Procop says: 'Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realised over a year-long collaboration with Robert. A spokeswoman for the couple said: 'It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There's no date set at this time.' So sweet.
