Her first engagement ring was the three-carat marquise-cut diamond set on a plain yellow gold band David gave her when he proposed in 1998. It was said at the time the footballer spent £69,000 on the rock.
Neil Dutta, Managing Director of Angelic Diamonds told MailOnline: ‘Victoria Beckhams’ first engagement ring is a three-carat marquise-cut diamond set on a plain yellow gold.
‘The excellent cut diamond, set on an 18k gold band, is valued up to £299,563 today.’
After she and David tied the knot, Victoria stopped wearing the marquise cut and swapped it for a platinum set eternity band.
Her only single band, that she wore for around 18 months in the early days of her marriage, is worth over £14,000.
In 2003, Victoria showed off yet another engagement ring as she was seen sporting an emerald-cut diamond with side baguettes set in platinum.
The ring features, approximately, a six-carat emerald-cut diamond with two diamonds approximately 2.5ct set in a platinum band and worth up to £2,300,000,’ said Neil.
The following year, to celebrate her 30th birthday, David gave his wife a pink champagne diamond ring in a halo setting, reportedly worth £1.3 million.
In 2005, Victoria debuted her most extravagant ring yet as she was seen wearing a 17 carat pear-cut diamond which she still regularly wears today.
Neil explained: ‘The engagement ring alone is estimated at £1.8 million, it features a 12ct emerald cut yellow diamond set in a yellow-gold pavéd band, to enhance the colour is the large diamond.’
Her next rock was an eye-catching emerald diamond set in a yellow-gold pave band which she debuted in 2006, her first gemstone-centered piece valued at £2.4 million.
Victoria clearly had a thing for emerald cuts as she showed off a new diamond with 15 carats in 2008.

To complete Victorias’s’ precious gemstone set – an emerald, a ruby and a sapphire – in 2010, she was gifted a huge oval cut sapphire on a skinny platinum pavé band.
Neil Dutta said: ‘This ring is the largest gemstone in Victoria’s gemstone collection. It features a large 20ct oval cut sapphire set in a slim platinum white diamond pavé band. We predict this ring to be worth £4.4 million.’
It wasn’t until 2015 that Victoria debuted a new engagement ring as she sported a round-cut diamond set in a halo design, valued at around £1.5 million.
That same year, she also wore a moonstone set in a diamond-encrusted platinum band.
Diamond expert Neil commented: ‘Large high-quality moonstones like this one in Victorias’ engagement ring are very rare and hard to come by, making it valuable.’
‘The moonstone itself looks to be 15 carat surrounded by a white diamond encrusted platinum band valued at an estimated £4 million.’
