Israeli Diamond Portal : This Valentine’s Day may be extra special for us – rumor has it that

Jan. 31, 2010 - PRLog -- This Valentine’s Day may be extra special for us – rumor has it that Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is planning to propose to Israeli model/girlfriend Bar Refaeli – and on the most romantic day of the year too.



The British media reported that DiCaprio was prompted to pop the question by his mother, who apparently never quite got over her son's faux pas with catwalk queen Gisele Bundchen. Just to make the proposal even harder to refuse, DiCaprio is said to be planning on presenting Refaeli with a rare canary yellow diamond ring. We're keeping the month of June clear, just in case.



In the spirit of sharing the joy, this would be a good time to look back on several other sparkling stunners adorned by various celebrities in ways of engagement rings.



Hip Hop princess Beyonce's beau Jay-Z made her an offer she couldn't refuse when he presented her with an emerald-cut, 18-carat, flawless diamond set in platinum. The Lorraine Schwartz design set him back a cool $5 million.



English rose Elizabeth Hurley's finger is the stage for a 15.09-carat Asscher-cut diamond set in a white gold band adorned with pave diamonds, which is an exclusive Haute Joallerie collection piece.



Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria couldn't possibly be that desperate when you consider NBA star Tony Parker decided to go for a slam dunk when he proposed, and gave her a custom-made Jean Dousset ring featuring a 5-carats, emerald-cut diamond set in a white gold ring circled with a total of 248 smaller diamonds.



Spicing it up on our list is Victoria Beckham, who sports sparkles from Boodle and Dunthorne in the shape of a 3-carat, marquise-cut diamond. Husband David Beckham scored himself the matching diamond engagement band set with 96 diamonds.



Naturally, no such list would be complete without a touch of royalty, this time with a nostalgic twist: when Prince Rainier of Monaco asked Hollywood star Grace Kelly for her hand, he slipped a 12-carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring on her finger. The eye-popper was even featured in Kelly's last movie, “High Society”: During a close up in the 1956 film, co-star Bing Crosby teases – "some stone, did you mine it yourself?"
