Ruby rings are no stranger to celebrity engagements; actress Jessica Simpson received a stunning ruby engagement ring from Eric Johnson; Eva Longoria was presented with an estimated 6 to 8 carat ruby engagement ring by Tony Parker; and Katy Perry received an 8-stone diamond halo ruby engagement ring from Orlando Bloom when he proposed on Valentine’s Day in 2019.
