While the couple recently shared the "hardest part" of their marriage on the new show, David and Victoria Beckham have one of the longest celebrity marriages. The British soccer legend, 48, and his Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer wife, 49, who the British press affectionately nicknamed them 'Posh and Becks', started dating in 1997 and tied the knot in July 1999.

In the glamorous world of celebrity engagements, few things capture attention quite like celebrity engagement rings. And when it comes to iconic engagement ring styles over time, Victoria Beckham's collection is a cut above the rest. Over the years, the fashion icon has donned a dazzling array of engagement rings that reflect not only the evolution of her style but also the milestones in her personal life.
Throughout Victoria & David Beckham’s 24 years of marriage, Victoria Beckham has had a whopping total of 15 engagement rings. Starting with the ring David first proposed with in 1998 all the way up to 2018, we take a closer look at all 15 of Victoria Beckham's engagement rings over time.
The answer is not very often! VB decides to keep things minimal and lets these huge precious gemstones and diamonds speak for themselves. Occasionally, as seen with her 2006 yellow diamond ring, Victoria Beckham will wear an eternity band paired with her engagement ring for a bespoke look.
We spoke to UK retailer Steven Stone’s leading diamond expert, Maxwell Stone, to get a valuation of this extensive ring collection. The diamond expert said, From diamonds and rubies to emeralds and sapphires, Victoria’s engagement ring collection contains some of the world’s finest precious gemstones. Worth over £32,000,000, it showcases both her penchant for expensive jewels and her longstanding reputation as a trendsetter.
Victoria and David Beckham have been married for 24 years and in that time, David has bought the former Spice Girl a total of 15 engagement rings – most of which have a value of over £1,000,000!
David’s new Netflix documentary series follows the couple's story from the start, presenting us with the key moments of their relationship – including their engagement. When David got down on one knee in 1998, he proposed with a 3ct marquise cut diamond, set on a plain yellow gold band, that’s worth around £65,000.
In 1998, David Beckham proposed to Victoria with a stunning marquise-cut solitaire diamond set on a yellow gold band. This ring set the stage for what would become a vast collection of iconic engagement rings. The simplicity and elegance of the marquise diamond showcased Victoria's classic and timeless sense of style.
Victoria Beckham stopped wearing her marquise-cut diamond ring and moved onto a platinum set eternity band. The simple but no less extravagant ring was the only band she wore. It’s a 2 in 1!
Venturing beyond traditional diamonds, Victoria later embraced colourful gemstones. Among her most notable pieces is a captivating oval-cut emerald set on a diamond-encrusted band. This ring signals her adventurous side and willingness to experiment with vibrant hues.
Marking another style transformation, Victoria was spotted with a breathtaking pink diamond ring. Set in a halo of smaller white diamonds and resting on a platinum band, this ring epitomises femininity and luxury. 2004 was also the year Victoria Beckham turned 30! David gifted this sparkling pink diamond ring for her birthday. The decadent ring cost $1.1 million at the time.
The next ring obviously had to top that stunning pink diamond ring, which is why this stunning diamond was 17 carats! This is a fave for Mrs Beckham as she still wears it regularly.
This yellow diamond was normally worn with two diamond eternity bands for a bold statement look. It’s entrancing, we’re struggling to look away.

Mounted in a beautiful white diamond setting, this ruby engagement ring is one of the most eye-catching rings from the whole collection.
Completing the precious gemstone set (because what 15 ring collection wouldn’t have precious stones in it), is this immaculate sapphire ring. There’s something about sapphire that’s so elegant! Maxwell Stone, a leading diamond expert, reports that While Victoria’s first ring is no doubt sensational, it features one of the most modest stones in her collection – particularly when it’s compared to the sapphire engagement ring that she received in 2010. Featuring a 15-20ct high-quality sapphire on a platinum pave band, the ring is likely to be worth a staggering £5,000,000 and is by far her most impressive sparkler.
Oh yes, two rings in one year? I think we need to re-look at our standards. Reducing the size heavily from her previous sapphire, this pink diamond ring is so stunning. Victoria was obviously a fan of this one because she had it for 5 years.
