There are so many engagement rings available.

It's fascinating to see that all kind of celebrities have different taste.

Hey hubbycall, this is an excellent top ten list and hub. I can't believe that there is a 69 carat diamond ring out there that isn't in a museum, but it's no surprise that Elizabeth Taylor has it. She's beautiful enough to deserve it I guess. You can cross-post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
