Victoria Beckham’s panoply of engagement rings was best described by Pamela Anderson at the pop-star-turned-fashion-designer’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection presentation in Paris: “She’s the queen of reinvention.”
With Posh Spice’s decades-long career including stints as a girl group supernova, one-time actress and footballer WAG, the fashion force has set a precedence for evolving your engagement ring to fit each style era.
With her 24-year-long marriage to David Beckham the ubiquitous thread seeing her through each transformation, it’s reported that the former football player has spoiled her with over 15 different engagement rings throughout their matrimony. That’s an average of one ring every year and a half.

Victoria Beckham’s 15 Engagement Rings
1. Marquise-Cut Yellow Diamond
Victoria Beckham’s first engagement ring is a marquise-cut yellow diamond—a piece of jewellery she received in 1998 upon her engagement to David. The then-singer proudly unveiled her “dream” ring to the media in Chesire. The ring was set on a gold band and sparked the Beckhams tradition of exchanging engagement rings.
2. Dazzling Eternity Band
Soon after Victoria and David Beckham’s opulent 1999 wedding in Ireland, Victoria began sporting a dazzling eternity band, pictured here at a book signing for her memoir in 2001.
3. Emerald-Cut Diamond With Side Baguettes
In 2003, Beckham stepped out with a crystal clear, emerald-cut diamond flanked by two side baguettes. The perfect addition to the Beckham’s chintzy, all-white red carpet ensembles.
4. Pink Champagne Halo Diamond
In 2004, Beckham received her fourth engagement ring from her husband: a pink champaign halo diamond. The ring was a gift for the Spice Girl’s 30th birthday. Take a better look below.
5. 17-Carat Pear Diamond
In 2005, Beckham upgraded to her largest diamond ring, an eye-watering 17-carat pear-cut diamond.
6. Emerald-Cut Yellow Diamond
Sometime in 2006, Beckham began sporting a large emerald-cut yellow diamond. She flanked the stone with two eternity bands to give the appearance of a more robust stack. Here’s another look at the radiant stone below.
7. Cushion-Cut Emerald
Though Beckham’s penchant for emeralds was cemented with her regular sporting of emerald-cut diamonds, she made her adoration for the precious green stone official with this blinding cushion-cut emerald ring in 2007.
8. Emerald-Cut Diamond
As Beckham entered a new style aesthetic in the mid-to-late 2000s, so did her engagement ring. In late 2007, Beckham upgraded to a larger emerald-cut diamond.
9. Round-Cut Ruby
By the beginning of the 2010s, Beckham had already amassed nine different engagement rings. Once again venturing into a new category of stone, Beckham began sporting a round-cut ruby ring accented by a dazzling diamond band. Below, a better look a the ring’s brilliance.
10. Oval-Cut Sapphire
In Beckham’s 11th year of marriage, she once again eschewed the conventional diamond engagement ring for something more sentimental, an oval-cut sapphire.
11. Oval-Cut Rare White Diamond
Within months of sporting her sapphire ring, Beckham once again returned to a diamond stone, this time in an oval-cut variety.
12. Mighty Moonstone
By the time Beckham’s reputation as a certified fashion designer was cemented, the style savant had already moved onto another unconventional engagement ring: a moonstone ring designed by Jacob & Co.
13. Square-Cut Rare White Diamond
During the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, Beckham could be seen wearing a square-cut diamond ring, proving her adoration for architecturally sharp and bejewelled bijoux.
14. Circle-Cut Exceptional White Diamond
In the 2020s, Beckham sporadically sported this circle-cut diamond.
15. Square-Cut Colourless Diamond
Beckham’s most recent engagement ring is another square-cut ring. Since its debut earlier this year, Beckham has been loyal to the style, wearing it on nearly every public outing. Though, considering Beckham’s track record, we wouldn’t be surprised if her allegiance wavers with a 16th ring.
