Carrie "Mr. Big", Sex and the City
From the not so critically acclaimed Sex and the City 2 comes this 5 carat black diamond by designer Itay Malkin. Set in 18k white gold with 80 pave diamonds, Mr. Big gives Carrie this stunner at the end of the film. Why black? “Because you are not like anyone else” he says.
And remember, as Carrie wisely concludes in the show series finale, “The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”

Clearly having doubts and feeling anxious about their relationship, Carrie decides to wear the ring around her neck because it’s “closer to her heart”, and the engagement ends shortly after.

We got a little teary eyed watching Harry propose to Charlotte after she sees him at a mixer and tearfully asks for his forgiveness. Her 5 carat emerald cut Harry Winston ring was patterned after one given to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton in 1968 (pictured above, a 33 carat emerald cut diamond no less!).
