Honestly, I’ve never thought much of Victoria Beckham’s style and styling. Even now that Posh is “classy” and Vogue-friendly, I still find her look to be pretty unnotable. The trousers are usually too big and too long, the color choices are questionable and she replaced the flat-ironed ‘90s hair with a string of artfully messy chignons. Blah, boring. But maybe I always thought Posh was boring because I never really clocked her jewelry? As it turns out, Victoria has been quietly hoarding major jewelry this whole time. She’s all about the big rings, and she always wears them on her left hand, which makes The Sun believe that Posh has “14 engagement rings.”
Victoria Beckham has revealed her 14th engagement ring from her 18-year marriage to David. Seemingly not content with the original £65,000 diamond he proposed with back in 1998, Victoria has changed her rock multiple times – with the collection now totalling an estimated £8.9million.
The couple celebrated their anniversary earlier this week and Victoria unveiled her latest addition to her extensive collection of jewels. As she touched down in Paris Fashion Week she showed off a stunning yellow diamond which was set in a platinum band. The piece is thought to be worth over £120,000 but it’s just one in a long line of upgraded engagement rings Victoria has shown off over almost two decades.
You can go to the Sun to see all of her “engagement ring upgrades.” Personally, I don’t believe we should call them engagement rings at all. They’re cocktail rings or anniversary rings or JUST RINGS which she happens to wear on her left hand. Maybe her ring fingers are different sizes on each hand – mine are – and she prefers to wear rings on her left hand, just in general. I’m right-handed, and I don’t like to wear jewelry on my right hand or wrist. Hm.
Here’s a close-up of the allegedly new ring, the “14th.”

I would rather have a faithful husband than all these rings but maybe that’s just me
Yes, and not one who looks like he’d rather be anywhere else than standing next to you.
Someone on another site said it’s a “Kobe ring” — a ring for every time he’s caught cheating. So a doorknob-sized-diamond-a-day wouldn’t change the optics/obvious of this marriage (brand) at this point.
They’re prob just various baubles she picked & paid for and knows a ring *that* size worn on *that* finger would catch max attention. Nothing more.
LOL 😀
I’d rather be single forever than have an unfaithful husband or boyfriend. These rings are pretty, but they wouldn’t make me forgive and forget being cheated on
Exactly all the jewellery and money will never make up for having a faithfull and loving husband, which she doesnt have.
For an hot minute I had the cheating angry husband who offered “loving contrition”. He was as rich as life, truly here was no limit. I was so depressed I declined, but honestly, he say I left I felt I grew wings more indescribably beautiful than any shiny gift. Truly.
This comment is beautiful.
Agree, I find her style and designs underwhelming. And yes, those aren’t “engagement rings.” Good for her if she feels like changing things up but I’m assuming David didn’t give her 14 rings when he proposed.
I do love me some big rings. I really like the blue one, even though it doesn’t look real (though I’m sure it is). Though why they’d call them engagement rings I don’t know. Just some nice bling
Is it still an engagement ring of it was given to you by your husband after you got married?
No. It’s just a nice gift 😁
One for the engagement, and thirteen “Sorry for the mistress” rings?
Almost like a carol.
Ankhel: I am on the mistress ring theory too!
@ Ankhel – that’s called the “Kobe Bryant”
I’m picturing errant husbands at the jewelry store: “Show me the Kobes.”
“The Kobe Bryant” hahahahaha
I’m shocked SNL never did a Kay Jewelers spoof with the Kobe Bryant Collection.
Also, let’s not forget that Kobe was not accused of mere cheating. He was accused of a serious assault.
Is THAT what a Kobe is. What a thing to be famous for.
Can the trend of “upgrading” engagement rings or having some kind of roster of rings please please die already? It’s so effing soulless.
An engagement ring is the one you’re proposed to with, no matter how pretty or size of the stone. I also would call all of her other ones just cocktail or anniversary rings, not engagement rings. They weren’t engaged 14 times, so why would she have 14 engagement rings?
Agreed. The proposal ring is the engagement ring. These are just…rings.
Beth, you couldn’t be more right. I’m so pissed at this for slightly different reasons but still! I’ve seen a lot of “upgrading” engagement or wedding rings lately in my circle of friends, celebrities, my own mom! It’s very tacky in my opinion. Your partner gave you a symbol of love and commitment and all you see is a piece of jewelry to be levelled up at the earliest opportunity? Please, please get a personality.
I didn’t have a diamond engagement ring but a friend did and when she went to the jeweler to have it cleaned they asked her if she wanted an upgrade. Turn the ring in with a little more cash and she could get a “bigger better” ring. She was offended. She wanted to keep the tiny diamond her husband proposed with. Upgrading your engagement ring is a thing….
I agree they’re not engagement rings after you’re married, and in this marriage’s case it definitely seems like a sorry-I-cheated gift, but I don’t think upgrading your ring is a bad thing.
My husband got me a new setting, with my original diamond, for our 5th anniversary. At that time, I actually had my original simple plain band set with a CZ, so I could keep it for sentimental value, since it’s what he put on my finger when we got married/engaged. (Part of the reason for the upgrade was that I have stupidly sensitive skin and my 14k band turned my finger black on the regular—something I didn’t know until I started wearing my engagement ring—so he upgraded it to platinum.)
For our recent 15th anniversary he upgraded the diamond in that “new” setting. I thought it was sweet and kind, and thoughtful, and not a sign of anything amiss. But, yes, we did have to trade-in the original diamond to do it, because we’re not wealthy and I don’t live in a world where it’s feasible to have “extra” diamonds lying around. It’s still far from huge (new diamond is 1-1/2 carets vs the 3/4-caret I had originally), and he said it was a reflection of where we are in our lives now, vs when we got engaged. Where we’d got to TOGETHER in our lives, I might add. It wasn’t something I asked for, but I found it very sweet none-the-less.
We got a bigger stone in my ring for either our 30th or 35th anniversary, can’t remember. I love it.
I think it’s just as good to trade in an old ring, rather than have the old diamond rolling around in a drawer. It’s like the first diamond becomes part of the new one, when the old one is made part of the payment. And the old diamond can go on to make someone else happy all over again.
Ankhel, yes, that’s exactly what we did.
I think it depends on the couple and the situation. I had a friend who had a nice sized ring (about a carat) and was at the time running with a wealthier, socialite crowd and wanted to upgrade – something that her husband would NOT been keen to do. She didn’t – and then she switched social crowds and didn’t find it nearly as important.
If I had their money I’d have a lot of ring bling. I love ring bling more than earrings or necklaces.
@KiddV – Yes, yes, yes. Me too. Big ringy bling all day long!
Same!
Well, he also has multiple styles of wedding rings, so it’s not just her; it’s just both their style. In his younger years he would wear a diamond encrusted band. Then a plain silver ring. Now a plain gold band.
Posh has been bringing the ring p0rn for years! Go back and look at photos of her over time, and she very frequently poses with her left hand highly visible so that we can all see the ring she’s wearing.
I’d take the emerald… that said, could Little Harper be more adorable?
I love Posh’s rings! I have at least 10 “engagement” rings myself. Although, definitely not all diamonds – mostly moissanite.
I collect them I guess, but also sell them occasionally to fund the next purchase.
Engagement style rings are my downfall…
Husband recently purchased a new e-ring for me & asked that I please stop wearing any others on my left ring finger (I’m a stacker! So far so good – I simply had a few of my favorites sized up for my right hand.
(Luckily, it was NOT a Kobe ring!)
Also I agree with the general consensus re: Posh’s style tending to be rather bland. Too bad because she would likely look great in brighter colors/different styles, or just about anything really… Aside from trousers so long that she’s stepping on the hems of course…
