One couple that has been in the headlines as of late for their hot and heavy romance is Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The reality television star and rapper haven't been shy about their relationship, and it seems that things are getting serious – so serious that rumors are swirling that West may soon pop the question with a vintage engagement ring.

A number of sources are reporting that West intends to propose to the famous Kardashian as soon as she finalizes her divorce from NBA player, Kris Humphries. RadarOnline.com suggests that West is designing a custom ring for Kim composed of gems from his late mother's ring.

"Donda was such an important person in Kanye's life, he thought the world of her and was devastated when she died," a source close to West told the news source. "And now, Kanye has found a woman he respects and loves just as much as his mom, so he wants to share her jewelry collection with Kim."

If it's true that West intends to propose to Kim, he might be considering an antique engagement ring, custom designed to incorporate his mother's jewels. With this type of bauble on her finger, Kim may finally get her happy ending.

Since actress Kate Hudson got engaged to Muse member Matt Bellamy last year, the two have been on the cover of several magazines as they plan their fairytale wedding. Specifically, Hudson's vintage engagement ring has been in the spotlight, catching the attention of photographers around Hollywood and beyond.
Us Weekly Magazine reports that her ring is a timeless piece that includes a large emerald-shaped diamond, nine carats in size. The ring is predicted to be worth approximately $200,000 – why shouldn't she show it off?

Now, The Belfast Telegraph is reporting that the happy couple has been visiting Europe to plan their celebration. Specifically, Hudson said she is eying London as the location for her wedding. The actress was previously married to Chris Robinson of The Black Crows. Her first wedding was held at a ski lodge in Aspen.

If you intend to propose to the love of your life in the near future, you might want to consider doing so with an antique engagement ring. This style is timeless and continues to be a favorite among celebrities. Even if you can't afford a nine-carat diamond, any vintage engagement ring is bound to have a certain amount of charm.

Is it possible to find true love on a reality television show? Former Bachelorette star Emily Maynard will tell you yes! Recently, the single lady found her Prince Charming, Jef Holm, after weeks of working through potential soulmates on the hit TV show.

Holm proposed to Maynard during the finale of the eighth season of The Bachelorette with a $150,000 ring, according to WetPaint.com. This is the largest ring presented in the history of the show. The bauble was in the style of other vintage engagement rings that have recently been seen around Hollywood.

"I feel like the luckiest man in the world," Holm told People Magazine. "I think it's so rare that people find the person that they're meant to be with. I think it's so incredibly meant to be that you and I found each other like this here and I'm so grateful that we did."

As more celebs look to hark back to a simpler time, antique engagement rings and traditional styles are popping up all over Hollywood, including on television. Maynard is the latest lucky lady to sport this type of dazzling engagement ring.

When it comes to engagement rings these days, more celebrities are after antique engagement rings and large diamonds that shine.

However, one celeb who was simply happy to finally say "I do" to her Prince Charming was Dana Renee Wasdin, according to Us Weekly Magazine. The star made it official with her longtime boyfriend, Shawn Ashmore, when he asked her to be his blushing bride. Sources say that the proposal had been in the works for quite some time, and the two have been engaged for awhile despite the fact that the news is just breaking now.

As one might assume, the two intend to walk down the aisle in the near future. The news source reports that Wasdin and Ashmore could tie the knot as soon as at the end of the month.

The two were recently spotted at Comic-Con in San Diego, exchanging signs of affection as they greeted onlookers.

If you want to propose to your loved one in a memorable way, do it with a vintage engagement ring. These pieces are not only timeless, but they fit seamlessly into jewelry trends circulating around Hollywood.

When celebrities get engaged, they want the world to know, whether they're sporting an antique engagement ring or a family heirloom on their ring fingers. One couple that recently confirmed their plans to wed is chef Curtis Stone and actress Lindsay Price.

You could argue that a wedding has been in the making for quite some time – the couple had their first child, Hudson, last November. Since beginning their family, Stone and Price have seemed to be endlessly in love.

"We were in Italy for the week and I got my romance on," Stone told the Huffington Post. "I wrote her a love letter and popped the question. Got down on one knee. I picked [the ring] myself. It was one of the most nerve-racking, bloody weeks of my life because I walked around with it."

An up-close shot of Price's ring has yet to be publicized, but if Stone wanted her to seamlessly fit into Hollywood's hottest trends, perhaps he gave her a vintage engagement ring. More celebrities are opting for this style and walking down the aisle in traditional jewelry – it seems that this style isn't going away any time soon!
 

When you intend to marry a high-profile celebrity, you better have the money to propose with a luxurious ring. According to rumors, that's just what Casper Smart plans to do, according to Entertainmentwise.com.

Smart, who is Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend, is not nearly as wealthy as the singer. However, the news source states that Smart has recently been appointed the "artistic director" of Lopez's upcoming tour, meaning he'll soon be raking in more cash.

Sources close to the couple say that Smart definitely wants to pop the question – all he needs to do now is buy the ring. Smart and Lopez have allegedly been browsing everything from antique engagement rings to vintage-style baubles for months. If an engagement comes to fruition, this will be the fourth marriage for Lopez.

Whether Smart proposes now or later, he might want to take advantages of some of the hottest jewelry trends in Hollywood to wow his bride-to-be. Vintage engagement rings are especially popular at the moment, and this classic style of ring might be just what Smart needs to convince Lopez to say "yes."
