Jackie Kennedy's Rings: Where Are They Now?

Jackie Kennedy received three engagement rings throughout her life. Her first, from John G. Husted Jr. in 1951, was reportedly a sapphire and diamond ring that she returned. Later, John F. Kennedy proposed in June 1953 with a distinct toi et moi ring from Van Cleef & Arpels.

This JFK ring featured a 2.88-carat diamond and a 2.84-carat emerald, inspired by Napoleon's proposal ring. In 1962, the ring was reset by Van Cleef & Arpels to include additional diamonds. After Jackie's death in 1994, this treasured piece became part of her estate and now resides at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston.

Years after JFK's assassination, Jackie married Aristotle Onassis in October 1968. Onassis proposed with a stunning 40-carat marquise diamond, the Lesotho III, purchased from Harry Winston. This opulent ring was sold by Sotheby's in April 1996 for $2.58 million to an unidentified buyer, leaving its current location a mystery.

Appraised at $600,000, the 40-carat diamond ring was purchased by Albert and Felice Lippert on behalf of a "dear friend." Since then, its whereabouts have been unknown, adding to the intrigue surrounding Jackie O.'s legendary jewelry collection.
