Famous Engagement Rings: Jacky O and JFK

Senator John F. Kennedy proposed to Ms. Jacqueline Bouvier on Wednesday, June 24, 1953 - two years after they've met.  John Kennedy's father, Joe Sr. had picked out this Van Cleef And Arpels engagement ring:

One 2.88 carat diamond is mounted next to a 2.84 carat emerald with tapered baguettes.  

The couple were married on September 12, 1953 at St. Mary's Church in Newport, Rhode Island in front of 750 guests (and an additional 3,000 outside the Church hoping to catch a glimpse).

Jacqueline's dress was made by Ann Lowe and the couple danced to their first song, "I Married an Angel" during the reception at the Auchincloss waterside estate, Hammersmith Farm.

Love,
