Lady Gaga's Engagement Ring

Ah, the eccentric and often controversial Lady Gaga. It's hard to believe that such an outrageous diva would ever agree to something as normal as getting engaged. But she did just that when her steady boyfriend of four years proposed.

Lady Gaga surprised and delighted her fans (her “monsters" as she affectionately calls them) by getting engaged on February 14th 2015. She and beau Chicago Fire star Taylor Kinney are obviously hopeless romantics. The stunning engagement ring Taylor helped design for Lady Gaga further proves this. He collaborated with celebrity jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz on this fabulous engagement ring for his sweetheart.

First and foremost, the ring sports a dazzling, 6 carat heart-shaped diamond. But that romantic choice is equally matched by a unique surprise on the back of the band. Taylor had Lorraine Schwartz incorporate the letters “T" and “S" with a heart in between them for “Taylor loves Stefani." (Why not “G" for Gaga? Because the diva's real first name is Stefani.)

The whole band is bedecked with diamonds: their initials; the heart between them; even the prongs holding amazing center diamond. This dazzling engagement ring is a blatant display of their love for each other. Gaga was obviously elated (and still is) with the ring. She wasted no time posing with it on for social media upon the engagement.

Lady Gaga wasn't always the bold, confident stage persona she is now. She was ruthlessly bullied by other kids growing up because she was so different. She felt like a monster at times. Now, through a charity started with her mother, Lady Gaga helps instill self-worth in others who are different, too. She also sponsors a number of other charities. It's obvious her big heart inspired Taylor Kinney to present her with the sensational heart-shaped diamond engagement ring she so cherishes.

Here are the specifics on Lady Gaga's ring:

• Center Stone: 6.00 carat heart shaped diamond near with perfect symmetry.
• Accent Stones: Pave set diamonds encircling the entire band and adorning the center stone prongs.
• Metal: Platinum
• Ring Estimated Cost: $400,000 to $500,000+
