Duggar Engagement Rings Through the Years: A Photo Guide of Their Bling
Updated May 10 2023, 2:26 p.m. ET
Between TLC's 19 Kids & Counting and Counting On, fans of the Duggar family have watched many of Michelle and Jim Bob's 19 children enter into courtships, walk down the aisle, and start families of their own. The details, however, tend to get a bit fuzzy after a while. So let's take a look back at all of the Duggar engagement rings through the years — because each one is gorgeous in a special way.
Anna Duggar
Jim Bob and Michelle's first child to pop the question was Josh when he proposed to Anna. Although the eldest of their 19 children was eventually kicked off the TLC reality show — after two different scandals came to light — his engagement to Anna began in the typical fashion: with a ring. Josh presented Anna with a .5 carat diamond ring set on a white gold band.
They tied the knot in September 2008 and have seven children: Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith, Mason, and Maryella, and Madyson.
Jill Duggar
Jill and Derick Dillard officially got engaged on March 29, 2014 — and the camera crew was there to capture it all for 19 Kids & Counting. Derick ended up giving Jill a .63-carat diamond solitaire set in a white-gold band that he'd custom designed. "I shared how much I loved her, how I couldn't imagine life without her, and I asked her, 'Will you marry me?'" Derick told People at the time.
Jill and Derick married in June 2014 and now have three sons together, Israel, Samuel, Frederick.
Jessa Duggar
In August 2014, Ben Seewald gave Jessa a custom-designed engagement ring that featured an interlocking band — and she didn't hesitate to share the details via Instagram. "My beautiful engagement ring!" she captioned the post. ".75 carat diamond--18 karat gold band. Gorgeous!"
Jess and Ben walked down the aisle that November. They currently have four children, Spurgeon, Henry, Ivy, and Fern.
Jinger Duggar
Jeremy Vuolo picked out an engagement ring with the help of his brother-in-law, Ben Seewald. Jinger's engagement ring features a cathedral setting and is reportedly .75 carats.
"Jeremy definitely did amazing on the ring that he picked out for me," she said while grinning from ear to ear and displaying her new bling, during an episode of Counting On.
They ended up marrying in November 2016 and currently have two daughters, Felicity and Evangeline.
Joy-Anna Duggar
Austin Forsyth proposed to Joy-Anna in March 2017. He did so with a more complicated engagement ring — which included side stones — than her sisters' suitors. Like many Duggars before her, Joy-Anna didn't waste any time walking down the aisle with Austin; they married in May 2017.
These days, they have one son, Gideon, one daughter, Evelyn, and a baby boy on the way.
Kendra Duggar
Although Kendra hasn't posted any close-ups of her bling, the engagement ring from Joseph appears to be a more-complicated ring that includes a band studded with diamonds. Joe proposed to Kendra at Joy-Anna and Austin's wedding — with his sister's permission, of course.
They married in September 2017 and have two children: a son, Garrett, and a daughter, Addison.
Lauren Duggar
The engagement ring Josiah picked out for his wife, Lauren, has been one of the most unique Duggar choices yet. When Josiah popped the question in March 2018, Lauren received a square-cut diamond that appeared to be set in multiple bands.
The lovebirds tied the knot that June, and they currently share one daughter, Bella.
Abbie Duggar
Speaking of unique engagement rings, Abbie and John David got engaged in July 2018 — and her ring is simply stunning. The band is lined with diamonds — and the main, large diamond is also lined with diamonds. Then again, John David married relatively later in life than most of his other siblings, so he had longer to save up for an expensive engagement ring. (Get a closer look at Abbie's gorgeous ring in this slideshow.)
John David and Abbie married in November 2018 and have a daughter, Grace, and a son, Charlie.
Jed and Katey Duggar
Jed and Katey Nakatsu announced they married in April 2021 without having made a public engagement announcement. We later learned the proposal happened that February — and have since gotten glimpses of Katey's engagement ring via Instagram. Her ring features a diamond set in a rose gold band that appears to fit into her wedding band.
They went on to welcome a baby boy they named Truett Oliver Duggar on May 2, 2022, and are expecting a daughter in May 2023.
Jeremiah and Hannah Duggar
Jeremiah Duggar and Hannah Wissmann got engaged in January 2022. For the engagement, Jer gave Hannah a ring that features three diamonds and a gold band. They got married on March 27, 2022, and currently have one daughter, Brynley.
Justin Duggar and Claire Spivey
Justin Duggar and Claire Spivey got engaged on Nov. 5, 2020, after he popped the question with a ring featuring a princess-cut diamond. (Some have likened the shape of the band and cut of the diamond to that of Justin's sister Jessa's ring.) The lovebirds went on to say, "I do," just three months later on Feb. 26, 2021.
And there you have it: All of the Duggar engagement rings so far. Each ring has been unique and perfectly-suited to the bride.
It'll be interesting to see which Duggar is the next to walk down the aisle, along with what ring they end up choosing!
