Jackie Kennedy’s two best-known engagement rings have different documented histories. Her ring from John F. Kennedy is reported to be housed at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, though an official collection record confirming that specific holding was not located. Her later ring from Aristotle Onassis was sold at Sotheby’s in 1996; its present whereabouts are not publicly established by the sources reviewed.
Where the two rings are reported to be now
| Ring | What is known about its location |
|---|---|
| John F. Kennedy’s ring | A 2026 Diamond Collective feature reports that it is housed at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. The specific holding was not confirmed by an official library collection record, and the report does not establish that it is on public display. |
| Aristotle Onassis’s ring | Sold at Sotheby’s in New York in 1996 to a buyer identified as Anthony J. F. O’Reilly. The reviewed sources do not establish its present location or any later transfer. |
John F. Kennedy’s diamond-and-emerald ring
The ring Jackie received from John F. Kennedy is described as a Van Cleef & Arpels toi et moi design: two central stones set together, a 2.88-carat emerald-cut diamond and a 2.84-carat emerald. Those weights are specifications reported by The Diamond Collective in 2026, attributed to jeweler Lauren DeYoung; they are not presented as independent gem-laboratory findings.
The same feature says Van Cleef & Arpels redesigned the ring in 1962, adding marquise-cut stones and round brilliant diamonds around the original pair. It reports the ring is housed at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. Without an official object record confirming the item, that location should be treated as secondary reporting rather than a verified current custody record.
Aristotle Onassis’s 40.42-carat diamond ring
Jackie’s later engagement ring from Aristotle Onassis was a single 40.42-carat marquise diamond known as Lesotho III. Sotheby’s sold it in New York on April 24, 1996, for $2,587,500. The Los Angeles Times reported that Sotheby’s appraisers had valued it at $600,000 before the auction. Those figures describe the 1996 sale and estimate, not a current valuation.

On auction day, press coverage said Albert and Felice Lippert had bid for an unnamed friend. An Associated Press report republished by the Los Angeles Times the following day identified the buyer as Irish food executive Anthony J. F. O’Reilly, who bought the ring for his wife, Chryss Goulandris O’Reilly. That identifies the 1996 purchaser and intended recipient, but does not establish who holds the ring today.
