Well, Johnny himself has now confirmed that the woman's engagement ring he's been wearing is the first one that he gave Amber, which he says didn't fit her finger.  It was too big for her.  I guess he's never heard of having a ring resized.  The ring Johnny is wearing has been estimated to be 3.5 carats.  Amber is wearing the second engagement ring he got her, which by all appearances in photos, has a much larger diamond (estimated at 5 carats) and is much showier and in-your-face noticeable than the first ring.  My gut tells me that the second ring was purchased because she wasn't as impressed as he had hoped with the first ring and she (or they) decided that she needed a larger diamond. The first ring probably didn't meet her high expectations of what she should be receiving from millionaire A-list actor Johnny Depp.  To prove his love for her (and keep her happy), I suppose he just had to go out and buy her a bigger diamond...bigger and more noticeable than many of the other young Hollywood starlets are receiving from the men they're marrying...except for Kim Kardashian's 15 carat gigantic ring from Kanye that cost enough money that it could feed a third world nation.  But then, Kim Kardashian is the absolute queen of self-promotion, self-absorption, greed, being talentless, and vulgar displays of wealth.  She puts Amber to shame in those departments.

I did some research into the carat size of some of the other Hollywood engagement rings.  Many of them are ridiculously large and expensive.  So, obviously, the first ring Johnny bought for Amber which was probably vintage and which I'm sure he thought was absolutely beautiful and unique, has a noticeably smaller diamond than the second ring.  It just couldn't have been up to today's Hollywood standards which seem to dictate the the more you spend on a diamond engagement ring for your girl, the more you must love her and want to show her off to the world.  Of course, let it also be said that the size and cost of an engagement ring says absolutely nothing about how long the relationship will last or if the couple will ever make it to the altar.

I ran into a fashion and style website where they were had an article a few weeks ago and were confused about the photos of Amber's ring in which she appeared to be wearing two different rings.  One other thing that someone there noticed - in the photos of Amber on the red carpet at the 3 Days to Kill premiere - she appears to be wearing foundation make-up on her hand!  That was the first time she and Johnny had done a red carpet together, and the first time she knew photographers were going to be focused in tight on her left hand with the ring.  So she apparently put make-up on her hands to ensure they looked perfect.  The giveaway was that someone noticed there's a streak of foundation on her pointer finger.  Take a look!  The tiny indentation in her skin just above the ring appears to be a scar as it shows up in all the photos of her hand.  It looks like she was trying to cover that up with make-up.

This appears to be a photo of her newer, larger ring and her hands without make-up.
