What’s better than one engagement ring? The answer is two engagement rings, and that’s precisely what musician Machine Gun Kelly proposed to actor Megan Fox with in January of 2022.
The engagement ring was custom-designed by Machine Gun Kelly and holds a special meaning for the couple. "I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: The emerald (her birthstone) and the diamond (my birthstone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love," he said in his Instagram caption. The ring is estimated to be worth £249,000 ($340,000).
Italian property tycoon, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, opted for a very classic-looking round-cut diamond flanked by baguettes—an elegant and sensible move considering Beatrice's personal style revolves around sophisticated floral dresses, delicate heels, pretty colours and timeless accessories.
Created through a bespoke service offered by famed British jeweller Shaun Leane, this ring has features both Art Deco and Victorian references, hence it's familiar vintage feel but sparkling-new effect. According to the brand's press release, it was crafted and set by hand from the designer's Mayfair atelier and the diamonds are of the highest clarity and colour, ethically sourced and GIA certified. "Being able to incorporate both Edoardo and Princess Beatrice's characters into the design has resulted in a unique ring that represents their love and lives intertwining," says Leane.
Take one of our favourite recent whoppers of a diamond: Emily Ratajkowski was married back in February of 2018 (you may recall her rather awesome yellow Zara trouser suit chosen instead of a traditional dress), but until now she had been wearing a gold band instead of this two-diamond beauty. Revealed alongside a chunky gold band there is one pear-shaped stone alongside a square, creating a truly unique engagement ring idea we hadn't seen before.
A close-up on Emily's new engagement and wedding rings shows just how unique a combination has been created. Experts speculate that this ring cost somewhere between £40,000 and £73,000.
