The Style & Design Of Blake Lively's Engagement Ring
Designed by diamond jewellery designer to the stars, Lorraine Schwartz, the fashion icon was first spotted wearing the large bauble following her secret wedding to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds in 2012. And so naturally many jewellery experts were quick to jump on the scene and reveal all the juicy details about Blake Lively’s ring. Offering up somewhat of a feminine aesthetic, Blake’s diamond engagement ring features a large oval-cut centre stone that is flanked by small pave diamonds along the band. Set in 14-carat rose gold, the ring’s band is quite fine, resulting in the centre diamond having an almost floating appearance. You wouldn’t notice it right away, however, if you look carefully you will see that the diamonds in Blake’s oval engagement ring have the subtlest shade of blush pink, something that naturally complements the rose gold metal in the ring’s setting. The ring’s naturally pink oval-shaped centre diamond is said to be a whopping 12 carats, which explains why it is so easy to spot in all of Blake Lively’s red carpet appearances. Found in only a few corners of the globe, pink diamonds are some of the rarest stones in the world, particularly in this unique blush colour which makes Blake’s pink diamond ring all the more special.
The Cost Of Blake Lively's Engagement Ring
While it is not known whether Ryan Reynolds designed the ring with Lorraine Schwartz or if he simply just picked it out is not known, however, given some of the bespoke details, it is very safe to assume that this was a custom piece. We also can’t imagine someone who is as meticulous with their style as Blake Lively not wanting such a unique diamond ring. Judging by the number of celebrities who opt for coloured diamond engagement rings, you are correct to assume that they do not come cheap and Blake’s oval engagement ring is certainly no exception. Valued at an estimated $2.5 million ($3.7 million Australian Dollars), the oval ring has earned a prestigious moniker of being one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings of all time, beating the likes of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, JLo and Ben Affleck as well as Paris Hilton and Serena Williams. At 12 carats, the sheer size of Blake Lively’s bling is likely to send up the price, however, a lot of this ring’s value has to do with its unique pale pink centre diamond. With one of the rarest hues that a diamond can have, pink diamond jewellery is arguably one of the most expensive with even the smallest amounts of the stone costing tens of thousands.
Blake Lively & Ryan Reynold's Wedding
Following a rather quick courtship not unusual for Hollywood standards, Blake and her partner Ryan Reynolds exchanged wedding rings in an ultra-secret ceremony in September 2012. While not much is known about their nuptials, fans of this genetically blessed pairing did get a sneak peek of their special day when it was covered in Martha Stewart weddings. Taking place in Charleston, South Carolina at the home which served as the main setting for everyone’s favourite romance film, The Notebook, the bride wore a custom lace gown by Marchesa for the occasion. Guests enjoyed a bevvy of locally made cakes and pastries for the rustic style reception and even a private performance by Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine. And while we didn’t get many other details of the nuptials than this, this fiercely private couple are regarded as Hollywood’s golden couple who stole our hearts with their stunning red carpet appearances and hilarious trolling at each other’s expense on social media.
Blake Lively's Wedding & Eternity Rings
With over a decade of marriage under their belts, Blake is often spotted on the red carpet accompanied by her husband not only sporting her incredibly glamorous rose gold engagement ring, but also matching wedding and eternity rings. Adorned with a rose gold setting, the Gossip Girl star’s wedding ring is essentially an extension of the band of her engagement ring complete with a pink pave diamond setting and all. The band itself is incredibly thin to the point that it probably feels weightless, and was likely designed to blend in with the engagement ring’s band so as to not take the spotlight away from it. A few years later, the star was spotted with an additional band that is identical to her wedding ring but then following the birth of her and Ryan’s first child, James added a fourth band to the mix. While it is not known if this is part of the mother of four’s bridal jewellery, this ring is much thicker and features a row of pink brilliant round cut diamonds set in rose gold making the perfect addition to the star's glamourous bridal set. Not a shabby push present if you ask us.
