This Engagement Ring Is Practically A Dupe Of Kim Kardashian's $8 Million Stunner
This will inspire brides-to-be everywhere.
Kim Kardashian’s approach to fashion has always been one to turn heads. With appearances at the Met Gala — including the iconic Givenchy floral print gown from her first and the dramatic "wet” dress by Mugler from her last — and coordinated Balmain looks with her siblings under her belt, the second oldest Kardashian sister knows how to make a headline. So naturally, when she got engaged in 2013, the A-list star did just that. While there’s no doubt that part of the media frenzy around Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring had to do with its size, there’s something about its timeless style that’ll always inspire brides-to-be everywhere.
Though Kardashian has donned some statement-making looks throughout the years — many of which have taken on the trends of the time — the 39-year-old entrepreneur’s choice for an engagement ring feels much more classic. Kardashian’s now-husband Kanye West proposed with an $8 million cushion-cut ring, which also happened to be a present for her 33rd birthday, by Lorraine Schwartz. The design puts the 15-carat diamond front and center in a four-prong setting with a delicate pavé band to create a floating illusion. According to BRIDES, Schwartz claimed that Kardashian's ring featured the “perfect cushion cut diamond” — and when a celebrity jewelry designer says that, you know it’s a quality piece.
