A huge congratulations are in order for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, who have renewed their wedding vows!
Having met on the set of John’s music video for ‘Stereo’ in 2006, the couple fell in love over the phone and had a legal wedding at a courthouse in New York City on 10th September 2013. They later had a more lavish ceremony in Lake Como, Italy.
To celebrate their anniversary, the singer and model returned to the idyllic destination and reaffirmed their commitment to each other during a romantic ceremony over the weekend.
Engagement ring experts at Steven Stone have taken another look at the HUGE diamond ring that John proposed to Chrissy with, which sparkles as bright as their love.
According to our leading diamond expert, Zack Stone, Chrissy’s engagement ring from John features a 5-6 carat cushion cut diamond centre stone – a popular diamond shape that offers a combo of elegant style, brilliant sparkle, and great value.
Cushion cut diamonds are a popular choice for engagement rings because they have a unique shape that combines vintage charm and modern flair. Chrissy’s in good company and other celebrities sporting the shape include Jessica Biel, who received a 6 carat cushion cut diamond engagement ring from Justin Timberlake.
One of the oldest diamond shapes, dating back to the 19th century, cushion cut diamonds are highly symbolic and said to symbolise an eternal love that was meant to be.
Chrissy’s diamond is at on a pave diamond band, which creates an illusion of continuous sparkle.
“John wrote one of his most romantic song – ‘All For You’ – about Chrissy, so it comes as no surprise that he proposed with an incredibly symbolic ring.
Chrissy’s engagement ring features a 5-6 carat cushion cut diamond. An antique cut with a square shape and rounded sides, cushion cut diamonds symbolise an eternal love that was meant to be. Although cushions cut aren’t as brilliant as round cuts, they have a greater fire, thus will display more bright colors from within the stone when viewed at different angles.
The huge diamond is sat on a pave diamond band, which means that the shank of the ring is lined with small diamonds that add grandeur and depth to its shine.
I’d estimate Chrissy’s engagement ring from John to be worth $150-200k, depending on the quality of the diamond.“
