‘Vampire Diaries’ star Paul Wesley and his longtime girlfriend, Natalie Kuckenburg, are officially engaged!
The couple, who have been together for nearly three years, shared the exciting news following a romantic proposal during a recent trip to Italy, where Paul popped the question in a picture-perfect moment.
On 19th July, Natalie took to Instagram to post a timeless black-and-white photo of the pair holding hands – her sparkling new engagement ring proudly on display. She simply captioned it: “Yes … Always and forever.”
Fine jewellery experts at UK retailer Steven Stone were quick to weigh in on the impressive diamond, sharing all of the dazzling details.
“Natalie’s engagement ring from Paul is a true statement of elegance and meaning. It features a breathtaking 5-carat oval-cut diamond, a shape often associated with longevity and eternal love – fitting for a couple stepping into forever together.
Set in a classic and timeless solitaire design, the ring allows the diamond to take centre stage, symbolising the singular, unshakable bond they share. The stone is mounted on a delicate, slim band that adds a touch of refined sophistication, perfectly balancing simplicity with impact. Slim engagement ring bands have come under scrutiny recently, with Lauren Sánchez’s striking sparkler igniting debate over their durability and whether such delicate designs can truly stand the test of time.
Given the exceptional size, quality, and sentiment behind the ring, I’d estimate its value at around $250,000 – but for them, of course, its true worth goes far beyond the price tag.”
