Sophia Tuxford is engaged – and we’re not just swooning over her stunning diamond, but the fact she’s finally introduced her partner to the world.
The British fashion and lifestyle influencer, known for her popular TikTok and YouTube content, took to Instagram to share the happy news with her followers.
Sophia and her now-fiancé Brian have kept their relationship largely out of the spotlight, making the engagement reveal all the more special. In a series of sun-soaked snaps, Brian is seen for the first time on her feed, with the romantic proposal seemingly taking place over morning coffee with a breathtaking sea view.
Eagle-eyed jewellery experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have taken a closer look at Sophia’s sparkler – and shared their thoughts on the show-stopping ring.
“Sophia’s engagement ring showcases a stunning 2.5-carat oval-cut yellow diamond set in a timeless solitaire design, complimented by a slim yellow gold band for a refined, modern touch.
Oval-cut diamonds remain one of the most sought-after shapes among celebrities, thanks to their elongated silhouette that flatters the finger and creates the illusion of a larger stone. Just this past weekend, Paul Wesley proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Natalie Kuckenburg, with a breathtaking 5-carat oval-cut diamond – further cementing the cut’s popularity.
While coloured diamonds are growing in popularity, fancy yellow diamonds remain significantly rarer than traditional colourless stones, making Sophia’s ring a truly special choice. She joins a select group of celebrities who’ve embraced the vibrant hue – most notably Paris Hilton, whose iconic 24-carat emerald-cut canary diamond from Paris Latsis, previously valued by us at $4.7 million, remains one of the most famous yellow diamond rings to date.
By comparison, I’d estimate the value of Sophia’s elegant sparkler to be around $60,000.”
