As Twilight celebrates its 15th anniversary, it’s impossible not to reflect on the cultural phenomenon that swept readers and moviegoers alike into a mesmerizing world of romance, vampires, and werewolves.
Stephenie Meyer’s captivating saga, marked by the iconic love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, has left an indelible mark on literature and popular culture. Over the past decade and a half, Twilight has not only become a bestselling book series but also inspired a blockbuster film franchise that further fueled its global appeal.
In ‘Eclipse’ – the third book and film in the series – Edward proposes to Bella with an iconic engagement ring. To celebrate the anniversary of the highly successful film franchise, engagement ring and diamond experts at Steven Stone have taken another look at Bella’s sparkler, revealing everything there is to know…
In the ‘Twilight’ series, Bella’s engagement ring holds significant sentimental value. Described as an exquisite piece, the Victorian inspired domed-oval shaped ring boasts slanting rows of cubic zirconias in a pave style setting, creating an elegant and timeless design. The band appears to be 14k white gold.
Designed by Hollywood jeweller Neil Lane, the ring featured in the films is slightly different to the one described in the books, which still inspires interest and admiration among fans today: “the face was a long oval, set with slanting rows of glittering round stones. The band was gold – delicate and narrow. The gold made a fragile web around the diamonds.”
Bella’s engagement ring from Edward is a tangible representation of the enduring and supernatural romance that defines their love story.
“Bella’s engagement ring is an extravagant Victorian inspired domed-oval shaped white gold ring, which is encrusted with rows of cubic zirconias. In the film, the ring has a constant glittering that matches that of Edward’s skin when he steps into the sunlight.
Representing the couple’s love and eternal bond, the ring oozes with sentiment as it was given to Edward’s Mother by his Father – which explains its out of date and unusual appearance.
Bella’s ring from Edward is incredibly unique. It doesn’t feature any expensive stones, so is likely to carry a value of under £1,000.”
