Congratulations are in order for former footballer, Peter Crouch and model, Abbey Clancy, who have renewed their wedding vows after 11 years of marriage.
The idyllic Maldives beach ceremony took place over the festive period with only their loved ones in attendance.
Abbey shared a photo of the group enjoying the sun and an array of cocktails to her Instagram story, alongside the caption: ‘fam’.
With the couple more loved up than ever, engagement ring and fine jewellery experts at Steven Stone took the opportunity to look at Abbey’s dazzling engagement ring.
The former footballer and model first said “I Do” in 2011, at the Stapleford Park Hotel in Leicestershire.
Peter proposed to Abbey with a shoulder set ring that features a 4 carat pear shaped diamond, with a matching diamond band.
Responsible for additional sparkle, shoulder set rings are designed to accent the wearers choice of centre stone – ensuring that it’s as eye catching as possible.
Pear shaped diamonds are a great choice for engagement rings as they are simple and classic. Pear shaped diamonds are an incredibly advantageous cut. Responsible for bringing a feminine and elongated quality to the wearers finger, the droplet shape of the pear also makes it an ideal choice for pendants and earrings and is said to represent an emotional bond or connection.
Cher recently had everybody talking when she shared a photo of a huge pear shaped diamond ring to her four million followers on Twitter. Rumours of her engagement to her partner, Alexander Edwards, have been circulating ever since.
Another celebrity who sports a pear shaped diamond is Victoria Beckham, who has racked up a collection of 15 engagement rings since her husband, David, first proposed in 1998 – one of which featured a pear shaped diamond that clocks in somewhere between a jaw-dropping 15 and 17 carats.
Peter and Abbey aren’t the first celebrity couple to have renewed their vows. The most recent A-Listers to reaffirm their enduring love for one another are Rochelle and Marvin Humes, who renewed their vows in front of 75 family and close friends last July, ten years to the day that they first became husband and wife in a star studded-wedding at Oxfordshire’s grand Blenheim Palace.
“Whenever Abbey shares a photo to Instagram, we can never take our eyes off her dazzling engagement ring – with the news that her and Peter have renewed their vows, it was the perfect opportunity for us to take a closer look at the sparkler.
Abbey’s shoulder set ring from Peter appears to feature a 4 carat pear shaped diamond with a matching diamond band. Though shoulder set rings are a twist on a classic, Peter made a timeless and romantic choice with the pear shaped diamond as the droplet shape is said to represent an emotional bond or connection.
Peter and Abbey aren’t the first A-List couple to have renewed their vows recently – last July, Rochelle and Marvin Humes reaffirmed their enduring love for one another in front of 75 family and close friends, ten years to the day that they first became husband and wife.
I’d estimate Abbey’s engagement ring from Peter to be worth £100,000.”
