Congratulations to Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, who is engaged for the third time to ballet dancer and author Melanie Hamrick.
Melanie recently sparked engagement speculation when she was seen out and about wearing a diamond ring on THAT finger, but she insisted that it was a promise ring.
Friends of the couple have since confirmed the engagement, stating that Melanie admitted on a recent trip that she is in fact Mick’s fiance.
Engagement ring and diamond experts at Steven Stone have taken a close look at Melanie’s unique sparkler, revealing everything you need to know…
Melanie’s ring from Mick is an art deco engagement ring, which features an old cut diamond that’s likely to have been cut before the 1930s.
Popular between the 1920s and 1930s across the arts and archietecture, art deco is a specific aesthetic – art deco engagement rings stand out because of their bold, geometric shapes with a large stone centre stone that tends to be framed by uniquely placed smaller diamonds or gemstones.
Associated with the roaring twenties and ‘The Great Gatsby’, art deco jewellery showcases a novel sense of self and rebellious spirit.
Square in shape with gently rounded corners, old cut diamonds epitomize the enduring romance of gifting diamonds, making them a particularly romantic cut.

I’d estimate the antique ring to be worth $100,000.”
