Rita Simons has announced that she is engaged to her partner Ben Harlow. She’s been dating the producer since 2020.
The ‘EastEnders’ star shared the exciting news to her Instagram over the weekend, posting a series of intimate photos of the couple in the warmth and privacy of their home.
Naturally, engagement ring experts at UK jeweller Steven Stone couldn’t help but be captivated by the stunning sparkler adorning Rita’s finger. After a closer inspection, Maxwell Stone has provided a detailed analysis of the beautiful ring.
“Rita couldn’t have looked happier in the photos accompanying her engagement announcement, and who could blame her with that stunning ring on her finger?
Ben proposed with a striking 1-carat oval-cut diamond set in a halo design. The diamond’s brilliance is further enhanced by the delicate diamond shoulders, which add to its captivating sparkle.
Known for their fire and brilliance, oval shaped diamonds are a favourite among many. Their elongated form symbolises the enduring length of a relationship, making them a deeply meaningful choice.
Based on its size and design, I’d estimate the ring’s value to be around $10,000 – quite modest when compared to other celebrity engagement rings. In fact, our recent study found the average celebrity engagement ring in 2024 to be worth at £130,230.”
