In August 2021, Sophia Bush revealed that her entrepreneur boyfriend Grant Hughes had popped the question during a romantic boat-ride on Lake Como in Italy.
Sharing the news on Instagram, the ‘One Tree Hill’ star captioned a picturesque photo of the proposal with “So it turns out that being your favorite person’s favorite person is the actual best feeling on planet Earth 💫 #YES” and engagement ring specialists at Steven Stone couldn’t wait to see the ring.
One year later, the couple are hitched and have shared details of their Oklahoma wedding with Vogue.
Enriched in culture, the wedding took place place at the Philbrook Museum of Art. Guests later headed to an after party at Leon Russell’s Church Studio, where Justin Boreta span dance music all night.
Honouring the heritage of the couples families, Sophia’s stunning dress featured a print of flowers from California, Oklahoma, and Italy. She kept her jewellery choices fairly minimal, wearing just a pair of diamond floral earrings from Briony Raymond New York and her engagement ring.
Not only have our experts revealed everything you need to know about Sophia’s wedding ring, but they’ve had another look at her showstopping engagement ring.
“Featuring a 4 carat cushion cut diamond in a six claw setting, placed on an elegant thin gold band, Sophia’s vintage style engagement ring is likely to be worth around £200,000 ($237,000) – making it one of the most expensive celebrity engagement rings that we saw last year. One of the positives of having a six claw setting is that it elevates the centre diamond above the band to showcase the centre stone.
What’s particularly interesting about Sophia’s wedding band is that it was made sustainably by her friend and Fashionkind designer, KATKIM, which is fitting with her passion for activism. Featuring cushion cut diamonds – one of the trendiest cuts – it looks to have a total carat weight of 3.50 carats. I’d estimate its value to be £35,000 ($41,000).
Both Sophia’s engagement ring and wedding band are gorgeous pieces – I’d estimate their combined value to be a staggering £235,000 ($278,000).”
