‘The Holiday’ star Rufus Sewell has kicked off the festive season by popping the question to his girlfriend, Vivian Benitex.
Though they’ve only made a handful of public appearances together, the couple have reportedly been dating for two years.
On the evening of 5th December, Vivian announced the happy news on her Instagram by uploading two photos – one of Rufus kissing her on the cheek while she flaunts her engagement ring and another that offers a close up of the sparkler. The caption read: “Till death (or him continuing to walk on bathmats with his outside shoes) do us part”.
Here at Steven Stone, we love a celebrity engagement – and our diamond experts couldn’t wait to take a closer look at the new bling on Vivian’s finger.
“Rufus Sewell kicked off the festive season by popping the question to his girlfriend Vivian Benitex. ‘The Holiday’ star gifted the actress with an elegant ring that boasts a 1.25ct round cut diamond in a solitaire setting, sat on a yellow gold band.
“Known for their brilliance and adaptability, round cut diamonds stand out as the top preference for engagement rings. The circular shape of the diamond is symbolic of an enduring and seamless connection between two people. Vivian joins a wealth of celebrities who wear a round cut diamond engagement ring – including Charli XCX, who announced her engagement to George Daniel just last week, showing off her 1ct round cut diamond that’s also in a solitaire setting.
I’d estimate Vivian’s ring from Rufus to be worth £8,000 ($10,000). In our recent study, we found that the average value of a celebrity engagement ring in 2023 was £289,900 – thus, Vivian’s sparkler carries an incredibly modest price tag in comparison.”
