Lady Gaga has taken the world by storm since she first stepped onto the Hollywood scene. She’s built a reputation for having an Avant Garde style, from wearing a dress draped with meat to a gown completely wrapped in hair, her outfits have blown us away.
Alongside her outrageous outfits, Lady Gaga has also made her mark in the jewellery world. Here at Steven Stone, we love looking at celebrity engagement rings and can’t help but remember her beautiful sparkler from Tyler Kinney.
Taking a trip back to 2015, when she received her first proposal, we’ve taken a look back at her stunning heart shaped engagement ring from the American actor and model that still has us falling head over heels nine years later.
How did Lady Gaga and Tyler meet?
The singer met actor Tyler Kinney in July 2011 on the set of her ‘Yoü & I’ music video. After dating for more than three years, the couple got engaged. Tyler asked Gaga to marry him with a heart shaped diamond on Valentine’s Day 2015 – a gesture of Tyler giving his heart to Gaga.
Although Gaga is known for her extraverted stage personality, the couple celebrated their engagement with a simple, low key meal at the star’s favourite restaurant in New York.
Lady Gaga’s ring
Gaga’s ring from Tyler boasts a 6 carat heart cut diamond in a solitaire setting.
The base of the band, all of which is encrusted with white diamonds, has the letters ‘T’ and ‘S’ with a heart in between that are also set in diamonds. The initials stand for ‘Tylor’ and ‘Stefani’ – Lady Gaga’s real first name. Ordered by the soon to be groom himself, this modification was reportedly Gaga’s favourite part of the ring.
The ring was designed by celebrity jeweller Lorraine Schwartz, who also designed Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring from Kanye West. Creating a perfect heart shaped diamond is not an easy task, as the shoulders of the stone need to be completely symmetrical.
After a close look at the ring, our experts revealed that Gaga’s diamond has a simple setting and underneath all those pave diamonds, the band is platinum. They estimate it to have a value of £500,000.
“In addition to her avant-garde fashion choices, Lady Gaga has left an indelible mark on the world of jewelry. Our fascination with celebrity engagements led us to revisit the striking ring presented to the musician-turned-actress by Tyler Kinney.
Gaga’s engagement ring from Tyler showcases a remarkable 6-carat heart-cut diamond set in a classic solitaire arrangement. The band’s foundation is adorned with a cascade of white diamonds, featuring the letters ‘T’ and ‘S’ with a heart nestled between them, all meticulously set in diamonds. These initials hold special significance, representing ‘Tyler’ and ‘Stefani,’ Lady Gaga’s given first name. Personally commissioned by the soon-to-be groom, this customised touch reportedly became Gaga’s favorite aspect of the ring.
Crafted by renowned celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, the same mastermind behind Kim Kardashian’s iconic engagement ring, the creation of a flawless heart-shaped diamond is no small feat, requiring meticulous attention to ensure perfect symmetry in the stone’s shoulders.
I’d estimate the sparkler to be worth around £500,000.”
