Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom - engagement ring

[mrs-b]

Apparently the pair were engaged on Valentine's day and this photo appeared on Perry's instagram page that day. I'm assuming this stunner is the engagement ring. Nice to see someone do something different. Love it!

Gorgeous!!!

Wow!,

 

[Matata]

another pic. The one he gave Miranda Kerr is quite similar only it's all diamonds and white metal. Seems as though he's fond of the flower in bloom theme

I don't love the color of the center stone, but I like seeing some yellow gold now and then!

According to the Daily Mail. Andrew Brown, President, WP Diamonds told E! News.'Katy's ring would retail in the range of $5 million.
I love the ring but am wondering if the amount it's worth hasn't been wildly exaggerated. The sum is based on the assumption that the main stone is a diamond. I know it's difficult to tell from pictures but is it more likely a ruby or pink sapphire?

@Polished Pitching Holly Wood to the Daily Mail is a local tradition.

It looks more like a pinkish Ruby than a diamond, and rubies have been perfectly acceptable engagement ring stone for ages. I don't know why tabloids have to post these wild estimates of celebrity e rings.

 

[tkyasx78]

The ring isn’t my favorite style or stone but I am glad she is happy! She seems like a nice person and I hope she finds a lifetime of happiness!!

 

[Snowdrop13]

I read somewhere that it’s vintage, which is cool! I think it really suits her although maybe not practical for every day wear.

Another flower - she copied me!

Penelope Cruz has a similar one. I swoon over hers:

[Tekate]

not my style at all.. no flowers for me.. but I do appreciate all the flower rings, it would just be too much for my old fingers. I hope this marriage works for them. I hope the red stone is a sapphire, or maybe a ruby.. 5 million? no way.. they seem a good fit! love sapphires, I really like the ring of the princess Beatrice? or the other one not sure, but it's a pink stone... I really love that ring and I am not a pink person!

 

[mrs-b]

I think it's a ruby. Wrong faceting entirely for a diamond.

 

[bludiva]

That 5m figure is probably someone just trying to get quoted in the news. looks like a lovely vintage ring but not nearly that expensive.

 

[partgypsy]

Yeah. The ring is not my cup of tea but the groom is! So I would have said yes even if it was one of those rings made out if a spoon.

 

[facetgirl]

I thought I was alone in not loving this ring as an engagement ring. Very pretty for a cocktail ring but there is something about the proportions that is throwing me off. That Penelope Cruz one, swoon. I think the diamonds are smaller in the PC one which appeals to me.

 

[Jazzybling]

Gorgeous ring! It looks like a ruby to me! $5 million? What a joke...

 

[LinSF]

I think they're a good looking couple. And the ring is unique, which I love to see!

 

[strawrose]

What’s throwing me off is that he gave both fiancés the same style of ring.

 

[LinSF]

I can see why he did that! Our aesthetic preferences don't change from relationship to relationship, at least from my observation. Just like our personalities are the same, and you'd be hard pressed to find someone who *really dynamically* changes/shifts who they are over a lifetime.

For me, I have a love affair with Emerald cut diamonds. Was gifted a gorgeous engagement ring the first time around, less than gorgeous marriage. This time around I'm still drawn to Emerald cuts... and might have picked one again if I didn't discover the love of precisely cut stones (nerd alert). What would have been weird was reusing the ring and/or stones IMO. The style is just a preference I think.

I'm laughing... glad I have such an opinion about someone else's ring! Lol. Such is life as a Pricescoper!

Love the rings in your avatar @LinSF

@Calliecake

Thank you, that's set No. 1. Currently listed with JbG. Waiting on set No. 2.

No way it’s a pink diamond, so no way it’s worth $5 million. Besides, he’s not that rich - he did a few movies sure but both Miranda and Katy would have more of their own $$$$ in their bank accounts.
I’d put my money on it being a pink sapphire, nice size diamond halo though and I think it’s actually an antique ring.

 

[luv2sparkle]

I thought it was pretty but it seems more like a right hand ring than an e ring, although I know colored stones are popular. I think it’s more about the style of it. But, I’m sure that’s just me.

I don’t think it’s worth 5 million either. Someone want you to believe that, but really it looks like it could be had for less than 10k to me.

 

[partgypsy]

I also don't see how that ring goes with her personal style, other than it has color. I think a big yellow diamond in a cool geometric setting would suit her better. Perhaps Orlando should have visited Pricescope?

 

[MamaBee]

She may have faced what a lot of women face when given a ring chosen by the husband or wife without asking first. An upgrade may happen after the wedding.

 

[HS4S_2]

I love it. Though, I love different shapes and non classic rings. I think it goes with her personality .

Apparently the pair were engaged on Valentine's day and this photo appeared on Perry's instagram page that day. I'm assuming this stunner is the engagement ring. Nice to see someone do something different. Love it!

 

[MaisOuiMadame]

This is a typical ering where I am (conservative part of France). They call it pompadour style (CS and diamond halo). I know several women who have those rings. One has a TDF Ruby (hg colour, true antique) with prong set diamonds and I'd even think hers is a tad larger (both center and halo stones) . So the 5m would be overpaying by a LOT.



I'd personally not be too happy to receive a ring very similar to my fiancées ex wife... Just because his name is bloom he seems to stick to a bloom style. But I'd be p'od about the lack of thought. You can find zillions of bloom inspired settings... Sorry for the rant



ETA: didn't read all the comments before answering .. I was just ranting away... I not replying to anyone (@LinSF your reasoning makes perfect sense too)

 

[msop04]

Hmmm... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in this ring. I like it fine for a RHR, but it just doesn't do it for me at all as an ering. He's been engaged a few times... we'll see how long this lasts. #DebbieDowner #sorrynotsorry #preggohormones LOL
