The BAFTA Awards night was memorable for more than one reason in 2022. Sure, it hailed the contributions to the cinema, but the Loki star Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton, the petite girl from handmaiden’s tale announced their engagement amidst much fanfare from the same platform too. Yes! Ashton revealed the spectacular rock on her finger, making it obvious that the two are now a couple.
The Diamond Pro CEO realized it instantly and informed the world that the pretty bauble appeared to be all of 5 carats and may have been worth at least $150,000.
Well, it has a classic oval diamond in the middle surrounded by a beautiful halo of glittering pavé diamonds that only draws attention to the magnificent center stone. It is a vintage design elevated to new heights for sure. Tom Hiddleston would have taken a lot of time to consider each aspect before designing the engagement ring that has left his lady love pleased indeed.
According to Neil Lane, one of the prominent Hollywood jewelers, this shape and design take us back to the Victorian era when such a design became popular. Lane who is credited to design multiple engagement rings flaunted by top celebs revealed this one to be a traditional flower ring that had held sway in the 19th century. Also known as cluster rings, the colorless appeal of genuine diamonds is brought to the fore when a cluster of stunning small diamonds forms a band of sparkling light around the huge oval bang in the center.
Max Stone, yet another engagement ring specialist looked at the photograph of the ring closely before giving his verdict. While the design had been popular in the Victorian era, the cut was described by Stone to be Edwardian and could be traced back to the 19th century. It embodies femininity and romance, thus making just the ring for popping the question. The gold band upon which the diamond rested could not have been more traditional. Zawe Ashton added to the bling by sporting 8-carat diamond earrings from the Cartier High Jewelry collection.
Hiddleston who happened to be the co-star of Ashton in Betrayal announced that he was happy.
