We love engagement ring details here at Hollywood Crush. So, as soon as we heard that Joel Madden had popped the question to Nicole Richie, we automatically wanted to know all about the ring. Who designed? How big is it? Where can we get one?
Anyway, Nicole was Spotted! with her ring at her Winter Kate show last night, and we've since done a little digging around and gotten some major details about the major bling. A rep for Neil Lane told Hollywood Crush the round stone ring is made up of 4 carats, and the band is platinum and diamond. That "octagon" shape around the main stone is also comprised of diamonds, and as it turns out, Nicole wanted to be involved the design process and worked directly with Neil on her new accessory.
New of the pair's engagement broke earlier this week after Joel announced and then deleted the news on his Twitter page — nearly scooping wife-to-be Nicole's chat with David Letterman during her appearance on the show. She eventually spilled the beans to Letterman and now it seems all is right in the world. We imagine that their adorable kids Harlow and Sparrow are excited for their mom and dad!
And while the pair has apparently been engaged for a while, they have their friends to thank for not dishing to the tabloids. "P.S. That's why I love my family and friends," Joel tweeted (in another deleted post). "None of them are sources. All good tight-lipped people who let us enjoy it! Thanks, everybody."
What do you think of Nicole's ring?
