When photos emerged of Blake Lively returning to work on Gossip Girl, the eager snappers struggled to get a photo of her sparkling new ring but she kept the rock well-hidden. Celebuzz.com, however, have published snaps of Blake and her new husband Ryan Reynolds, which were reportedly taken the day after their nuptials in South Carolina. And it's a hell of a diamond that Blake's sporting, too. According to Celebuzz.com, Ryan will have shelled out between $1.2 million and $2 million on Blake's ring.
A leading jeweller confirmed that the ring will have cost around $2 million. "The ring is an oval cut diamond, roughly 12 'carat total weight' (which describes the total weight in carats of all the diamonds in a piece of jewelry) depending on the way it was cut. Depending on clarity and color, I would say at the minimum this retails for $1.2 million, but closer to $2 million," explained Adelaide Polk-Bauman of Forevermark Diamonds. "It looks particularly brilliant." If those figures turn out to be true then it's really no wonder that Lively has decided not to wear the dazzling new accessory to work.
The Blake Lively ring was reportedly designed by the jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. A spokesperson for the jeweler revealed "They worked together to design a custom setting in rose gold and pave diamonds with a nod to deco." Blake Lively married Reynolds on September 9, at the Boone Hall plantation in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
