Blake married Ryan Reynolds on August 31, 2012, but the sneakily private couple kept most of their prior relationship under wraps.

What style setting is Blake Lively’s engagement ring?

Blake’s engagement ring is a solitaire pavé band in 14k rose gold. Blake Lively is widely regarded as the first big celebrity to rock a rose gold engagement ring, setting a huge bridal trend into motion.

The beauty of pavé settings is that they can be added to almost any ring style and instantly make them much more visually impressive.

A plain solitaire setting relies on the center stone to do all of the impressing on its own. By adding pavé to the band, the ring will instantly catch the light and sparkle from any angle, making it much more dazzling.

Not that Blake’s center stone needs much help in this department!

What shape is Blake Lively’s engagement ring diamond?

Blake Lively’s center diamond is a flawless, light pink oval-cut.

Once again, Blake is right on top of the trends. Oval diamond engagement rings are an increasingly popular choice for those who want all the benefits of a dazzling round brilliant, but looking for something just a little bit different.

They also ‘face up’ large for their carat weight, which means that they look larger than a round diamond:

As you may have noticed, Blake’s diamond is unique even for an oval; it’s pink! A very, very light pink, but pink nonetheless.

Pink diamonds are among the rarest colored diamonds in the world, along with natural violet, red, and blue. Less than 0.01% of all diamond carats mined are quality pink diamonds.

Pink diamonds are found in a range of colours, from light pink to more vivid and intense hues:

Due to their rarity and their beautiful color they are priced fairly high; significantly higher than say, more common brown or yellow colored diamonds.

How many carats is Blake Lively’s engagement ring?

Blake Lively’s center stone is a staggering 12 carats. It is also said to be flawless in clarity.

Even under a microscope, a trained jeweler wouldn’t be able to see any flaws at all.

Flawless diamonds are very rare, especially at a significant size – most jewelers don’t even have them on the books.

Where is Blake Lively’s engagement ring from?

Ryan Reynolds worked closely with celebrity jeweler and close personal friend of Blake’s, Lorraine Schwartz. A spokesperson for Schwartz said that it was of particular importance to craft a design that would look good on Blake’s petite finger.

When asked about her involvement in the engagement ring design process Blake stated, “No, I didn’t have any hand in its design—I married a gentleman.”

How much did Blake Lively’s engagement ring cost? And what’s it really worth?!

Blake Lively’s engagement ring cost Ryan Reynolds a whopping $2 million. Not only is her center diamond 12 carats, it’s also an incredibly rare flawless light pink stone! 

Just as a point of reference this pink diamond from my recommended retailer for colored diamonds Leibish, costs $79,300 and is under a carat with a poor quality grade.

Finding a more affordable pink diamond

While a natural pink diamond may be out of most peoples’ budgets, lab created pink diamonds are much more affordable and are easier to find in shades of pink similar to Blake’s:

Something to know is that lab created diamonds are chemically identical to diamonds formed in the earth – they are created using the same intense heat and pressure as ‘natural’ diamonds and are in no way ‘fake’.

Each pink diamond is individual, so the range of pink diamonds is constantly changing – you can find a good selection to review here – just use the dropdown menus to select ‘pink’.

If you don’t have a spare $2 million lying around, it’s is entirely possible to get an engagement ring inspired by Blake without breaking the bank!

This slim rose gold 14k rose gold pavé band mimicks Blake Lively’s engagement ring style perfectly, with the oval center stone is held in place by four sturdy prongs:

What I particularly like about the ring above is that there are two different carat weights for the diamonds set into the band, which changes the price – allowing you to tailor it to fit your budget.

Paired with a light pink lab created diamond, you’ll have a ring as close as possible to Blake’s, without needing to spend $2million!
