Just a few days ago, heiress-turned-reality-star-turned-DJ-turned-perfumer Paris Hilton announced that Chris Zylka had proposed, and that she “said Yas.” You hardly needed Instagram’s zoom feature to get a look at the engagement ring: It’s as sparkly and over-the-top as Hilton’s most iconic fashion. (We’re talking about the woman who pioneered the silver party dress and bedazzled sweatsuits in the early-aughts, after all.) Still, Hilton has been making sure we give the diamond ring the attention it deserves by posting multiple shots of it on social media.
According to People, Hilton’s engagement ring is valued at nearly $2 million, and features a 20-carat pear-shaped diamond. (For comparison: The cushion-cut diamond ring Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian in 2013, which is also estimated to be worth $2 million, was 15 carats.) The center stone is set in a platinum band decked with an additional two carats of diamonds.
Hilton’s new fiancé helped celebrity jeweler Michael Green design the ring, per People, and it came together in only two days. The pear-shaped diamond was Zylka’s idea, inspired by another massive rock in the Hilton family: a ring worn by Paris’s mother.
“The ring was so gorgeous and sparkling,” Hilton told People after announcing the engagement. “I was shaking as I put it on. It is the most beautiful ring that I have ever seen!”
Sentimental though the design may be, it’s also just plain attention-getting. And true to most OTT celebrity engagement rings, Twitter users had a lot of thoughts concerning Hilton’s new bling. As one tweet put it,”Paris Hilton’s engagement ring is bigger and brighter than my future.” (Which, same.)
If Hilton’s sparkler reminds you of rapper Cardi B.’s similarly massive engagement ring, you’re not alone. It’s true that both jewels are large, teardrop-shaped, and beyond sparkly. But Paris had pretty much the best response to all comparisons (and to any accusations of copying): “Our future hubby’s obviously both have amazing & similar taste,” she tweeted in reply to a side-by-side edit of their two rings.
“#RingGoals” definitely applies, Paris—even if it calls for fingerless gloves in the snow.
