The 'Baby' singer got down on one knee in the Bahamas at a local restaurant. The pair went public with the news via Instagram, sharing loved-up photos in black and white.

The ring's knockout worth
With a diamond as enormous set on such gorgeous high-quality gold, it is hardly a surprise that Jessica estimates the ring to be worth just over $600,000 (£500,000). The expert calls it a "remarkably precious piece".

Hailey has the Midas touch when it comes to internet trends in the beauty sphere. But is her engagement ring ticking any major bridal trends for 2024?
"The bold cut suits those who are innovative, unique and born leaders," says Nilesh Rakholia, jewellery expert and founder at Abelini. "Oval rings have become one of the most up-and-coming shapes for engagement rings."

Does Hailey's ring have a symbolic significance?
A ring that is bang on trend can also be deeply symbolic and sentimental - as Hailey's proves. Jessica tells us: "The singular stone symbolises the unity and love intrinsic to marriage, representing the merging of two souls in a promise of enduring love.

"Hailey Bieber’s ring is undeniably a remarkable example of the solitaire, with its opulent size, fine metals, and beautifully balanced solo diamond," Jessica concludes.
A gorgeous statement

"The elongated oval shape also creates a flattering silhouette on the finger, elongating the hand and creating a subtle yet impactful statement," Nilesh tells us. "Oval diamonds also often appear larger than other shapes of the same carat weight, offering excellent value for money."
