Lily Collins’ Engagement Ring Via Instagram @lilyjcollins
The perfect ring for an English rose.
Congratulations to actor Lily Collins and writer-director Charlie McDowell on their engagement! Lily and Charlie announced their engagement on Instagram last week after a proposal that took place on a mountain hike in New Mexico. The naturally beautiful setting was an ideal backdrop for Lily’s completely unique engagement ring.
Lily’s ring hosts a one-of-a-kind cushion shaped rose cut diamond bezel set in a textured gold ring featuring tapered shoulders that mimic a classic split shank ring setting. Rose cut diamonds and gemstones are a somewhat antique style with old world charm. Gemstones cut in this style have distinctive faceting that appeals to many, but they are also cut in a way that prioritizes clarity over sparkle or brilliance – leading to a slightly glassy or crystalline look.
Bezel settings like Lily’s are an increasingly popular choice because it is the most secure way to set a diamond or gemstone. Unlike traditional rings where the center gem is held in by prongs, bezel settings wrap precious metal completely around the center gem to hold it securely in place.
