Official: Liam Hemsworth and Gabriella Brooks are engaged!
The 29-year-old model took her to Instagram on Friday, September 12th, revealing that the 35-year-old actor from Hunger Games had recently proposed to her in a stunning ring.
The carousel post featured black and white photographs of Brooks and Hemsworth pose against a lush background. The model wrapped her arm around Hemsworth’s shoulder, allowing the diamond ring on her left ring finger to be a perfect view of the camera.
The final photo of the Carousel Post features a close-up of Brooks’ ring. It looks like a true antique cushion or an old mine cut (diamond). It is set on a vibrant yellow gold band, according to Keegan Fisher, co-founder of jewelry brand Frank Darling.
From the possible carat sizes to estimates, there’s everything you need to know about Gabriella Brooks engagement rings.
The cost of the ring is estimated to be $150,000
Fisher told people that Brooks’ engagement rings look like about 4.5-5 carats, but antique stones tend to carry a lot of depth to the bottom of the diamond, and the carat weighs less, which could make them even bigger.” He estimated the ring to be worth $150,000.
The ring is furthermore “east and west of the bezel set” in yellow gold, and “a growth trend in engagement rings highlighting the transition from paveros and delicate prongs to bezel, collet and gold forward settings,” the jeweller adds. “Think Lily Collins or Zendaya. A vintage charm with a fresh, modern edge.”
The Brooks vintage-inspired ring shines a further spotlight on the movement to “delicate modern vintage details such as Milglen edging on the bezel,” as well as “a proportion of chankier, square cuts, more classic and timeless feel.”
