Westwick re-shared the post via his Instagram Story, writing, “I hit the jackpot xxx.”The final photo in the Instagram carousel showed Amy’s engagement ring on her finger; an oval-shaped sparkler.

What Kind of Engagement Ring Did He Propose With?

Amy Jackson’s engagement ring is a stunning and timeless 4-carat oval solitaire diamond, a shape that has gained popularity in recent years. 

Oval diamonds are renowned for their elegance and versatility. The elongated silhouette not only creates an illusion of a larger size but also enhances the finger’s appearance, adding a touch of sophistication.

The solitaire setting is a classic choice, placing the magnificent oval diamond as a solitary focal point highlights its beauty and allows it to captivate with unparalleled brilliance. 

The oval diamond is a rubover set, meaning it is set with the metal pushed up and around the parameter of the diamond, rather than being traditionally set with claws. Rub-over settings are an ultra-modern way to style a solitaire ring. Unique enough that they break the boundaries of traditional style, while remaining very simple and refined.

How Much Is Amy’s Engagement Ring Worth?

If it is a natural diamond, this ring would be worth around $120,000. Natural diamonds this size are rare: there are only a handful of top-quality four-carat natural diamonds available.

However, given the rarity of this type of diamond, there is a high chance that this one is lab-grown rather than naturally sourced. A four-carat lab-grown ring would be closer to $40,000. Since their introduction to the market, lab-grown diamonds have boomed in popularity as a more affordable and sustainable alternative to natural diamonds.

When it comes to Amy’s ring, we’ll never know, but it’s beautiful nonetheless. The perfect ring for a perfect couple.
Last year, Ed opened up to Daily Mail about his and Amy’s decision to move into a new home together in the UK.  “We got a new place in the countryside just outside of London. Things are wonderful, she’s my best mate.” Best mate, and soon to be wifey. We’re here for it.
