It’s been four years since Scarlet Johansson revealed her engagement ring at Comic-Con, but we’re still thinking about it.
The Beloved Black Widow actress showed off her one-of-a-kind sparkler and announced her intentions to marry Saturday Night Co-head Writer Colin Jost during the convention in 2019. The pair had hit it off when she hosted SNL in 2017 and the rest is history.
While the love story is great, the real talker is the ring.
Huge stone. Brown tint. Dark band. It’s a lot, so let’s discuss.
What Does Scarlett Johansson’s Engagement Ring Look Like?
Scarlett Johansson’s engagement ring is a light brown, uniquely rounded pear shaped center stone, anchored with a black band curved around the bottom of the stone.
The ring is essentially a solitaire setting, although a very innovative one. As the prongs cover only a very small amount of the stone, as much light as possible can enter the diamond, maximizing its brilliance and sparkle.
Well, the diamond isn’t a conventional shape; it most resembles a pear cut, but with a rounded tip. The jeweler seems to have mixed an oval cut with a pear cut to create a unique and elegant egg shape. The stone itself is huge: a whopping 11 carats, but that is not the most impressive aspect.
The most unique and striking aspect of the stone is the color. It’s a light brown diamond. Brown diamonds range in color from light ‘champagne’ to darker ‘cognac’. These stones can be rich and beautiful, but aren’t the most popular, and are the most readily available and least scarce of all colored diamonds.
Who Designed Scarlett’s Engagement Ring?
Scarlett’s engagement ring was the work of master jeweler James de Givenchy (yes, he’s related to THAT Givenchy) of Taffin.
Givenchy works in super rare stones with extensive provenance, and is famed for experimenting with bold proportions, and unorthodox ceramic settings. With that pedigree, it cost a pretty penny.
Scarlett Johansson’s one-of-a-kind engagement ring reportedly cost around $400,000.
In our eyes, well worth every single cent.
