First comes love, then comes marriage bling, then comes marriage.
Here’s what we know about Britney Spears’ bauble, as bequeathed to the newly engaged pop star by fiancé Jason Trawick (and speaking of rings, that certainly has a nice one to it)…
We have confirmed that celeb favorite and jewelry designer extraordinaire Neil Lane designed Britney’s engagement ring.
According to Lane’s rep, Trawick personally worked with the designer to craft the diamond-bearing band into Spears’ “dream ring.”
Aww! This one is definitely a keeper!
Though a photo of the ring has yet to surface, a source confirms to us that the diamond is round, comes in around four carats, and features micro pave diamonds around the band.
“It’s classic, simple and beautiful,” they said.
While there’s no word yet on the ring’s value (though “high” is probably a safe bet), for comparison, Britney’s engagement ring from her marriage to hubby No. 2 Kevin Federline was 5.5 carats, designed by jeweler Cynthia Wolff and estimated at roughly $40,000.
Meanwhile, Spears is in good company with her Neil Lane band, as plenty of other stars have or are still donning the jeweler’s engagement wares, among them Zooey Deschanel, Emily Blunt, Kristen Bell, Portia de Rossi, Jennifer Hudson, Milla Jovovich, Jenna Dewan, Nicole Richie, Kate Beckinsale, Ashlee Simpson, Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Simpson.
