Bella Thorne and beau Mark Emms lit up Instagram when they announced their engagement, which happened earlier on May 13, 2023. Other than the celebrity engagement, was Belle Thorne’s engagement ring. Mark aced it, securing her resounding yes.
To get a professional perspective on it, we had an EXCLUSIVE phone call with Benjamin Khordipour, G.D., the author, jewelry specialist, and gemologist at NYC’s Estate Diamond Jewelry. Click here to see what he said.
The Surprise Proposal Plus Hot Details on Bella Thorne’s Engagement Ring
Bella and Mark were at her home in California on May 13, 2023, when Mark surprised her with an adorable proposal. It was the day before Mother’s Day 2023, adding to the family festivity. He decorated the proposal site with heart-shaped balloons, flowers, and candles to set up an ultra-romantic mood.
Bella Thorne’s engagement ring features a 3-stone,10-plus carat emerald-cut diamond prong set in platinum. Each shoulder has a baguette-cut diamond to further accent the centerpiece. The couple didn’t disclose any other details about the ring and its designer.
High carat diamonds are rare and expensive. A 10-plus carat diamond is a one-of-a-kind rarity with matching high prices.
We spoke about the ring with Benjamin Khordipour, G.D., the jewelry specialist at NYC’s Estate Diamond Jewelry and an advanced degree holder from the Gemological Institute of America and Gübelin.
Determining the ring’s value is a challenge as we have to speculate about its color and clarity grades. A ring of this size, with lower quality, might be valued around $80,000. If the 10-plus carat diamond has higher quality, the ring’s value is around $950,000.
The most accurate estimate places the value of the ring between $950,000 and $1,000,000. The center diamond, baguette diamonds on both sides, the platinum mount, and expert crafting all add up to the high price range.
Bella Thorne and Mark Emms Before The Ring
Bella Thorne, top actress and director, and her beau, producer and bar owner Mark Emms, met at the beach in Ibiza, which started their love story. They were both attending Cara Delevingne’s beach birthday party in August last year.
Less than a year later, Mark knew she was the one, and he planned the romantic proposal.
On Valentine’s Day 2023, the couple finally went officially public. They did a lovely hard launch on Instagram, where Bella is on the most, as she uses it for her business promotions as well.
“Find someone you want to share your candy with,” Bella captioned the post with them sharing Valentine’s Day candy.
On May 13, one day before Mother’s Day, Mark romantically proposed down on one knee at Bella’s house in California. They celebrated with their families afterward. Thorne was happy to show off her new engagement ring on Instagram but took her time and shared it on May 26, about 2 weeks after the golden proposal.
Bella wasted no time starting to think about wedding details. She hopes to be married in the English countryside, her hometown, on the beautiful grounds of an English manor. So, who will design the dress? She’s thinking either vintage Schiaparelli or Dior. She added that “Every bride does not need one gown, but four,” so maybe both will get a shot!
On August 16, 2025, Bella Thorne also proposed to Mark, reversing the roles and completing the engagement circle. They commemorated the second engagement on Instagram.
More and more celebrities and couples are also doing the reverse proposal, including Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey’s Anatomy. Rita Ora, Elizabeth Taylor, Pink, Sarah Snook, Kristen Bell, Britney Spears, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Jennifer Hudson have all also done the romantic proposal to their husbands.
