Eva Amurri’s Engagement Ring and Proposal: More Details
Eva is getting married to chef Ian Hock. On February 20, 2023, Ian proposed with Eva Amurri’s engagement ring in the Rodin Museum garden in Paris, France, while on vacation.
Her ring is a 3-stone design with a total of 14 carats. In the center is an emerald-cut diamond prong-set on a 14K yellow gold and platinum band. Each side has a supporting baguette-cut diamond in a horizontal placement, flowing into each shank.
Page Six confirmed these details with celeb jewelry designer Christina Settani, who collaborated on the ring with Ian. She also stated, “We were so excited to work with @iandhock to design the perfect ring. Congratulations to the happy couple! So happy for both of you!!!”
The actress captioned their Instagram photos with lyrics from the Taylor Swift song “Lover”.
How Much is Her Engagement Ring?
Our phone conversation with Benjamin Khordipour, G.D., GIA GG, an advanced degree holder with the Gemological Institute of America and Gübelin, and the jewelry specialist at Estate Diamond Jewelry, enabled us to get a closer professional inspection of the ring.
He estimated Eva Amurri’s diamond engagement ring to be worth $70,000. It is a 3-stone ring totaling 14 carats.
The emerald-cut diamond is worth $60,000. The two baguette stones on each side and its Christina Settani design and workmanship all contribute to the current value.
More Details About the Ring
Christina described Eva’s 3-stone engagement ring featuring an emerald-cut diamond set on a 14K yellow gold and platinum band. Two square baguette stones accent the ring on both sides. It also has an open gallery in a basket setting.
Eva Amurri’s engagement ring is a two-tone design. These dual-colored metal bands are increasing in popularity, and her combination of yellow gold and platinum is the most common.
An emerald cut diamond features a more elongated shape than other diamond cuts. Its rectangular shape has round edges to prevent fracture and add stability.
The emerald cut has a large top surface (“table”), giving more white and colored light reflection. It’s a popular choice for an engagement ring, and the elongated shape makes the diamond appear larger.
Dimensions are essential with an emerald cut. Depth will impact how much light is reflected off the center stone, so choose an emerald cut diamond with a depth below 74%.
At the same time, the length-to-width ratio will influence the shape of the diamond. Depending on this dimension, the emerald-cut diamond will have a more squared or elongated shape.
The stones on Eva’s ring are placed in a basket setting in an open gallery. When the gallery is left open, the center stone is more visible, and the viewers can see it in better detail. It is thought that an open gallery also allows more light to reach the center stone, making the diamond sparkle more. But this is not necessarily true, as light enters from the top.
How Eva Met Ian
The newly engaged couple met when Eva went to Ian’s restaurant with a friend who knew Ian from their high school days. Ian came by their table to say hi to that friend and immediately noticed Eva. She admitted there was an instant spark and a connection between them as they chatted. The actress thought Ian was cute, but she didn’t know anything about his life or if he was in a relationship, and neither did her friend.
Eva took the first step and followed him on Instagram. Ian followed her back, and they started chatting. They exchanged messages for a month and got to know, love books and going to museums, and they are both foodies.
