Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have been together since 2020. Two years into their relationship, MGK proposed to her on January 11, 2022. Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker) worked with British jewelry designer Stephen Webster to craft the unique ring. He was a fan of Webster’s previous collection of jewelry, which he created and designed, The Seven Deadly Sins.
MGK chose a “Toi et Moi” (you and me) design, which uses two different pear-shaped gems in one ring. Separable into two, it joins together in a singular ring. Megan Fox’s engagement ring is a fusion of two rings that are separable but one when worn. It’s a premium two-ring combination piece held by magnets, with matching birthstone gems: one in a D-color, antique-cut diamond for Kelly, and one in an untreated Colombian emerald for Fox.
Both elements form a heart and two-band ring, with pavé bands made of an 18-carat white gold ring and a thorn-motif shank with small diamonds around it. In turn, the collaboration inspired Webster for his next jewelry collections: Thorn Embrace and Thorn Addiction.
Details on the Gemstones
Megan’s one-of-a-kind, two rings in one stays united while wearing it, with an added feature. The thorn motifs in the shank are functional; Kelly says they can cause pain when removing the ring.
Megan Fox’s birthstone is emerald. They used an untreated 3-carat emerald, which is half of the 2-part, 7-carat diamond heart center it forms. There are no oils or other applications used on the emerald. Oil can enhance its outer shine but later cause visible marks, which lead to repeated cleaning and re-oiling. The second gemstone is a more than 3-carat D-color diamond, Kelly’s birthstone.
D color grades are the highest level, with the color as pure as a drop of water. Gemological labs such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) use industry standards to rate these color levels to determine their quality. The color range is in alphabetical format, from the highest, D, to the lowest, Z. They are rare and hard to source, making them expensive and always in demand.
The Final Cost
For the value of this special ring, we consulted Benjamin Khordipour, the trusted jewelry specialist at Estate Diamond Jewelry in New York City. He explains, “The engagement ring given by Colson Baker to Megan Fox showcases two gemstones with a combined approximate weight of 7 carats. A mere glance reveals the diamond’s collection-grade quality, which represents the most expensive type available.”
Khordipour added, “Regarding the emerald, it’s worth noting that over 99% of emeralds in the market undergo treatment. An untreated emerald is a rarity, and the few available are of extremely high value. Our evaluation places the worth of Megan Fox’s engagement ring at a minimum of $350,000 to $500,000.”
The Ring and the Proposal
Megan Fox and MGK became a couple after Fox separated from her ex-husband, Brian Austin Green, with whom she shares three children. In May 2020, Megan appeared in MGK’s “Bloody Valentine” video, playing the role of his girlfriend. It was a fast-forward vision of the future, as they became official a month after the video.
Three months before his proposal date, MGK approached Stephen Webster for the design and creation of the ring. It took him six weeks to design, source, plan, and create the custom piece. Kelly proposed to her over a year later with the special ring in Puerto Rico during their vacation. He knelt on one knee and first revealed the custom masterpiece ring to her and the world, earning that affirming “yes”. Both celebrities and the ring itself became the hottest news items online.
