Gwen Stefani: Just a Girl With a Fabulous Engagement Ring
Ending 2020 on an unexpectedly high note, Gwen Stefani became engaged to country singer and co-star on The Voice, Blake Shelton. After five years of dating, Blake popped the question last month during a family trip to Oklahoma. The engagement ring is a platinum princess cut diamond stunner, and it perfectly suits Gwen’s feminine punk style.

Gwen briefly talked about the engagement on an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. ‘I had no Idea, obviously,’ she said. ‘In fact, I was trying to get out of Oklahoma because it was getting too complicated with Covid and the family. I was like, I think we should just cancel the trip!’
Luckily for Gwen, she didn’t cancel her own proposal. Her and Blake made it to Oklahoma, and Blake hid the ring in the compartment in the door of his truck for a week. Blake even asked Gwen’s father for his blessing.

Blake surprised his soon-to-be fiancée by asking her to help him light the fire, and then hid the ring in the cabinet with the fire starter. To Gwen’s surprise, the ring was sitting there in the cupboard. Gwen realised what was happening and immediately said yes. With his family and her sons all around, the family celebrated the proposal and managed to capture some very special images from the day.
Gwen’s engagement ring is crafted from a beautiful square princess cut diamond, estimated to be around six to eight carats. The diamond is set in a platinum band, flanked with two trapezoid side diamonds. The ring has quite a geometric feel, yet is quite classic and fits into her signature Old Hollywood look. We estimate the ring to cost around £460,000 or $615,000.
