Emily in Paris star, Lily Collins, recently became engaged to Charlie McDowell on a romantic, sunny trip to New Mexico. McDowell designed the bespoke ring himself, with the help of a jewellery designer. The unusual engagement ring features a bezel set rose cut diamond, set in 18ct gold with a chunky brushed band. The understatedly bohemian vibe of this engagement ring perfectly suits Lily’s laid-back style.
