A Damsel in Love
Millie’s engagement ring is a breathtaking piece, featuring a cushion cut diamond set within a cushion shape halo. The dazzling centre stone, estimated to be between 3-3.5ct, is perched on a pavé band, turning the sparkle factor up to eleven.
The cushion cut halo adds a vintage touch that the residents of Hawkins would appreciate, while the pavé band provides a more modern twist. The brilliance of the central diamond ensures that the ring catches the light beautifully, making it an Eggo-cellent accessory whenever Millie steps out.
Upside Down in Love
While the ring Jake originally planned to propose with was different, the one Millie now proudly wears has an even deeper sentimental value. It belonged to her mother, who didn’t let her future son-in-law use it in the underwater scenario he initially planned.
Since the couple shares a love of diving, Jake had planned a deep-sea proposal with the actual ring. But Millie’s mother (wisely) refused to let him take her cherished ring on the dive, fearing it could be lost. And, it easily could have been, as Millie dropped the ring that she was presented with.
Ultimately, Jake proposed with a temporary ring placed thoughtfully in a shell. Upon resurfacing, he presented Millie with her mother’s ring, making the moment even more meaningful.

They Give Love A Good Name
Millie’s engagement ring follows several key trends in celebrity jewellery, which means slots in perfectly with her style. Firstly, the preference for timeless, traditional diamonds over coloured gemstones is evident. While some celebrities opt for unique stones, diamonds remain the classic symbol of love and commitment. The combination of a round or cushion cut diamond with a halo setting is another popular trend, offering a mix of vintage and contemporary.
Additionally, Millie’s ring aligns with the rising popularity of mixing classic and modern elements. The cushion halo surrounding the centre stone gives a nod to vintage aesthetics, while the pavé band keeps the look fresh out of the Hellfire Club.
An Electric Love
Cushion cut diamonds, like the one featured in Millie’s ring, have long been the most popular choice for engagement rings. Their symmetry and brilliance make them a timeless option that never goes out of style. This cut is versatile and pairs well with various settings, from traditional solitaires to intricate halo designs.
What makes Millie’s ring particularly feel like it’s running up that hill of timeless fashion, is pairing a round diamond with the cushion shape halo. This design choice enhances the diamond’s brilliance while adding an extra layer of mind-flaying sparkle to the piece.
A Neverending Story
Millie Bobby Brown has developed a reputation as a fashion icon, with a mix of Old Hollywood glamour and fun archival pieces she’s borrowed from her celebrity friends. Her engagement ring encapsulates this aesthetic, making it a perfect match for her personal style and Stranger Things aesthetics too. Whether she’s on the red carpet or sharing a candid moment on social media, the ring is a dazzling representation of her otherworldly love story.
As Millie and Jake continue to celebrate their engagement and their reported secret wedding, her stunning engagement ring remains a highlight, an exquisite symbol of love, family and superhero power.
