Mary-Kate Olsen’s engagement ring certainly reflects her love of vintage design and is both elegant and has an edge, capturing our attention with a 4ct European cut diamond as the centrepiece and main focus. Additionally, there are 16 vivid blue, calibre cut sapphires, which are custom cut to surround the centre diamond. The basket features 1.5 carats of single cut white diamonds, alternating with delicate golden petals, giving the collet a floral form.
Originally designed in the 1950s, the ring was bought by French banker, Olivier Sarkozy at a Sotheby’s jewellery auction for $81,250. If you’re looking to take inspiration from Mary-Kate Olsen’s vintage engagement ring, there are several design aspects you could incorporate into your own engagement ring design, from the blue sapphire halo, the roped band, the organic-inspired basket or even the vintage style itself.
