Hailey Bieber is her generation’s go-to tastemaker for everything from style to beauty advice, so it’s no surprise that her engagement rings—yes, plural—have become a staple on bulletin boards worldwide.
Justin Bieber proposed to the supermodel in July 2018 while they were on a romantic holiday in the Bahamas, where he went all out. The chart-topper hired private jeweller Jack Solow of Solow & Co. to design the unique sparkler.
Justin hand-picked the oval-cut solitaire diamond, estimated to weigh between six and ten carats, to anchor the show-stopping ring. Solow, who is located in New York, stated that the Baby singer was heavily involved in the creative process. After being introduced by Justin’s manager, Scooter Braun, Solow and Justin exchanged videos and notes about the stones. “Justin gave this a lot of thought,” Solow explained to People. “I showed him all the subtleties and complexities that I would show any other 25-year-old kid who came into the office to purchase an engagement diamond.
Solow also stated that Justin desired a diamond that “gracefully accentuated Hailey’s beautifully shaped hands.” Solow explained, “We chose an oval stone that was simply extraordinary in its length and beauty. Look at her hands—she’s stunning. He seemed quite excited. “He was staring inside the diamond with the [jeweler’s] loupe and said, ‘I think I see Hailey’s face.
Hailey’s eye-catching engagement ring, which has gained popularity due to its classic elegance and exquisite simplicity, also boasts a timeless 18k gold band. Experts think that the rock is worth $500,000.
The jeweller also announced on Instagram that Solow & Co. donated $5,000 to Hailey’s grandmother’s charity, the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Fund, following the commission. “We made [the donation] to the charity out of respect for the couple and to mark the moment,” he told me.
The significance of the proposal date, as well as every element of the ring, was meticulously arranged. When breaking the news on Instagram, Bieber explained that he proposed on the seventh day of the seventh month because of the number’s mystical significance.
When Hailey announced her pregnancy on Instagram in 2024, along with a video of an intimate vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii, followers were quick to notice an even larger diamond on her ring finger.
Yes, while the Biebers celebrated a huge milestone, they also upgraded Hailey’s jewellery. Lorraine Schwartz (who previously created the legendary rings for Blake Lively and Beyoncé) devised the new knockout. Her revised engagement ring is set in yellow gold, the same colour as her wedding band, and has another oval-shaped solitaire, this time in a four-prong setting. What is the projected price tag? Approximately $1.5 million.
In a cover story interview with W magazine last year, the fiercely private founder of Rhode skincare addressed tabloid speculation about the ring and its alleged size. “Actually, it is only one carat larger. “It’s just elongated,” she explained. “They’re coming up with their own stories about it. I do not like it. I did not want to talk about it.”
The original is now worn as a pinky ring by the trend-setter and new mother.
