This week Channel24 reported that Justin Bieber proposed to Hailey Baldwin while on holiday in the Bahamas. Yesterday Bieber posted the below on his Instagram, officially announcing the news:
Yet the ring Hailey is wearing in the announcement is much different, more non-traditional, than the one spotted on her ring finger the day after they got engaged.
It's a whopper! Time.com's Money experts predict it costs more than $250,000 (R3 346 695) and is between six and eight carats. It's a beautiful oval-shaped ring, with a double band.
But traditional diamond rings like the gargantuan rock sported by Meghan Markle is not for everyone.
It's stunning, no doubt. But many prefer finding (or being given) that engagement ring that speaks to her unique style and taste.
