£100K Ring, Big Love, and a Beckham Connection: Inside Mel B’s Glam Wedding
Mel B got married in not one but two fabulous ceremonies as she tied the knot with Rory McPhee in July, and her engagement ring is certainly a (rather sparkly) token of her new husband’s affection.
The former Spice Girl, 50, exclusively revealed to HELLO! in 2022 that her hairstylist beau had proposed at the five-star Cliveden House hotel in Berkshire.
“For the first time in my life, I’m engaged to a beautiful, honest person who makes me feel protected, nurtured and so loved, and I want to savour that,” Mel told HELLO! at the time.
Since the pair said ‘I do’ at St Paul’s Cathedral on 5 July, Mel has shared just a handful of snippets of their big day. Now, a jewellery expert shares their thoughts on the ring symbolising their love story.
Mel’s engagement ring in detail
Maxwell Stone, diamond expert at UK jeweller Steven Stone, reveals that Mel’s engagement ring boasts a striking pear-shaped diamond. “[It’s] beautifully set on a warm rose gold band that adds a touch of modern elegance and timeless romance,” he says.
The hue of the diamond in Mel’s ring sets it apart from the crowd.
“Mel’s diamond is champagne coloured,” Maxwell says. “Champagne coloured diamonds are beautiful stones known for their unique colour and tint, which is due to nitrogen impurity in their crystal lattices.
