We finally know the story (and designer) behind Ariana Grande’s engagement ring!  Designed by Jack Solow, he explains how the engagement ring came together.  “Dalton was involved in every step of the selection process through FaceTime and Zoom since he was on the west coast and I was here in my office in New York. He was very, very specific about what he wanted.  He had very strong feelings about how he wanted this to look, a contemporary kind of way. It was his idea to do the diamond on an angle and he said to me we had to incorporate a pearl into the finished piece because it is very sentimentally special, the element of a pearl is very, very sentimentally special to Ariana. He wanted to include that in the ring,” Jack shares.

 

Jack later reposted a photo of Ariana’s ring and writes, “Wishing you a lifetime of love and smiles @dalton_jacob and @arianagrande It was a pleasure working with you @dalton_jacob and seeing your design vision transform into reality… a #solowco labor of love.  Congratulations.”

Once Ariana shared the photo of her gorgeous engagement ring, fans were quick to notice similarities between her new ring, and an older ring.  Following the passing of Ariana’s grandfather in 2014, here Nonna (grandmother) made Ari a ring which was from her late husband’s tie pin.  At the time, Ariana posted a photo of the newly designed and revealed, “Nonna had a ring made for me w/ the pearl from grandpa’s tie pin. she says he told her in a dream it’d protect me. <3.”
