It's the battle of the bling.
We got our first glimpse of Blake Lively's engagement ring yesterday, and Ryan Reynolds did a mighty fine job—but then again, he's done this before (hey, it's true!).
So how did his new wife's diamond compare to ex-wife Scarlett Johansson's rock? Designer Chris Capri of Capri Jewelry Inc. talks to E! News and breaks down the deets on these different jewels.
"It seems to me the ring is made of rose gold with the little diamonds on the sides of the ring being set micro-pavé style," Capri tells us of Lively's ring. "She has three rows of diamonds set on the ring. The center diamond is around 10 carats in what seems to be a light fancy pink oval-shape diamond. So the combined total carat weight between the small diamonds on the ring and the main diamond should be around 11 to 12 carats."
The jeweler also guesstimates how much moolah Reynolds put down for the ring. "I think he paid around $2 million, maybe closer to $3 million because of the color and size. It's definitely not a common diamond within the industry due to it's size, shape and especially it's color."
As for Scarlett's ring, it seems like Ryan chose to go the more traditional route.
"Her ring is a lot more common due to the color, shape and size," Capri tells E! News. "It looks to be three carats, round brilliant-cut shape, and it's set in yellow gold. Again, due to not knowing the clarity of the diamond, I can only guesstimate the value of the diamond being between $100,000 to $300,000 depending what the clarity is because it's definitely white in color."

but since I hate gold wedding/engagement rings, Blake gets my vote by default.
I hate gold rings so much.
scarjo > lively
Like oh Em gee why is the media always putting women against each other
Like oh my goodness
lol I shouldn't be surprised but I kind of am, I didn't think people would go so far
The gold on Scarlett's is gross and the diamond on Blake's is too big.
I've gotten into bracelets and bigger earrings (mainly b/c I shaved all my hair off) but necklaces and rings is just not for me at all.
sometimes rings or bracelets or w/e have some actual meaning to others, while some just wears rings and such cause they think it's pretty. plus sometimes costume jewelry can go really well with an outfit
My extended family still make judgey noises about the lack of jewellery on me when they see me, but idgaf and the stuff we have here is not even cute, I fucking hate "ethnic" jewellery.
I loooooove wearing jewelry. I love my engagement as wedding ring, I wear them daily. Along with them is my sapphire ring on my right hand and my sapphire pendant necklace. Earrings are not a must, but I like them just as much. I don't switch from those typically unless an outfit calls for it, but I feel naked if I don't have all that stuff on.
I always thought Alanis was too good for him as well.
