Paris Jackson’s engagement ring embodies all of her philosophies.
The 26-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson
confirmed her engagement to music producer Justin Long last week,
posting a series of sweet proposal photos among a birthday tribute to her fiancé and flaunting her new sparkler.
The dazzling diamond is actually a lab-grown stone, keeping true to Jackson’s sustainable spirit.
While it’s portrait cut and lower price point certainly make the diamond an unusual choice, the rock holds some pedigree of note: Jackson tapped lab-grown diamond aficionado Jean Dousset — the great-great-grandson of Cartier founder Louis Cartierhttps://jeandousset.com/?utm_source...=21181&utm_content=8-12864&clickId=4943671124 — for the bling.
Dousset is responsible for other high-profile engagement rings, including family friend Paris Hilton’s multi-millon dollar mega-sparkler, and he took time to weave significant details into the design specifically for the model.
The jewelry designer tells us that it took one month to create Jackson’s ring and that he incorporated references to the number seven — a significant figure to her, Long revealed — into the shape of the band and number of diamonds placed in various areas of the setting.
Dousset also revealed that he specifically sourced the 3-carat portrait-cut center stone for Paris for it’s rarity and “understated elegance,” with the smooth glass-like style first gaining noteriety during the Renaissance.
The flat cut was often used in lockets or other jewelry to cover hidden portraits and artwork, but was replaced in popularity with more modern brilliant-cut diamonds over time.
It’s no surprise that Jackson, who has been an outspoken vegan for years, would turn to a lab-grown stone rather than natural diamond.
She’s put her name and likeness behind tons of sustainable fashion endeavors, including
covering her 80 tattoos with Cover Fx products for the 2024 Grammys earlier this year to promote the vegan makeup brand.
Jackson has also long been a face of noted environmentalist Stella McCartney, previously modeling the fashion designer’s
mushroom-based alternative leather creations.
While Long worked with Dousset to customize his own design, the company offers customers a chance to pair the perfect setting with a hand-picked diamond.
The company’s similar styles include 3-carat stones
in an emerald shape for around $6,000, with the pavé setting adding an additional $2,000 — and customizations, like the more rare portrait cut, send the price higher.
Long and Jackson have been dating for nearly two years, though it’s unclear when exactly the former popped the question. The “Let Down” singer first sparked engagement rumors in September, when she turned up to Nina Ricci’s Paris Fashion Week runway show — in white, no less — wearing the same ring on her left hand.
We’re sure the couple’s wedding will be wildly bohemian — and environmentally friendly.
