The reported feud in the Beckham fold has occupied their fans for weeks, and yet, according to a jewellery designer, the eye-watering diamond engagement ring that was an upgrade from the ring Brooklyn proposed to Nicola with in 2020 continues to be a symbol of their harmonious relationship.
“Oval diamonds often symbolise longevity and harmony — their shape has no sharp corners, representing a smooth and balanced love story,” jewellery designer Sophia Perez tells HELLO!.
Nicola’s ring in detail
Nicola’s ring was upgraded shortly after getting married to Brooklyn Beckham in 2022. Sophia tells us that Nicola’s levelled up ring (the original ring was a solitaire emerald-cut diamond number) is on another level.

Based on the size of the central oval diamond and the additional side stones, I’d estimate the ring is worth around $540,000 to $811,000 (£400,000 to £600,000), possibly more depending on the quality and carat weight,” she says. “It’s definitely a bespoke piece, designed to make a statement.”
© InstagramThe ring itself is not only visually impressive, but to an expert like Sophia, stands out due to its clarity. “The centre stone is an oval-cut white diamond, likely between 8 and 10 carats, which gives the ring a soft, romantic feel while still being incredibly eye-catching,” she explains.
“It’s flanked by two tapered triangular diamonds (sometimes called trillion cuts), which add symmetry and a contemporary edge. The band is most likely platinum or 18ct white gold, keeping the focus entirely on the stones while offering durability and shine.”
Trendy for 2025

Oval diamonds continue to be one of the most requested shapes — they elongate the finger and offer lots of brilliance without being too traditional,” Sophia says, adding: “Three-stone settings are having a moment, especially with contrasting shapes like ovals and trillions. It’s a modern twist on a classic design.”
