Well, it’s official! After four years together, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are finally tying the knot in diamond encrusted Hollywood style! The famous celebutante socialite, who is the adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie, became officially affianced to her musician beau (and father of their two young children – Harlow Winter Kate Madden and Sparrow James Midnight Madden) when Madden gave Richie a gorgeous 4 carat diamond engagement ring made by jewelry designer, and celebrity favorite, Neil Lane. Nicole Richie actually designed the engagement ring together with the famous designer, and debuted the stunning piece of jewelry to the world on a taping of the Late Show with David Letterman.
Nicole Richie, whose semi-autobiographical novel is entitled The Truth About Diamonds, has always been a gemstone obsessed girl! With that Hollywood upbringing, she has been lucky enough to be able to afford the accessories necessary to make her even more famous for her glam style, and we’ve seen her with plenty of fancy jewelry pieces over the years. If you’re having trouble coming up with a memory of Nicole Richie’s other gemstone exploits, the most famous may have been her pink sapphire ring, which was such a shocking shade of bright pink that it has since spawned numerous gemstone ring imitations.
Before she designed her own diamond engagement ring, Nicole Richie created a vintage inspired jewelry collection named after her daughter with fiancé Joel Madden. The collection, called House of Harlow, features affordable precious metal pieces of jewelry using less decadent “gems” such as abalone (mother of pearl) and semi-precious gemstones. In light of her unique sense of style and easy creativity, it’s no wonder that the mother of two and recently engaged Richie would want to design her own diamond engagement ring.
Neil Lane stated that he enjoyed working with Nicole Richie, and that she was “lovely”. When asked about what kind of input she had from her fiancé, Lane explained that Joel Madden only wanted her to have the perfect diamond engagement ring, and didn’t mind not being directly involved in the jewelry design process. “Joel just wanted her to have her dream ring.” Neil Lane was also quoted as saying that “The 4 carat, circular beauty definitely showcases a unique diamond engagement ring design which we are quite likely to see repeated by fans in the near future”. According to Neil Lane’s prediction, an imitation of Nicole Richie’s engagement ring should be available at affordable prices any day now…
