Breezy Johnson’s Engagement Ring Is Pure Alpine Glam

If you thought Breezy Johnson's performance at the 2026 Winter Olympics couldn't get any more cinematic, think again! The Team USA ski sensation had already made history at the Milano Cortina Games, taking home gold in the women's downhill ski racing. But after crashing out of the super-G race, Breezy skied to the base of the mountain to find her boyfriend, Connor Watkins, down on one knee. Surrounded by teammates, competitors, and the kind of energy that only the Olympics can produce, he proposed with a custom-made sapphire and white gold ring, and she exclaimed, “Yes!” 

The wooden ring box was engraved with "Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?": a lyric from Taylor Swift's hit song "The Alchemy." Swift herself caught wind of the moment and jumped into the Instagram comments, quoting the song right back and sending the internet absolutely spiraling. Breezy's reply? She offered Taylor ski lessons! Honestly, iconic.

Watkins had been planning the proposal for a full year, coordinating with family, friends, and even a teammate who helped him design the ring. It's a seriously special piece, and it's had fans talking ever since. In this blog, you'll get the full scoop on Breezy's sapphire engagement ring, plus a roundup of Keyzar styles that channel that same bold, romantic spirit. Whether you're newly engaged, still searching, or just here for the sparkle, you're in the right place.

The Ring That Stole the Spotlight at the Olympic Games

Breezy Johnson is not the kind of person who does anything by halves. So it makes perfect sense that her engagement ring is just as bold and beautiful as the runs she takes down a mountain at 80 miles per hour. Connor Watkins worked with a jeweler to create a custom ring featuring a blue sapphire center stone, white sapphire accents, and a white gold bypass band. The result is a ring that's equal parts athletic cool and red-carpet glamor: a little icy, a lot gorgeous, and completely her.

Blue sapphires are having a major moment right now, and it's easy to see why. They're vibrant and instantly eye-catching. Lab-created blue sapphires, in particular, have become a popular choice among modern brides. They're physically and chemically identical to mined sapphires, but they're created in a controlled environment rather than extracted from the earth, making them a beautiful and conscientious option without any compromise on color or brilliance.

If Breezy Johnson's engagement ring has you inspired (and it absolutely should), Keyzar Jewelry has a collection of styles that bring that same dynamic, refined energy to life. Here are four you’ll definitely want to know about!

The Skyler

If Breezy's ring speaks to you, The Skyler is going to stop you in your tracks. This stunning style features a modern bypass setting, meaning the band sweeps upward on both sides, wrapping around the center stone in a fluid, embracing silhouette. It's architectural and romantic at the same time, with a claw-set center stone that sits elevated for serious dramatic impact. It's the kind of ring that looks just as striking on a ski slope as it does at a candlelit dinner, and if Breezy Johnson's Olympic bling is your inspiration, that versatility is exactly what you're looking for.

The Twig

One of Keyzar's bestsellers, The Twig is a nature-inspired engagement ring that looks like it was pulled straight from an enchanted forest. The band is crafted to resemble an organic twig curling gently around the finger while round cut accent diamonds catch the light like a dewdrop on a branch at sunrise. It's romantic without being fussy, distinctive without being loud, and rooted in something that actually means something. If your love story belongs outside, The Twig is the ring that belongs on your finger.

The Pave Skyler

Love everything about The Skyler but wish it had even more sparkle? Meet its showstopper sibling: The Pave Skyler. This style keeps the same bold bypass silhouette that makes The Skyler so captivating, then takes it up a full notch with pavé diamonds lining the band, creating what looks like a continuous river of light wrapping around your finger. The effect is nothing short of breathtaking. If you love the story behind Breezy's proposal but want your ring to bring a little extra dazzle to the finish line, The Pave Skyler is your answer.

The Pave Ashley

Sometimes the most stunning choice is the one that's quietly beautiful - and that's exactly what The Pave Ashley is all about. This style features a low-profile setting, meaning the center stone sits closer to the finger for a sleek, streamlined look while the delicate 1.5mm pavé band delivers continuous shimmer without overpowering the overall look. For anyone with an active lifestyle (and if Breezy Johnson is your ring inspiration, there's a good chance that's you ) The Pave Ashley is a genuinely smart as well as luxurious choice.
