What Patrick Mahomes’ engagement ring looks like
It’s easy to see why former soccer pro Brittany Matthews is proud to flaunt her engagement ring from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The ring features a huge 8 to 10 carat radiant cut diamond set in a platinum or white gold double band lined with pave diamonds. This couple’s engagement ring is valued at about $800,000.
What we love about Patrick Mahomes’ engagement ring
We’ve got to start by talking about that gigantic radiant cut diamond as the ring’s center stone. Since Mahomes spared no expense, its cut is pristine and it appears to be flawless. Radiant cut diamonds offer the sparkle and brilliance of a round brilliant cut, but have a more unique shape.
We love that Mahomes opted for a more special shape for his bride to be. As well as the fact that an elongated shape like the radiant cut is particularly flattering on petite hands like Brittany’s. Radiant cut diamonds give the hand a more elegant, feminine look.
When it comes to this center stone, the solitaire look reigns supreme. Adding large accent stones or a pair of side stones would have detracted from the size and beauty of the radiant cut diamond. Mahome’s ring allows the large radiant cut diamond to be the star of the show.
Silver settings for the win
As far as the setting, Mahomes was perfectly on trend with his choice of metal. Silver toned metals like platinum and white gold are the most popular look nowadays. Brittany’s platinum or white gold setting pairs with her flawless diamond to create a timeless, elegant piece.
To add a little extra sparkle while keeping it classy, Mahomes chose a setting with a pave band. Not only that, but he went with a double banded setting - both lined with pave diamonds. This look adds just enough bling to complement the center stone without detracting from its brilliance and fire. And, the double banded setup adds more security for the center stone.
How to get the look
Okay, so we don’t all make NFL money and probably can’t shell out close to a million dollars for an engagement ring. But if you’re set on a look like Patrick Mahomes’ engagement ring, don’t sweat it quite yet. You can still get an engagement ring that looks like Brittany’s without spending your life’s savings and then some.
