Kristen Bell’s engagement ring pictures
We get our best glimpse of Kristen’s ring from this shot, snapped on the red carpet. From it we can tell that her center stone isn’t the traditional crystal-clear diamond, it is definitely brown. The ring’s setting appears to be platinum, and there is decorative pavé along the sides and part-way down each side of the shank.
Here’s a super zoom-in so we can really analyze those details. Yep still brown, and definitely an emerald cut.
Okay, this is cheating, but here’s the ring’s official headshot from its designer Neil Lane.
What style setting is Kristen Bell’s engagement ring?
Kristen’s ring is an unusual platinum solitaire with a total of 16 small melee stones down the sides of the ring, and framing the left and right sides.
The most unique and striking aspect of Kristen Bell’s engagement ring is the center brown diamond. As a general rule, if you’re looking for a gorgeous colored diamond, but aren’t interested in breaking the bank, brown diamonds are an excellent option to consider.
Brown diamonds range in color from light ‘champagne’ diamonds to darker ‘cognac’ diamonds:
These stones can be rich and beautiful, but are n’t the most popular, and are the most readily available and least scarce of all colored diamonds. They are priced competitively and provide exquisite contrast to traditional white diamonds
What shape is Kristen Bell’s engagement ring diamond?
The center stone of Kristen’s engagement ring is a sophisticated emerald cut diamond.
Emerald cut diamond engagement rings make a slightly unusual (just like K-Bell herself), but ever stylish and classy alternative. With a look that complements vintage-style ring settings, the emerald cut diamond is perfect for someone who values old-school glamour over flashy bling.
For a couple of reasons emerald cut engagement rings are considerably less expensive than the more popular cuts. The first being because there is lower demand for them, jewelers know that they need to price emerald cuts lower.
But emerald cuts are also easier to make than brilliant cuts like the round or the princess cut. This means that a less skilful gem-cutter is needed to create them and they take less time to cut and shape.
How many carats is Kristen Bell’s engagement ring?
Kristen Bell’s engagement ring perfectly complements her petite frame without overshadowing it, at 3 carats.
The stretched out shape of the 3 carat emerald cut diamond perfectly suits Kristen’s slender fingers, and makes the stone appear larger as well.
Where is Kristen bell’s engagement ring from?
Dax Shepard turned to reliable celebrity favorite Neil Lane, as his jeweler of choice when crafting Kristen’s perfect ring.

How much did Kristen Bell’s engagement ring cost? And what’s it really worth?!
It’s reported that Kristen’s unique engagement ring cost Dax Shepard $100,000.
Browsing around Neil Lane’s website I found a similar brown diamond engagement ring; notable differences being the center stone is a round cut instead of an emerald, and the metal of the setting is rose gold instead of platinum.
he center stone is a full carat larger, but the overall piece comes in at just $24,000. Now, platinum versus rose gold accounts for some of the price difference but the rest is probably just designer’s fee.
