Every Inch of Simone Biles's Massive Engagement Ring Is Covered in Diamonds

Feb 15 2022 - 10:10am

Sure, Simone Biles's ever-growing collection of gold medals [1] is shiny, but you know what's shinier? Her new engagement ring from Jonathan Owens. The Olympic gymnast got engaged to the Houston Texans football player [2] on Valentine's Day and showed off her new ring on Instagram [3] the following morning.

The ring features a massive oval-shaped diamond set on a white-gold pavé band encrusted with dozens of smaller diamonds. It also appears to have a hidden halo to amp up the sparkle even more. The enormous rock just might rival her 88-pound Met Gala dress [4] in weight. (OK, obviously kidding here, but we felt like reminding you that she casually rocked a 88-pound dress to the Met Gala, so thanks for indulging us.) Owens visited Houston-based custom jeweler ZoFrost & Co. to design his wife-to-be's ring, and he deserves a perfect 10 — nay, a perfect 15 — for his efforts. "You went crazy on this one bro really made the night special," he wrote while giving the jeweler a shoutout on Instagram. Jenny Luker, president of Platinum Guild International USA, estimates the center diamond is seven to nine carats and the ring costs about $325,000 — whew!

When Owens got down on one knee and popped the question to Biles, she was wearing a black leather dress with side ruching and matching Saint Laurent pumps, while he wore a gray suit, black turtleneck, and leather sneakers. Read ahead to swoon over photos of Biles's engagement ring, and check out this video from the jeweler [5] to see just how gorgeous it is from every angle.
