Baseball player Cole Tucker popped the all-important question during a vacation in Paris.  The two have been dating since December 2020, after first meeting in a Zoom meditation group. They became Instagram official in February 2021, and have continued to share glimpses of their romance ever since.

Hudgens’ elegant sparkler features a timeless oval-cut diamond set on a thin yellow-gold band and looks to be around 3 – 3.5 carats. The unique pavé diamond under halo sets it apart from many others.

So who is the designer behind the ring? – Chase Gregory Jewelers.

According to Chase’s Instagram his and Cole’s relationship started way back.

” Some years back I was connected with @cotuck during his rookie year. He wanted our diamond bead necklace that is popular with the MLB guys. Fast forward a few years…while we were golfing at a charity tournament he whispered that he might be ready for THE piece of jewelry. The most important piece of jewelry a guy can ever invest in. He wanted the perfect engagement ring for @vanessahudgens. Over the next few months, he did his reconnaissance on exactly what she wanted, and then we spent several weeks examining different diamonds together while he was on the road playing. Together we collaborated to make an incredible custom engagement ring. The one he’s used to proposing a life together with. ”

Oval cut diamonds on a thin band are a timeless and popular style amongst celebrities. Stars like Simone Biles, Kourtney Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber all sport similar-style engagement rings.

Congrats to the couple!

She donned a three-row diamond necklace featuring more than 90 carats of rose-cut gems, matching floral-inspired earrings set with roughly 12 carats of diamonds, as well as a ring bearing a trio of antique cushion-cut stones – all adorning her silver sequined Valentino bralette and skirt layered beneath a hot pink robe.

But what caught our eye was the custom belly chain valued at $1.8 million set with more than 139 carats of oval, round, and marquise rose-cut diamonds in platinum. The chain was inspired by Bayco’s ‘White Roses’ collection. It appears that Riri is adding to her ever-growing diamond belly chain collection because who could forget the first one she wore by Messika at the launch of her beauty brand Fenty at Ultra Beauty on March 14, 2022?
