A Match Made in Hollywood:
Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott, the Canadian-born handyman extraordinaire and star of HGTV's Property Brothers, forged a wonderful connection on the set of "Carpool Karaoke" in 2019. Their chemistry was undeniable, and it was clear that their love story would soon take center stage. Now, their recent engagement has fans everywhere swooning over the prospect of a romantic fairy tale unfolding in front of our very eyes.
The Ring:
No engagement news is complete without of course, the ring! Zooey Deschanel's engagement ring is as playful and unique as the actress herself. Zooey's ring is a Folio des Peres ring in 18K white gold, set with 15 diamonds totalling 1.31ct and 7 sapphires totalling 2.72ct. Big and bold but completely in keeping with Zooey's whimsical charm, this ring depicts three flowers with pink and purple accents. This however, comes at a cost - £42,900 to be exact. Set with mined diamonds and sapphires, this ring breaks the bank as well as contributing to the problematic diamond mining industry. Folie des Prés ring from Van Cleef & Arpels.

With lab-grown diamonds, moissanite, sapphires and coloured gem stones - this ring could be far more affordable, ethically made and responsibly sourced. Creating an engagement ring with lab-grown diamonds and moissanite instead of mined diamonds offers several benefits:
1. Cost-effectiveness: Lab-grown diamonds and moissanite are typically more affordable than mined diamonds. This allows you to get a larger, more intricate, or higher-quality ring for the same budget. It can also free up funds for other important wedding expenses or future investments.
2. Ethical sourcing: Mined diamonds can sometimes be associated with unethical practices, such as forced labor or environmental damage. By choosing lab-grown diamonds and moissanite, you can ensure that your ring is ethically sourced and does not contribute to these issues.
3. Environmental sustainability: Diamond mining has a significant ecological impact, including deforestation, soil erosion, and pollution. Opting for lab-grown diamonds and moissanite reduces the need for mining, helping protect natural resources and ecosystems.
4. Equal or superior quality: Lab-grown diamonds have the same physical and optical properties as mined diamonds. They have excellent clarity, color, and brilliance.
Moissanite, on the other hand, has its own unique sparkle and brilliance that some people find equally attractive or even superior to diamonds. We actually created a similar engagement ring to Zooey's back in 2016 with three main centre stones and floral diamond accents, as you can see below:
