Old Hollywood Glamour with a Modern Twist

When it comes to iconic engagement rings, Nicole Richie’s custom, handmade sparkler by Neil Lane is a masterpiece we won’t soon forget. Nicole Richie—the daughter of music legend Lionel Richie and BFF to Paris Hilton—and Joel Madden—lead singer of Good Charlotte—began dating in 2006, tied the knot in 2010, and now share two children together.

Joel may have popped the question, but let’s be real—it’s Nicole’s creative touch that makes this ring a stunner. With a 4-carat round brilliant-cut diamond at the center of an octagonal diamond halo, this piece isn’t just jewelry—it’s a testament to Nicole’s impeccable style and vision for her forever ring.

The platinum setting and diamond halo bring a sophisticated, vintage vibe, making the center stone appear even more impressive. It’s got that old Hollywood glamour with the fresh, modern energy we’ve come to love from Nicole. In true celebrity fashion, the ring marries luxury with personal meaning—Nicole was involved every step of the way during the month-long design process. As jeweler Neil Lane put it, “Nicole wanted a beautiful, special ring and wanted to be intimately involved in the design… [She was] lovely and wonderful to work with on it!”

And let’s give major props to Joel for knowing the assignment—he left the design entirely in Nicole’s hands to create her dream ring. The result? A dazzling symbol of love estimated at over $200,000—and worth every penny. It’s chic, bold, and perfectly Nicole.

Whether you’ve been a fan since her Simple Life days or adore her as the fashion powerhouse behind House of Harlow 1960, this ring reflects everything we love about her. It’s sophisticated without being stuffy and glamorous without trying too hard—a perfect reflection of the woman who wears it.

We’re calling it now: this ring will go down as one of the most unforgettable in celebrity engagement history.
