A look into the story behind when Will Smith ended up buying Jada Pinkett Smith&#039;s stunning engagement ring.

The Story Behind Jada Pinkett Smith’s Stunning 12-Carat Engagement Ring From Will Smith

In the world of Hollywood, engagements are seen as a huge deal. While most
celebrities choose to go all out when they decide to pop the question, that was
not the case for Will Smith [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] and
Jada Pinkett Smith [https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jada-pinkett-smith/]. The
actress may have her rock now, but it did come a little late. Her current
12-carat engagement ring has been talked about in many fashion magazines.
However, she has never flaunted the grape-sized rock before.

Ever since their engagement back in 1997, the 52-year-old has only given the
public rare glimpses at her husband’s display of love. However, what id the
story behind this rarely-sighted ring?


JADA PINKETT SMITH’S ENGAGEMENT RING FROM WILL SMITH

Back in November 1997, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith decided to commit to
each other for life. As the actor chose to propose in a more private and
intimate setting, he had not come prepared. Their engagement happened on the
same day they found out they were expecting their first child together, Jaden
Smith. With the proposal being so sudden, the actress ended up not getting a
ring.

However, 10 years later, the 55-year-old actor ended up gifting his wife a
12-carat stunner. It was a Graff diamond ring with baguette stones on both
sides. The ring even reportedly cost the actor about $250,000. After a long
wait, the actor seemed to combine her engagement and even push presents into one
and purchase the sparkly ring. While he may have outdone himself with the ring,
it was not The Matrix star’s first.

Once Jada’s memoir, Worthy, came out last year, it was revealed that the actress
had initially decided to buy her own engagement ring shortly after the Bad Boys
actor popped the question.


THE REASON JADA PINKETT SMITH CHOSE TO BUY HER ENGAGEMENT RING

Just last year, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith took over headlines due to the
Red Table Talk host’s book tour. While she reacted to the slap gate incident

her Worthy memoir also shared why she had bought her engagement ring. She
revealed that it was her way to retain control and prepare herself for what was
to come. It was her way of telling herself to “get with the program.”

Just the day after the star’s proposal, she went out and bought “a nice-sized
pear-shaped diamond set in a platinum band.” While her ring might have been
stunning, there is no doubt it paled in comparison to the ring bought by the
King Richard star.
