Big congratulations are in order for longtime couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. The couple took to their respective Instagram accounts this morning to announce their engagement, which, judging by the myriad of heart-shaped balloons in the background, appeared to have happened on Valentine’s Day. And the gemstone in Katy Perry’s engagement ring was certainly in keeping with the theme. Bloom gave her a stunning ruby and diamond ring that resembles a flower, a detail that we’re quite sure the fun-loving musician adored.
Colored gemstones have long been a celebrity favorite, with the most recent fellow celeb to receive one being Heidi Klum, who is joined by Kate Middleton, Penelope Cruz, Olivia Wilde, and Zoe Saldana, to name a few. While not quite as durable as diamonds, colored gemstones are the go-to way to make an engagement ring feel unique and special.
