The Valley star Kristen Doute finally got engaged to her beau, Luke Broderick. She recently received the proposal during a trip to Hawaii. And while it may seem like a surprise, Kristen has been manifesting this moment for quite some time. Ever the go-getter, Kristen designed her dream engagement ring almost a decade ago. And while her man at the time wasn’t the right one for her, ahem, James Kennedy, eventually she did get the right ring and the right man. So, what was the special engagement ring design that Kristen came up with ten years prior?

Kristen Doute feels her engagement ring is “the most perfect ring to ever exist”

It’s hard to believe Kristen is finally engaged. Longtime fans of Vanderpump Rules saw Kristen in numerous unhealthy relationships. From Tom Sandoval, James, and a little bit of Jax Taylor, it seemed Kristen’s taste in men wasn’t that great. Luckily, she turned it around with her new man, Luke. And even though it took her a while to find Mr. Right, she’s had the right ring in mind for almost a decade.

Heavy reported the details of the engagement ring and how it came to be. In unsurprising news, it was resident Bravo jeweler Kyle Chan who created the bauble for Kristen. Kyle is known for designing both Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney’s engagement rings. However, Kristen was first in line. She had approached Kyle with her design way back in 2015 while she was dating James. She dodged a bullet there!

Kyle shared the technical design aspects of the ring. He wrote on Instagram, “Here’s a closer look of this ring. It is 14 karat white gold, center diamond is a special elongated emerald cut diamond 4.27ct with hidden natural white diamond halo setting. Represents the love around the center diamond ‘Kristen.’”

Luke was aware of the ring idea as Kristen had filled him in on what she shared with Kyle. Then the rest was history! Both Kristen and Luke couldn’t have been happier with the design. They both took to Instagram to thank Kyle. Luke wrote, “You made the perfect ring for us!! Thank you so much!!” While Kristen concluded, “The most perfect ring to ever exist.”
