Part  3 of the Jessica Simpson-Nick Lachey Engagement Ring Series

Jessica’s First Diamond Engagement Ring

After going through the recent second marriages of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, let’s return with a smile to the halcyon days of the first diamond engagement ring. Nick Lachey sealed the deal with Jessica Simpson by giving her a five-carat round brilliant cut diamond that a diamond expert estimated cost about $500,000. The pear-shaped diamond was surrounded by two side stones and sparkled brilliantly when Nick proposed on a yacht off the coast of Hawaii. Ballard and Ballard Fine Jewelers of Orange County believe every couple should have such a magical engagement experience.

After taking a break last year from their three-year relationship-”Nick was patiently waiting for me to grow up a little,” says Simpson- the couple reunited after September 11. Says the bride-to-be: “I knew that I never, ever wanted to be away from Nick for the rest of my life.” The original story of the couple is a Hollywood dream story of two young lovers being brought together and celebrated in public with a beautiful diamond engagement ring celebrated as well..

On October 26, 2002, Lachey married Simpson.Nick Lachey married Jessica Simpson on a rainy October day at the Riverbend Church in Austin, Texas. Hundreds of candles and pale pink roses were placed throughout the church. The bride arrived in a 1937 Cadillac limousine with her mother. As “The Wedding March” played, the bride walked down a rose petal-covered aisle on the arm of her father. She wore a custom-made white strapless beaded Vera Wang gown, with a 11-carat Harry Winston pave diamond headband attached to her veil.

Unfortunately, such Hollywood dreams made glitzier by the media and television rarely last. Perhaps it was the pressure of the Newlyweds show on MTV, perhaps it was never meant to be, but in the end the marriage of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey fell apart. After the divorce, Jessica Simpson wore the diamond engagement ring on a chain around her neck for many years, and Nick Lachey would rarely comment on the failed marriage in public. Ballard and Ballard Fine Jewelers is happy that both of them found their true loves several years later and successfully remarried.
