Betrothed Couple: Jodie Sweetin + Mescal Wasilewski

Engagement-Ring Style: Marquise-Cut Diamond on a Pavé Band

Betrothed Couple: Megan Fox + Machine Gun Kelly Engagement-Ring Style: Toi et Moi Diamond and Emerald Ring

Full House fans have known Sweetin since she starred as

Affleck took the hint that Lopez considers green to be her lucky color, choosing an 8.5-carat green fancy vivid diamond, an exceedingly rare stone that could be worth up to $10 million. As is often done with colored diamonds or gemstones, Lopez’s green diamond is set in prongs of 18k yellow gold to enhance the design’s focus on its center stone,
