Jason Trawick's jeweller talks Britney's engagement ring

He's used to designing red carpet worthy jewellery for Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Hudson and Reese Witherspoon with little fanfare, but Hollywood's favourite jeweller, Neil Lane can't keep quiet about his latest project - Britney Spears' engagement ring.

Thought to be worth around $100,000, Neil told People magazine that the ring's "mini crown" tiara-motif was inspired by Jason's nickname for Britney, "princess".

Neil also revealed just how much involvement Jason had in creating the sparkler, even though he was jetting around the world with his new fiance on her recent tour.

"Texts came from all over the world", he told the magazine. "From Abu Dhabi, Mexico and I don't know where else!"

Britney's ring was designed from scratch by Neil in LA, as a three-month joint collaboration between the jeweller and the singer's new fiance, ex-manager, Jason. The eternity band contains 90 small round diamonds, with a four-carat, flawless clarity, colour D (white) Neil Lane diamond sitting on top.

"Jason didn't want an over the top ring with a giant stone", he added.

It may not be Kim Kardashian's 20.5-carat, $2m engagement ring but we think it's absolutely beautiful. Oh and hopefully this marriage will last a bit longer!
