<p id=”par-3_36″>Neil Dutta, Managing Director of the U.K. jewelry retailer <a href=”https://www.angelicdiamonds.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Angelic Diamonds</a>, shared several details about Bowe’s engagement ring that he described as “practical” and explained why Knight chose a ring like that for her partner. </p>
<p id=”par-4_66″>Dutta told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “The ring is a slim gold band with inlaid diamonds rather than a raised centre stone. The diamonds are flush-set into the band, keeping the profile low and practical. Given Brittany’s job, it’s great that Hilary has chosen a design that is both comfortable and durable. There are no high settings or exposed claws, which makes it easier to wear daily.</p>
