Molly Mae and Tommy are engaged! Their love story began in the summer of 2019 when they both entered the infamous Love Island villa. As fate would have it, their paths crossed, and from the moment they laid eyes on each other, their connection was undeniable. From flirty banter to heartfelt conversations, viewers could see sparks flying between the two. Their romance has now culminated in a fairy tale engagement and have you seen the ring!?
The Story So Far
Throughout their time on Love Island, Molly Mae and Tommy's relationship blossomed, and they quickly became one of the show's most beloved couples. Their genuine affection for one another and the respect they showed for their fellow islanders won the hearts of millions, and they emerged as strong contenders for the coveted title of Love Island champions. After leaving the villa, their love story only continued to flourish. They supported each other through thick and thin, both in their personal lives and career.
Fast forward to the 23rd July 2023, when the world learned about the couple's next exciting chapter. On a stunning oceanside clifftop decorated with white flowers, Tommy was waiting for Molly. Whilst holding Bambi, their six month old daughter, he proposed to his beloved Molly Mae Hague. The heartwarming proposal video was shared on their Instagram accounts, leaving fans and followers thrilled and emotional.
The Ring
Now for the ring! Molly Mae's 5 carat oval diamond engagement ring in platinum is a sight to behold. The sheer elegance and simplicity of this stunning piece has left her audience in awe, readily awaiting more photographs and details.
From what we can see, the captivating 5 carat oval cut diamond certainly takes centre stage. The diamond itself is exceptional quality - said to be near colourless with a perfect VVS1 clarity, so it's evident Tommy did his research. Set in a lustrous platinum band, this design is very current, with oval solitaires being the hottest trend of engagement rings right now. The combination of the impressive carat weight and the graceful oval shape creates a truly sleek, modern and show stopping piece of jewellery that's rumoured to have cost a whopping 1 million pounds.

Get Your Own Molly Mae Ring (saving money and the planet!)
A large oval diamond platinum engagement ring is a timeless choice for those seeking a sophisticated and sleek ring. Oval cut diamonds are renowned for their brilliant sparkle and elongated shape, which creates a flattering and elongating effect on the finger. The platinum setting complements the diamond perfectly, providing a strong and durable foundation while also enhancing the diamond's brilliance.
However, you don't need to spend a million to get a ring like Molly's. Depending on the size, quality, and brand of the diamond, the cost of a large oval diamond platinum engagement ring can range significantly - and thanks to lab grown diamonds and moissanite, you can get a ring for much less without compromising on quality.
Lab grown diamonds and moissanite are two alternatives to mined diamonds that have been steadily gaining popularity in recent years.
One of the primary advantages of lab grown diamonds and moissanite is their lower cost. Mined diamonds are often expensive due to the complex process of extraction, cutting, and polishing required to bring them to market. On the other hand, lab grown diamonds and moissanite are created in controlled environments, allowing for lower production costs. As a result, consumers can purchase larger, more exquisite pieces of jewellery without breaking the bank. This affordability makes lab-grown diamonds and moissanite a great option for buyers who want a stunning piece of jewellery without the hefty price tag.
In addition to their affordability, lab-grown diamonds and moissanite are also considered to be more ethical and environmentally friendly alternatives to mined diamonds. Traditional diamond mining has been associated with various social and environmental concerns, including labour exploitation, destruction of ecosystems, and the financing of conflict. By choosing lab grown diamonds or moissanite, consumers can be confident that their purchase has not contributed to these issues.
The lab grown equivalent to Molly's ring of 5ct, VVS1 clarity and E colour would estimate to cost around £29,000.
The Ethica Diamond® moissanite equivalent to Molly's ring of 5ct, VVS1 clarity and E colour we estimate to cost around £10,000.
