Joey King’s Engaged, And Her Pricy Ring Is Super Unique
Safe to say, she’s graduated from The Kissing Booth.
Congrats are in order for Joey King and Steven Piet! The actor and executive producer duo have been dating since 2019, and they announced their engagement on Instagram on March 1. Taking to the ‘gram, King wrote, “The date was 2/2/22 when you asked me to marry you and made me the luckiest lady alive... Hanging out with you forever sounds like a real dream, so let’s do it.” Not to mention, she got a ~beautiful~ piece of jewelry to mark the occasion. King’s unique engagement ring is stunning, but it has a steep price tag to go with it. So let’s talk details.
In her post, King tagged Mociun, a fine jewelry and home goods retailer in Brooklyn, New York, that specializes in custom engagement rings. The jeweler offers plenty of unique stone options, and it looks like King and Piet selected an elongated oval diamond, complete with smaller black gems, set in 18K gold.
“With the balance of black and white, transparent and opaque, soft and angular, the design of this piece reflects the harmony of opposing energies that our universe so often points us to,” Caitlin Mociun, founder and designer of Mociun, tells Elite Daily. “In designing this piece, I started with the soft oval, brilliant cut diamond, placing the more delicate shapes at the base and the sharper shapes at the apex of the ring. In particular, the black spinel was custom cut into oblong shapes to help further feature the softness of the center stone.”
And yes, it cost a pretty penny. On Mociun’s website, the ring is called Structure of Cosmos from their Balance collection. Though its price is no longer available, similar options on the site cost between $30,000 and $45,000. Speaking to Us Weekly on March 2, Olivia Landau, founder and CEO of fine jewelry brand The Clear Cut, guessed that the ring would retail for between $20,000 and $30,000.
Still, the couples’ romantic words about their engagement may be even more beautiful than the sparkler. Their captions? Pure poetry! King wrote, “I never knew happiness could be so powerful that it can take the air from your lungs, overwhelming every part of you that you can’t help but feel your eyes well from the undeniable joy. I never knew that a persons presence and heart could feel like a real home.” So sweet.
And when Piet also shared the engagement photos on his Instagram, his caption was just as moving. “The weather was less than perfect. Cold. Windy. Perfectly imperfect to ask my best friend to spend a lifetime together. A lifetime of incredibly safe and vulnerable conversations. Holding hands on silent cab rides home, exhausted from great food and red wine. And oh, the laughter. The uncontrollable laughter,” he wrote before adding, “You've unlocked a dimension of love in me that I never knew existed.”
Best wishes to the happy couple — and serious congrats on that stunning ring.
