“It was about mixing simplicity with volume, which is very difficult to do.” Rosado included only two other (relatively) small, tapered baguettes on either side of the center stone, a look that he says he devised after having conversations over the years with Carey about the styles she prefers.

“What is really most interesting about the ring are the proportions-the stone is so large, but we were able to create a beautiful balance with the overall simplicity of the design,” says Rosado. The design and construction took two weeks and an “army of craftsman” that included measurement specialists and an expert well versed in the handling of such a large stone. “I took the standards super high, and I wanted to create a ring that could not be measured up to,” says Rosado. Packer called on jewelry designer Wilfredo Rosado, a friend of Carey’s for more than 25 years, to create the showstopping ring. It’s even a couple of points up from Liz Taylor’s famously spectacular 33 carats courtesy of Richard Burton. Yes, you read that correctly: 35 carats-just about the same size as both Kim Kardashian West’s and Beyoncé’s engagement rings combined.
