She told Jay Shetty her 22 closest people each contributed a “petal” to the floral design.

Overview

  • Watson wore the ring on her left ring finger at Miu Miu’s Paris Fashion Week show on Oct. 6, prompting online engagement chatter later dispelled by her prior explanation.
  • On the On Purpose podcast, she said the piece marks a celebration with friends and chosen family, with 22 contributors symbolized in the ring.
  • Reports describe a floral-style cluster with a center diamond and 22 baguette “petals,” a piece she previously wore on her right hand at the Venice Film Festival.

  • Coverage notes she keeps her personal life private despite past reports linking her to Kieran Brown, and outlets stress there is no engagement confirmation.
