Emma Watson’s Left-Hand Ring Isn’t an Engagement Ring

Watson says the diamond piece is a communal gift from 22 friends that symbolizes the life and community she has built, not a relationship announcement.

Overview

  • Watson wore the ring on her left ring finger at Miu Miu’s Paris Fashion Week show on Oct. 6, prompting online engagement rumors.
  • Coverage from Us Weekly and ELLE notes she is not engaged and points to her September On Purpose podcast for the ring’s explanation.
  • On the podcast, Watson said 22 close friends each contributed a “petal” to the ring, which she called one of her most precious possessions.
  • The ring features a center round-cut diamond surrounded by 22 baguette cuts, and its designer has not been confirmed.
  • She previously wore the same piece on her right hand at the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 6, a placement that drew less speculation.
