They said diamonds are the girls’ best friend. That’s why when a guy asks for a woman’s hand, they offer a diamond ring as a sign of their commitment and loyalty. Colin Jost clearly did his homework as he gave his now-fiance Scarlett Johansson a stunning band.
11-Carat Engagement Ring
While some celebrities wear under-emphasized engagement rings, Jost made sure that his future wife would stand out among all engaged Hollywood stars. In May 2019, Jost gave Johansson a state-of-the-art 11-carat diamond ring in exchange for her hand for marriage.
The Estimated Price Tag for it Ranges Between $200,000 and $400,000
The public and media went crazy about how splendid and beautiful the ring was. According to the reports, Jost got it from Taffin’s James de Givenchy. Diamond experts are in a debate regarding the estimated price tag of the ring. Some are saying that an elegant piece like that probably costs $200,000 while some believe it’s around $400,000.
The vice president of Shane Co. Alicia Davis said a rare diamond like Johansson’s engagement ring could cost even more than $400,000. Several gemologists and data scientists agreed with Davis’ statement. Colored diamonds particularly a light brown is hard to find. Plus they used an old cut method giving it an antique style, which adds to its value.
If that’s the case, Johansson’s engagement ring belongs to the group of the purest and rarest type of diamonds. Type IIA diamonds have no nitrogen impurities, unlike the standard ones. Famous pieces of its kind include the Cullinan and Koh-i-Noor.
Colin Jost on Marriage
Before Jost met Johansson, he admitted that he never saw himself getting married. Judging the relationships of the married couple around him, he thought marriage is not a necessity, and it would just screw his life. But after two great years with the actress, he finally felt ready to settle down and have kids.
Scarlett Johansson’s Previous Marriages
On the other hand, Johansson had two previous marriages with Ryan Reynolds and Romain Dauriac. She first tied the knot with Reynolds in 2008 and got divorced in 2010. In 2014, she exchanged vows with Dauriac and had one daughter with him. They ended their marriage in 2017, the same year she started dating Jost.
The couple first met on the set of Saturday Night Live in 2006. The two were rumored sharing intimate moments behind the scenes of SNL. People confirmed that they were seen making out during the SNL season finale party. They just confirmed their relationship at the 2017 Emmy Awards and have been publicly hanging out since then.
Jost never missed supporting Johansson for her achievements such as premiere nights and awards. Now, he’s even more ready to take a bigger role in the actress’ life as her husband.
