Stacey Solomon proudly showed off her latest manicure on Wednesday, but instead of checking out her "summer holiday nails", our eyes were firmly glued to her sparkly new engagement ring!
It appears as though the Loose Women star has changed the rock on her left hand for the second time since her husband Joe Swash, 40, proposed on Christmas Eve in 2020.

"Gorgeous!! ……have you changed your engagement ring?" asked one fan, and another added: "New ring?????? Not the one Joe got you lol xxx." A third eagle-eyed fan remarked: "That's a third engagement ring, isn't it? I'm sure the changed one was square?"
Neil Dutta from Angelic Diamonds said the ring "features a super rare and beautiful emerald-cut 5ct diamond" and predicts it is worth £45k. Meanwhile, Maxwell Stone from Steven Stone stated it was a radiant-cut diamond that signifies "an outgoing and extroverted personality." Maxwell's estimation differed greatly from Neil's, as he suggesting it had a much higher value of around £300k.
Back in 2020, Stacey had originally received a halo ring after Joe popped the question during a family walk in the woods. She explained that it was made with Australian Opals – a sweet nod to their love story.

Shortly before she got married in 2022, Stacey pointed out that she had changed her ring to make it more "dainty" with a gold band, but assured fans that they used the same rocks when redesigning the ring.
"Joe also had my ring changed to gold because I wear more gold than silver. It's all the same stones but we moved them around a bit so it was more dainty for my fingers," she wrote.

© Karwai TangAmy added the new design was a more modern "timeless" rock. "Stacey's new design features the original diamond in a classic four-claw setting, this is a timeless design with the original halo diamonds now neatly set around the gallery rail of the setting (underneath the diamond) making the centre diamond the main focal point of the ring.
"This new setting is more open which allows light to reflect through the diamond easily maximising the diamond's sparkle," she said, before estimating its value was £35k.
Stacey and Joe recently marked their first wedding anniversary. They got married in the garden of their family home, Pickle Cottage in July 2022, surrounded by her kids Leighton and Zachary, his son Harry, and their children Rex and Rose. At the time, Stacey was pregnant with baby Belle.
