Forever Diamonds New York confirmed it was responsible for making the classic engagement ring, showcasing the style dubbed “The Britney” on its website.
Per the company, Forever Diamonds New York founder Roman Malayev created the sentimental bauble with Asghari’s input.
It features a round brilliant-cut diamond in a floating platinum solitaire setting with subtle sparkly details, like pave diamonds on the bridge, which are visible in profile, as well as flush-set diamonds on the prongs and basket, and a “secret message” beneath the bridge.

Asghari had his nickname for the songstress, “Lioness,” engraved there.
He chose a 4-carat center stone for the bride-to-be, Forever Diamonds confirmed.
Sister co-owners Christina Gandia Gambale and Jennifer Gandia of New York City jewelry store Greenwich St. Jewelers approve of the timeless solitaire style, offering several iterations in their bridal selection.
See several engagement rings from the company similar to Spears’ in the gallery below.
“Like Britney’s ring, the ‘Madison’ engagement ring features accent diamonds that set this timeless solitaire apart from the crowd,” noted Gandia Gambale. “It features a pavé diamond hidden halo on the basket and an airy cathedral setting.”

“The ‘Monroe’ has sculptural prongs that elegantly lift up the diamond. It’s perfect for someone who wants something timeless with a creative touch.”

“We designed the six-prong ‘Hester’ engagement ring to include sassy scalloped prongs, inspired by iconic downtown New York City architecture. It’s an eye-catching fusion of classic and modern,” Gandia Gambale said.
Here, the “Hester” is seen from a different angle.
Spears was previously engaged to her former agent, Jason Trawick, in 2011, but the two went their separate ways in 2013.
The pop star has been married twice before, to ex-husband Kevin Federline, who is father of her two sons, and childhood friend Jason Alexander in a quickie Las Vegas marriage and divorce.
Spears met her current fiancé when he starred in her “Slumber Party” video in 2016.
The two have dated for nearly five years, with Asghari notably standing by his other half during her highly publicized conservatorship legal drama.
