The Perfect Engagement Ring

Sir Paul spends £395,000 on perfect ring for fiancée When music legend Sir Paul McCartney proposed to his new fiancée last week he demonstrated that - 
despite having been burned in the past - all you need is love… and apparently an enormous engagement ring. 

The Beatles star got down on one knee for the third 
time to ask his long-term girlfriend, American heiress,  Nancy Shevell, to marry, presenting her with a 
unique art deco-style engagement ring. 

The piece of ultra-high-end designer jewellery is said to be worth £395,000, with the bulk of the value 
being in the rare, round main diamond,thought to be 
in excess of five carats. The platinum setting also 
features strips of black onyx along the sides. 


Sir Paul worked closely with famed jeweller, Neil Lane, to design the piece, stating that he wanted to create 
something "truly exceptional". 

"It has a beautiful vintage feel to it," Lane told People magazine. "Very romantic, elegant and glamorous but with a bit of cool glitz and rock and roll."

Sir Paul proved that his disastrous wedding to Heather Mills has not put him off true love, and it appears that his new bride could not be more different to his second wife. Nancy is said to be adored by Sir Paul's children and, 
as the daughter of a freight and shipping billionaire who has in the past been described as "richer than God", is 
certainly not in it for the money.
