Close-up: the original oval-cut solitaire
- Center stone: Oval-cut diamond, reported to be around 6 carats.
- Setting: Four-prong mount on an 18-karat yellow gold band.
- Accents: Three smaller diamonds on each side of the center stone.
- Meaning: The side stones symbolize the couple’s blended family of six children.
The ring was made in collaboration with the jewelry brand Wove. Company representatives said the design prioritized personal symbolism over sheer carat size.
The alternate design: a toi et moi with mixed cuts
Gina also revealed a second ring that Mullen had drafted at the same time. It follows a toi et moi concept, pairing two distinct stones on one band.
- The visible shapes appear to be a pear and an emerald cut.
- She wore this dual-stone ring on her right hand during the TV appearance.
- Details such as metal type and total carat weight for this piece have not been announced.
How the proposal came together
Mullen proposed on New Year’s Eve after nearly seven years together. He gave Gina the custom oval solitaire and asked her to approve the final design before they settled on it.
According to Wove’s CEO, the groom-to-be was intentional about each element. The design choices were meant to reflect their relationship and family dynamic.
Reaction and remarks on national TV
Host Andy Cohen asked if the initial prototype had been updated. Gina confirmed the solitaire is the real ring and explained why she kept both designs.
She said she loved both rings and didn’t want to change the original look, which is why Mullen presented them with two finished options.
Wedding timing and life plans
Despite being engaged, Gina made it clear she is not rushing a wedding. She told viewers she’s focused on business, investments and saving for college.
- She described marriage as a long-term journey.
- Wedding plans are on hold until other priorities are met.
- When the time is right, she expects to celebrate in big style.
What the jeweler said about intent and design
Wove’s leadership emphasized that the ring’s significance goes beyond looks. The brand framed the piece as a thoughtful statement about family and commitment.
Intentional details were prioritized over flash, a spokesperson told media outlets when the ring was unveiled earlier this year.
