The £10k Ring Designed For Pumpkin Spice Latte Lovers
Pumpkin spice lattes are more than a drink, they're a way of life. A fall favorite, the beverage has led to the creation of many PSL-inspired treats from baked goods and coffee creamers all the way to instant noodles and even air fresheners (via The Takeout). But, while you might think that you've seen it all, think again. We've got three words for you: pumpkin spice jewelry.
Ever since Starbucks released the sweet and spicy Pumpkin Spice Latte in 2003 (via Vox), the drink has had a cult following. Given that scent (along with flavor) can trigger neurotransmitters in the brain, The Walrus shares that pumpkin spice has been scientifically proven to generate feelings of coziness, comfort, and nostalgia related to the autumn season. Essentially, we crave a PSL because we crave feel-good vibes.
Appealing to this deep rooted desire for pumpkin spice lattes, a jewelry company based in northern England is now offering latte lovers a chance to commemorate that devotion with a dazzling PSL-themed engagement ring. And yes, it is absolutely gourd-geous.
Add some (pumpkin) spice to your proposal
Call it love at first sip: Angelic Diamonds has just crafted an engagement ring perfect for pumpkin spice latte die-hards. Featuring a rose gold band decorated with orange sapphires, white diamonds, and emerald stones, the company explains that the center of the ring boasts a whipped cream shaped diamond that's clustered by smaller, sparkling diamonds, and orange sapphires. The result is a ring that perfectly embodies a cup of pumpkin spice deliciousness both in shape and color.
Valued at £10,000 — or around $11,000 for us overseas — the sparkler is also engraved with the words "Pumpkin Spiced." Although engravings are open for customization, this one-of-a-kind ring is sure to turn heads.
Of course, what would a PSL-inspired engagement ring be without some equally-thematic packaging? The ring comes in a limited-edition pumpkin spice-scented ring box with a rose gold pumpkin closure latch. To drive home the coffee motif, the box is even covered in cardboard coffee cup wrap, because, why not?
