Why choose one ring when you can have two?
“Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gina Kirschenheiter showed off her two engagement rings from fiancé Travis Mullen.
“Has Travis updated the ring from the prototype yet?” host Andy Cohen asked during her Thursday appearance on “Watch What Happens Live.”
Mullen notably proposed to Kirschenheiter with a custom ring, with the promise that she could approve the design before committing.
“Yes! This is my real ring,” Kirschenheiter said, showing off the original oval-cut, solitaire diamond sparkler he popped the question with.
“Actually, fun fact, so when he first was designing this, he designed two rings, and I love them both, but I really didn’t want to change anything, so he also got me the other one,” she said as she whipped out her other hand — revealing the second ring, which features two stones in a toi et moi design.
While we don’t have further details on the dual-stone ring worn her right hand, it appears to feature both an emerald- and pear-shaped stone.
Mullen popped the question on New Year’s Eve after nearly seven years of dating with a 6-carat, oval-cut diamond ring with a symbolic design.
Made in partnership with Wove, the ring features an 18-karat yellow gold band with four prongs setting the center stone, which symbolizes the couple as one.
The jewel is flanked by three small diamonds on each side to represent their blended family of six kids.
“From the very beginning, this ring was about far more than carat weight or aesthetics — it was about meaning,” Bernie Dufrene, the CEO of WoveMade.com, told People in January.
“Travis was incredibly intentional in wanting every detail to reflect his love for Gina and the blended family they’ve built together.”
“The ring is absolutely perfect!” Kirschenheiter gushed to the outlet at the time. “The thought he put into it blows my mind.”
When it comes to the actual wedding, however, the reality star admitted on “WWHL” she’s in no rush to walk down the aisle.
“I’m not planning a wedding, honestly I’m taking my time,” she admitted, adding there’s no date for the big day yet.
“I feel like marriage is a marathon. Why do we have to sprint to get that done? I’m building a business, I’m making investments, I’m saving for college. That’s my focus right now, and then once I’m through that, I’m going to throw a rager,” she said.
