In arecent interview withGQ, Asghari said that he sought help from his sisters and a friend while shopping for an engagement ring, as he didn’t want anything “super big and super celebrity.”
“I want it to represent something. I want it to come from my heart and I want it to go to someone that wasn’t a big jeweler,” he said. “It was a big company, but it was a company that was willing to do it the way that I wanted it. So I designed a really beautiful ring. It’s a princess cut, for a real life princess.”
