The rules of engagement suggest you have to, at least, have a ring on the finger in order to say yes when proposed to. Not according to The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' star Taylor Armstrong.
RadarOnline.com has learned the mother-of-one agreed to marry her fiancé, silver fox John Bluher, in a blaze of publicity… but without the one thing needed to solidify their love — a ring!
"Taylor's ring is being made currently," Los Angeles jeweler Ari Soffer confirmed via email. "Her ring is a one of a kind that John and I designed together… Once the actual ring is finished we will happily share photos."
When it is, RadarOnline.com is told, the ring will have one-hundred and twenty-one diamonds!
The 18-carat gold piece will feature 56 diamonds on a pattern of the fleur de lis and 65 diamonds around the band.
Taylor and Bluher, a Colorado-based attorney, became engaged last week on a Mexican beach, nearly two years to the day her allegedly abusive husband Russell committed suicide via hanging.
But sealing the deal without the bling will inevitably raise questions about whether or not the pair orchestrated their union to stay in sweet with producers of the hit Bravo show, who as we first reported, had wanted to phase her out of the show, believing she was "boring.
Not anymore, right?
