Lainey Wilson's Statement Engagement Ring Is Getting Attention for One Reason
Lainey Wilson and Devlin "Duck" Hodges recently tied the knot, but it's not Wilson's wedding ring that's making a statement: it's her engagement ring.
According to Vogue, Wilson and Hodges were wed at the foot of a waterfall. Arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, the picturesque wedding took place on May 10. One week later, at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards in Las Vegas, TODAY.com said that all eyes were on Wilson's ring finger.
TODAY asked jewelry pros what they knew about Wilson's unique ring, including Anubh Shah, the co-founder of With Clarity, an engagement ring brand. Shah said Wilson's sparkly piece is a "diamond cluster ring with a cocktail ring aesthetic."
"Instead of featuring a single center stone, the design combines multiple diamond shapes - including oval, pear, marquise and round stones - arranged in a sculptural, floral-inspired cluster that feels bold and dramatic," Shah said.
TODAY also spoke with Patricia Curts, co-founder of the jewelry brand The Mexican Collection, who estimated the cost of the ring.
"This one has a wide range depending on factors you simply can't determine from photos alone: Diamond clarity, color grade and cut quality all move the needle considerably," Curts said.
Despite this, she estimated the ring costs between $50,000 and $250,000 or more, since the primary diamonds appear to be about 2.50 carats each.
After turning heads with her engagement ring, Wilson turned heads on the stage of the Academy of Country Music Awards. Performing her song "Can't Sit Still," the awards show called it "a perfect performance to kick off the 2026 #ACMawards."
Fans couldn't get enough of the performance, taking to the ACM Awards Instagram comment section to show their support.
"Lainey is an absolute ICON and @nappytabs [choreographers] crushed this performance 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 so so so so good," one fan commented.
"Perfect way to start the night off," another user said. "We love our Lainey."
