Heather Rae Young, star of the Netflix reality series Selling Sunset, has revealed a major upgrade to the engagement ring she received last year from HGTV celebrity Tarek El Moussa.

The original band, which was “minimalist,” has been replaced by one that features “miniature versions of emerald-cut diamonds placed around the ring,” Hollywood Life reports. She wrote on Instagram that she and her fiance designed it together.

The couple have been engaged since July 2020, when El Moussa, best known for his hit show Flip or Flop, presented Young with the 8.08-carat emerald-cut diamond during a romantic beachfront proposal. El Moussa recruited jewelry designer Benny Hayoun of Los Angeles-based Benny and the Gems to help him source the perfect stone.

El Moussa hinted at the time that the ring was a work in progress.

“Right now, I just got her the main stone, but what I want to do is design the rest of the ring together,” he said at the time. “I provide the stone, and now we actually build the ring.”

Here are photos of Young wearing the ring before the update.

Wilkerson Testimonials | Sollberger’s

Going Out of Business Is an Emotional Journey. Wilkerson Is There to Make It Easier.

Jaki Cowan, the owner of Sollberger’s in Ridgeland, MS, decided the time was right to close up shop. The experience, she says, was like going into the great unknown. There were so many questions about the way to handle the store’s going-out-of-business sale. Luckily for Cowan, Wilkerson made the transition easier and managed everything, from marketing to markdowns.

“They think of everything that you don’t have the time to think of,” she says of the Wilkerson team that was assigned to manage the sale. And it was a total success, with financial goals met by Christmas with another sale month left to go.

Wilkerson even had a plan to manage things while Covid-19 restrictions were still in place. This included limiting the number of shoppers, masking and taking temperatures upon entrance. “We did everything we could to make the staff and public feel as safe as possible.”

Does she recommend Wilkerson to other retailers thinking of retiring, liquidating or selling excess merchandise? Absolutely. “If you are considering going out of business, it’s obviously an emotional journey. But truly rest assured that you’re in good hands with Wilkerson.”
