(PRESS RELEASE) Bespoke jewelry brand Taylor & Hart has created a diamond-encrusted Haribo-inspired ring that you can *actually* propose with after being inundated with requests.
The ruby red band includes 224 diamonds and is topped with an 18 karat yellow gold basket of 40 diamonds and a 2.70 karat cabochon yellow sapphire to create the ultimate proposal ring for your childhood sweetheart. You could buy over 12,000 of the sweet Haribo treats for the cost of this ring, which could be yours for $34,300.
We’ve all used a jelly candy ring to jokingly ask our friends to marry us when we were kids, haven’t we? Inspired by childhood dreams of marriage and ‘forever love’, this Haribo-inspired ring features a vibrant red and yellow color palette that harks back to an age of fun, play and being home in time for tea before the street lights come on.
Kate Earlam-Charnley, Design Director at Taylor & Hart said: “With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we thought it was the perfect time to bring this brand new design to life. Combining custom cut rubies and a syrupy cabochon yellow sapphire, this ring is one of the most ambitious we’ve ever created and definitely one of the most original.”

Bringing some sweet nostalgia to adult life
Prepare to feel some intense nostalgia as you catch a glimpse of the candy-inspired creation lighting up the streets. Taylor & Hart wanted to bring this concept of playground proposals out into the real world and create a story of make-believe made real.
The inspiration behind the ring
Designed for the kids-at-heart, crafted for love
So why did Taylor & Hart choose to make this Haribo-inspired ring as its latest bespoke design? Since its release in the early 1980’s, Haribo has been a firm favorite of Americans, and has been named one of the top candy treats in the world. The friendship rings are often the first to go out of the packet and so this design was a perfect fit.
Kate continued: “Made for the daydreamers, the hopeless romantics, those in search of something a little more pure and innocent, this ring is the perfect expression of love. It’ll certainly make a great story while also saying ‘love is forever’. We can’t wait to hear ‘Yes’ stories from our customers across the world!”
