Lily Collins Gets Back $80,000 Diamond Ring After 3 Years – ‘Speechless’ as Precious Rose-Cut Sparkler Returns Home!
In heartwarming news that’s melting fans’ hearts, Lily Collins has recovered her original diamond engagement ring nearly three years after it was stolen from a West Hollywood hotel spa!
The Emily in Paris star, 36, shared the joyful update on her Instagram Stories on March 6, 2026, posting a beaming photo of the iconic ring back on her finger.
“So grateful to @joethejewelerchicago for helping recover my original engagement ring after it was stolen almost three years ago,” she wrote. “Having this home means SO much to us. I’m still speechless it’s back on my finger.”
The unique one-of-a-kind piece—a rare rose-cut diamond (with a light pink hue, bezel setting, and thin gold band)—was custom-designed by jeweler Irene Neuwirth in collaboration with her husband, writer-director Charlie McDowell, for their 2020 engagement.
Valued at around $80,000–$125,000 (estimates vary), the sentimental ring was swiped along with her wedding band and other items during a May 2023 spa visit at the Edition Hotel in West Hollywood.
The theft made headlines, with police investigating a suspect linked to organized crime, but the jewels vanished until now.
Collins and McDowell (married since 2021) have kept the recovery details private, but the actress credited Chicago-based Hakimian Imports (Joe the Jeweler) for tracking it down and returning it safely.
Fans flooded her comments with congratulations, calling it a “miracle” and praising the emotional significance of getting the “perfect” symbol of their love back.
This comes amid Collins’ busy life—starring in Emily in Paris Season 5 buzz and family time—proving some stories have the happiest endings. The ring’s return has sparked renewed admiration for its ethereal, see-through design and romantic backstory.
