Olivia Wilde's engagement ring made a big splash when she first stepped out with it in early 2013. She and actor Jason Sudeikis confirmed their engagement to the media on January 12, 2013.

People's First Capture

  On January 15, 2013, People captured shots of the ring, which Olivia offered coyly while on the set of The Third Person in Rome, Italy. Those early shots were so blurry, but People went ahead and made a guess that the ring featured "a large, elevated brilliant-cut diamond." They did learn one detail from Ms. Wilde's rep. They wrote, "...the bauble is an antique." It is hard to discern whether they meant that the entire ring is antique, or if one of the stones is an antique.

At Second Glance

  Our next glimpse of her ring came in the form of, again, blurry pictures at a Knicks game the following month. The shots from the game were still too far away to get a clear look at the ring. It was definitely round, and there was more than a hint that People got it wrong on their first guess. With a mild hint of color and a sense of more than one stone in the ring, it was becoming evident that we might have a unique style to ogle over.

Third Time's A Charm

In March 2013, two sources confirmed that Ms. Wilde's engagement ring actually features a round diamond surrounded by a halo of emeralds. It turns out that the actress went fairly unconventional on all counts--a small diamond, emerald accent stones, and yellow gold (as opposed to the far more popular platinum or white gold). This is about all we got, until Ms. Wilde made her big reveal to Lucky magazine, posted online in May of 2014. In addition to opening up about being someone's 'hall pass',  activism, and the perks of pregnancy, Olivia also shared the scoop on her engagement ring.

The Big Reveal

By her own report, Ms. Wilde's engagement ring is a vintage ring with a story that placed it in Paris around 1921. "I love imagining the story of this ring. Who had it?" said the actress as she turned it 'round and 'round on her finger. "Jason said it reminded him of my eyes, which is very sweet," she said of the slightly aqua-colored emeralds surrounding the central diamond.

One Last Luscious Tidbit

We received one last luscious tidbit after Jennifer Aniston spilled some beans to Alicia Quarles of E!Online. "Somebody helped on the ring, in fact," she said. "Not me, but my fiance did...He just guided him in the right direction." And there you have it! Straight from the mouth of a fellow Hollywood superstar, Justin Theroux helped guide Jason Sudeikis to find the perfect ring for his bride-to-be.
