Jenna Bush’s Engagement Ring

The Internet used to go nuts every time a bit of bling landed anywhere near one of the first twins’ left hands.

So it practically imploded when Jenna Bush got engaged in August.

In a fall “20/20″ interview with Diane Sawyer, Bush revealed a few details of her engagement to Richmond native Henry Hager.

She even held the ring up for inspection. It had belonged to her fiancé’s great-grandmother, Bush said, but he had it reset.

Sawyer said Bush’s twin, Barbara, their mother, Laura, and Hager’s mother, Maggie, helped design the ring, a platinum (or white gold?) band set with a round diamond between two blue sapphires.

The band features what appears to be a circle of small diamonds; it’s hard to know exactly, despite numerous online photos of Jenna Bush’s hand as she signs her book, “Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope,” steps off Air Force One or tries to go about daily life.

Choosing a Unique Engagement Ring

Worrying about whether she will say yes is stressful on its own.

Pile on the responsibility of having to choose the perfect ring and say just the right thing, then we’re headed into break-down territory. Especially if you want the proposal to be a complete surprise.

That’s how Joseph Bauer did it. He liked the idea of a surprise unveiling of the engagement ring. Although his was a success story, finding that perfect ring took some time.

“I had no idea where to start,” said Bauer of St. Paul, whose fiancée lives in Mankato. “All I knew is that I wanted to propose and that I wanted to find a ring to fit her personality.”

Like most guys, Bauer wanted a ring that was unique — one that no one else had and that would stand out from traditional engagement rings.
