At the 2024 Grammys, Keltie Knight made a stunning return to the red carpet. But this time, it wasn't just her glamorous dress that caught everyone's attention. Knight proudly displayed her brand new, 'bigger' diamond ring that replaced the unfortunate loss of her 4-carat stone at the 2024 Golden Globes just a few weeks ago.
For the Grammys, the E! News reporter donned a plunging yellow long-sleeve dress that perfectly complemented her new accessory. Her eye-catching ring, a 14K yellow gold creation, showcased a dazzling 5-carat princess diamond that Knight had designed in collaboration with With Clarity. The esteemed jeweler had reached out to Knight after hearing about the infamous 'Diamondgate' incident at the Golden Globes, offering their support.
The ordeal had taken place on January 7th when Knight, the host of Lady Gang podcast and 42 years old at the time, lost the diamond from her 10-year anniversary ring on the iconic red carpet. The incident not only left her feeling foolish but the fact that her ring was uninsured added further distress. As if that wasn't enough, the entire incident played out in front of a worldwide audience, exacerbating the embarrassment.
In the aftermath of 'Diamondgate,' Knight candidly shared her experience, recounting instances where complete strangers approached her with inquiries about the missing ring, whether she had found it or not. Unfortunately, her original diamond was never recovered. She humorously speculated that it may be stuck to the bottom of someone's shoe or perhaps blended in with Jennifer Lopez's rose cape. Consequently, it became evident that replacing the ring was the most sensible course of action. And Knight decided to go 'bigger' this time, opting for a magnificent 5-carat stone.
With her new ring securely adorning her finger, Knight proudly showcased it on the red carpet, effortlessly posing for photographers. She revealed to PEOPLE that even her dress choice for the evening was intentionally coordinated to complement her new bling.
'I specifically chose my red carpet dress to match with the new ring!' she excitedly proclaimed.
Amidst her happiness over her upgraded jewelry and her hope that 'Diamondgate' is now firmly behind her, Knight has learned an invaluable lesson from the entire experience. She now advocates for everyone to diligently check and insure their precious pieces, ensuring that similar mishaps can be avoided in the future.
As Knight enjoyed her triumphant return to the red carpet, it's evident that her resilience and positivity prevailed. Her new ring now serves as a symbol of newfound confidence and a reminder to cherish and protect the things that hold sentimental value in our lives.
