It’s that time again when fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty debate Team Jeremiah vs. Team Conrad. But in the latest episode, it seems one Fisher brother is gaining some extra points thanks to an engagement ring.
In Season 3, Episode 3, which aired on Prime Video on July 23, Belly Conklin (played by Lola Tung) announces her engagement to Jeremiah (played by Gavin Casalegno) in front of the family — including her ex, Conrad (played by Chris Briney), who has returned to Cousins Beach for his late mother’s memorial.
The Engagement Drama
While Belly and Jeremiah’s engagement causes tension and arguments, it’s not just the drama that’s catching fans’ attention. What’s really making waves online is Belly’s engagement ring.
Some fans have pointed out the small and dainty size of the ring, joking about its subtle appearance. One fan wrote, “Belly girl, what are you even trying to show off here? Is the engagement ring in the room with us?” on X (formerly Twitter).
Other fans, however, criticized those who are too focused on the materialistic side, arguing that Belly’s character values love over the size of the ring. One fan mentioned: “Y’all are so materialistic. Which woman doesn’t want to be proposed to with a beautiful, meaningful ring? Belly was proposed to behind a hospital after a traumatic event, with no ring. Let’s be real.”
Jeremiah’s Fans Defend the Ring
On the other side, there are some fans who support Jeremiah’s choice of the ring. One fan wrote, “Belly isn’t materialistic, she just wants to be loved, she doesn’t care about the ring,” while another commented, “The ring just SCREAMS Belly to me. Anyone who hates this ring doesn’t get her character at all.”
The Real-Life Engagement Ring
Whether you love it or not, the engagement ring is real and made by the Brooklyn-based jewelry brand, Catbird. The exact ring shown on Belly’s finger is the Diamond Fizz Ring, made with a recycled diamond set on a 14K gold band. It is currently available for $298.
According to the brand, the ring “evokes nostalgia of summer, first love, and lasting transformation — key themes of the series.” That’s why it was chosen for The Summer I Turned Pretty.
More Jewelry Inspired by the Show
Catbird, which was founded by Rony Vardi in 2004, also created a limited-edition collection for the series. The collection includes necklaces, rings, bracelets, and charms, all inspired by the show’s themes. Prices for the collection start at $44.
