Although the designer is most widely celebrated for his Chanel designs, this new Karl Lagerfeld collection of engagement rings proves that his talents are all-encompassing.
The rings are made in collaboration with jewelry company Frederick Goldman, with the products featuring elegant and perfectly delicate designs. It has been reported that the new Karl Lagerfeld rings were made with millennials in mind, with the designer looking to appeal to the generation now getting married. The collection contains only two rings, both of which are artfully encrusted in stunning diamonds. The two are completely different from one another however, with one forming the shape of a flower and the other a more traditional and geometric circle shape. On the inside of the ring is the designer's engraved signature, making the luxury rings more desirable for fans of the iconic fashion figure.
