NFL Star Metcalf Designs Unique Engagement Ring for Normani

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — NFL star DK Metcalf has crafted a stunning 4-carat engagement ring for singer Normani, with a highly personalized design process that underscores his deep commitment.

Metcalf, 27, confirmed his relationship with the 28-year-old singer in July 2023 and expressed his intent to propose during a recent public appearance. He reached out to celebrity jeweler Jason Arasheben, founder of Jason of Beverly Hills, to create a diamond ring that was not only breathtaking but also timeless. “This is going to be my most important purchase I’ve ever made,” Metcalf told Arasheben.

“He wanted to create a ring that’s going to be timeless, something that she’s going to love not only now but 50 years from now,” Arasheben recalled. Metcalf had a clear vision for the ring, favoring an oval-cut diamond embellished with roughly one carat of additional diamonds set in 18-carat white gold.

Throughout the three-week design process, Metcalf was actively involved in every detail of the ring’s creation. “He was very intentional with every little design element,” Arasheben noted. “He wanted to see how the ring was being put together and give his creative input on every aspect, from the basket design to how it would all come together.”

According to Arasheben, Metcalf’s commitment to crafting the perfect ring surpassed previous engagements where the groom typically stays uninvolved. “This was very different,” he explained. “He wanted to be in control of everything so that it would be a complete surprise to her.”

In a world where many grooms delegate the decision-making process, Metcalf’s hands-on involvement made this ring truly special. “This is somebody that’s very special to him, and he wanted to create something personal that would be very special to her,” Arasheben remarked.

Finally, the moment came for Normani to receive the ring, which occurred on a significant date. “The true joy for a jeweler is seeing the recipient’s reaction when she opens that box,” Arasheben reflected on Normani’s reaction. “To see how excited she was made me feel like I did a good job.”

The engagement coincided with their announcement on a televised platform, showcasing Normani’s radiant joy as she displayed the dazzling engagement ring. “I’m just happy that the blessing about being in my position is I get to be part of people’s momentous and unforgettable occasions in their life,” Arasheben concluded.
