Why Joe Swash Redesigned Stacey Solomon's Ring Days Before Their Wedding

Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon tied the knot last weekend in a beautiful ceremony at their home, Pickle Cottage.

Before the big day, Stacey, 32, had been updating followers on all the important preparations for the weekend, including beauty prep, decor and her brand new hair 'do.

Stacey also told fans how Joe had had her engagement ring changed in the run up to the wedding.

The mum-of-four previously had a halo-style engagement ring with a pavé band, but has since revealed a new 'daintier' style.

"Joe also had my ring changed to gold because I wear more gold than silver. It's all the same stones but we moved them around a bit so it was more dainty for my fingers," she explained.

Now, one gemologist has revealed the change of the design could also make the ring 'sparklier'.

Amy Jackson from Prestige Pawnbrokers, which featured on Channel 4's Posh Pawn, told HELLO!: "Stacey's new design features the original diamond in a classic four-claw setting, this is a timeless design with the original halo diamonds now neatly set around the gallery rail of the setting (underneath the diamond) making the centre diamond the main focal point of the ring. 

"This new setting is more open which allows light to reflect through the diamond easily maximising the diamond's sparkle."

On Thursday (28 July) evening, Stacey released the first photos from the day - and they're stunning.

Posting a collection of professional photos from the magical day, Stacey wrote: "Forever. Me and My Husband. I don’t think I will ever get used to saying that. It all feels like a dream."

She went on to add a quote from Dr Seuss, which read: “You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

The TV personality continued: "The most special day that we didn’t ever want to end. We love you all & the special community we’ve built on here so so much and couldn’t wait to share these moments with you.

"Joe lost his father at the age of 11 and so did my dad. A huge part of our wedding day was reflecting on how this had a huge effect on them and how hard it is, even to this day to deal with."

We're so happy for these two!
