Spotted on Instagram: Lauren Conrad’s wedding ring! The thin, diamond-studded band was hidden in plain sight in a recent posted pic, delicately stacked beneath her rock of an engagement ring. That rose gold stunner was featured in its own #relfie just over a year ago, right after now-husband William Tell popped the question. But ever since their dreamy September nuptials, the former Hills star’s feed has been mani-gram free, leaving us to daydream about the style and design of the elusive band until today. Even this post was fairly sneaky with a caption typed to draw your attention straight to LC’s sheer nude mani — thankfully for us ring seekers, her bling was just too distracting.
Now that we can see it, we love it, and it’s sparked a new love affair with wedding ring sets. Once you’re done swooning over LC’s diamond and rose gold pair, scroll through five more made-for-each-other stackers.
1. Curved Gold Ring ($380) + Pear Diamond Engagement Ring ($610): Non-traditional brides will fall for this offbeat pair in a heartbeat. We love the way the delicate curved band dips to let the pear-shaped rock take center stage.
2. Alternate Moissanite and Gold Engagement Rings ($545+): Mixed metals prove that opposites attract. Plus, the way the distressed wedding band mimics the diamond’s facets means your rock will stand out even more.
3. Diamond Ring With Pave Crown ($1,100) + Thin Diamond Eternity Ring ($720): A small pave crown makes a traditional solitaire diamond even more extra special while the thin eternity ring helps to balance out the bling.
4. Faceted Wedding Ring Set ($850): We’re enamored with the way this distressed design looks so luxe — all thanks to the ultra high-shine finish… oh and that diamond helps too :)
5. Gray Diamond Sotto Voce Ring ($635) + Black Rhodium Equilibrium Cuff Ring ($485): A gray diamond in a rose gold band? Sounds like seventh heaven, especially when stacked above an impossibly cool cuff ring.

It can be intimidating to step out on your own and build a business from the ground up. As part of our collaboration with Office Depot, we're talking with Selfmade alum and solopreneur Colette Lawrence, the faith-based motivator and relationship builder behind The M.E.E. Movement, about ways in which women in business can find success.
B + C: How did you know M.E.E. Movement was your business to start?
The M.E.E Movement represents motivation, empowerment, and encouragement for women. It is what represents me. I did not know at first that it was my business to start, but then the thought of monetizing what I loved came to me. It scared me, however. I registered the business in July 2020 and have been slowly building my wings since.
B + C: What's one strategy that's helped you start your business?
Thinking through and researching what the requirements are to start my business, and then asking questions of people who are in the business. Not all advice worked; however, it helped me to figure out what I needed to do and not to do.
B + C: Did you always know life coaching would be your entrepreneurial path?
(Smiles) No, I did not. I 'stumbled" on it. I knew that people were always coming to me for advice and I found that I loved having conversations with them, especially with women, young and old.
B + C: What was your most valuable takeaway from Selfmade?
My most valuable takeaway was the first day of training: Get out of your own way. There were a lot of great moments and important takeaways from every presenter. However, getting out of my own way, pushing past doubts, was for me my most valuable takeaway. Doing something that I had never done before took courage. If I do not focus on what is happening with me mentally then I cannot deliver to my clients successfully.
B + C: What's one piece of advice you would give to female entrepreneurs on the brink of starting?
Get out of your head. You have something to offer. You have what you need to succeed so go ahead and do it.
B + C: How do you stay motivated?
I stay motivated by listening to music and listening to motivational speakers, and sometimes someone will just reach out and talk about the impact that I made in their life. That adds the extra juice or sauce I need to pummel through the day.
B + C: What's your best organizational tip?
Keep a diary and journal. It's the best way for me to keep organized and it also provides a source motivation as I record not only my "losses" but my wins as well.
B + C: Who inspires you in the entrepreneurial space?
Shirley Toliver – She motivates and empowers and makes me always want to show up.
B + C: What has receiving the Office Depot scholarship to Selfmade done to help you start or grow your business?
The scholarship was a blessing in that all the areas that were covered offered valuable information that I needed, from social media to HR. As a new business owner, I needed to know this to increase my own personal awareness in what it takes to run a successful business. The candidness of the presenters made it easy to see myself in their shoes and helped me to realize that I can also get there.
