Gentlemen: be advised that, in a proposal sort of a situation, you should only present jewelry designer Solange Azagury-Partridge's one-carrot ring (above)—from her soon-to-launch "Tough Love" bridal collection—to your intended bride if she has a fantastic sense of humor. (Having a back-up engagement ring with an actual diamond handy might also be a good idea.)

"It's just a little joke, really," Azagury-Partridge told WWD. "You can even have the five-carrot ring, if you wanted. I could put five carrots there."

Those who adore Solange Azagury-Partridge's eponymous whimsical jewelry collection will appreciate her eccentric, literal take on the institution of marriage, courtship, engagement, and all those social rituals. "Tough Love," the 30-piece bridal collection, launches this May and will be priced from $1,500 to $226,000.

"The thing about love is that it's not all birds tweeting in trees, is it?" Azagury-Partridge said about the collection name. "Some parts are tougher than others, and, if you want to hold the love, it can be hard at times."
