As far as engagement rings go, there's the standard issue engagement ring (a diamond), then there's the really fancy engagement ring (a bigger diamond), and there's the celebrity engagement ring (a diamond so big it practically wears the wearer). On a completely separate spectrum, however, there's the phenomenon known as the Victoria's Secret model engagement ring, which, in this most recent case, is really just two engagement rings pretending to be one.

First, let's dive into the intricate, celebrity-ridden proposal. Supermodel Shanina Shaik got engaged to DJ Ruckus in the Bahamas over the holidays — specifically, inside the private beach owned by his cousin, Lenny Kravitz. Lest you assume this was the most extravagant part of the occasion, it was not. DJ Ruckus had not one, but two rings designed for her so that she could choose her favorite, according to People, and since the two rings were designed back in Los Angeles, Denzel Washington was tasked with picking them up and delivering them to the proposal site. How A-list actor Denzel Washington became involved in the affair is not clear, but if he wanted to hang out with Lenny so bad, he could have just asked.

Even Denzel Washington acting as a literal errand boy wasn't the most celebrity-esque element of this celebrity proposal. It's that the engagement ring Shanina ended up choosing has a second diamond on the underside of it, facing her palm. People notes that on the opposite end of the outward-facing gold hexagon-cut diamond, diamonds and amethysts spell out their their initials, G and S (Ruckus' real name is Greg). Consider this the Fantasy Bra of engagement rings.
