Carl Woods was keen for fiancée Katie Price to have “the best” when it came to designing her eighth engagement ring, his jeweller has revealed.

How did Carl Woods design Katie Price’s engagement ring?

Carl, 32, approached the jewellers in east London to design the ring around six weeks ago.

Jodie Rankin told ED!: “It took around four weeks to make. He contacted us about six weeks ago.

“It’s a beautiful ring. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say much detail, but it’s quite a large centre stone – it’s a big ring!”

He wanted to make it the best it could be

Katie, 42, and Carl have enjoyed a whirlwind romance since meeting last year.

And it appears the former Love Island star was determined to make the ring just as special.

Furthermore, Jodie explained: “We went through quite a few stages of design and he knew what he wanted.
