They’ve described themselves as “twin flames,” forging a connection that they openly share with the world through social media and interviews.

Their relationship has been a rollercoaster of passion and intense devotion, drawing headlines for their over-the-top displays. 

Whether it’s Fox’s poetic declarations or Kelly’s symbolic gestures, the couple’s bond has always carried an air of intrigue and mystery.

One of the most significant moments in their love story came when Machine Gun Kelly proposed to Megan Fox under a banyan tree, a place tied deeply to their relationship.

What set this engagement apart wasn’t just the grand gesture but the extraordinary thought behind the engagement ring.

The ring, custom-designed by renowned jeweler Stephen Webster, is a breathtaking piece that symbolizes the couple’s love in intricate detail. 

It features two gemstones: a Colombian emerald representing Megan’s birthstone and a diamond representing Kelly’s, crafted into teardrop shapes.

When combined, the emerald and diamond form an obscure heart, symbolizing the unity of two souls. 

Kelly revealed that the emerald was a rare, untreated Colombian gemstone carved straight from the mine, adding to the uniqueness of the piece.

What makes the ring even more intriguing is its innovative design. 

It can split into two bands, held together magnetically when joined, creating a seamless, symbolic connection. However, there’s a striking feature that sets it apart—its bands are crafted from thorns.

In an interview with Vogue, Kelly explained the deliberate inclusion of thorns in the design. “The bands are actually thorns, so if she tries to take it off, it hurts,” he said, emphasizing the sentiment that “love is pain.”

This unconventional addition sparked debates among fans and critics alike, with some admiring the bold concept while others questioned its practicality. 

The intricate design of the ring reflects Kelly’s meticulous approach to capturing the essence of their relationship.

Jeweler Stephen Webster described the magnetic detail as both “modern and extraordinary,” highlighting the craftsmanship involved in its creation. 

Experts have estimated the ring’s value to be between $300,000 and $500,000, owing to its high-quality gemstones and unique design.

Machine Gun Kelly took to social media to share the story behind the ring, describing it as two halves of the same soul brought together to form a heart.

 “I designed it to be two: the emerald (her birthstone) and the diamond (my birthstone) on magnetic bands of thorns,” he wrote.

Their engagement announcement came with an equally dramatic twist.

Fox described the moment in an Instagram post, writing, “And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes… and then we drank each other’s blood.”

The couple has always embraced their eccentricity, with this engagement being no exception. 

From wearing vials of blood to declaring their eternal bond, Kelly and Fox have never shied away from breaking norms to celebrate their love.

But the story of the pain-inducing ring didn’t end with their engagement. Despite the symbolic design meant to keep it on forever, Fox eventually removed the ring after their engagement was called off last year.

Though their engagement ended, their story didn’t. Recently, the couple surprised fans with the announcement that they are expecting their first child together.

The engagement ring, with its thorns and symbolism, will forever remain a testament to a love story that captivated millions with its daring and unconventional nature.
