Your stolen engagement ring is back - Lily Collins reunites with her stolen engagement ring after three-year search
Actress Lily Collins has recovered her stolen engagement ring, nearly three years after it was taken from a luxury hotel. The one-of-a-kind piece, designed by jeweller Irene Neuwirth, holds deep personal significance for the star. Collins shared her relief on Instagram, calling the return 'speechless' news for her and her husband, director Charlie McDowell.
The theft took place in May 2023 at the Edition Hotel on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Collins was visiting the spa when the ring, along with her wedding band, disappeared from the hotel safe. The stolen items were valued at over $10,000, prompting a response from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, who confirmed the burglary at the time.
The ring, a rose-cut diamond designed by Neuwirth, was originally gifted to Collins by McDowell in September 2020. It was crafted to match her dream design, making its loss particularly devastating. After a lengthy search, the piece was eventually returned by Hakimian Imports, a Chicago-based jeweller, though no details have emerged about how it was recovered.
Collins, 36, is currently preparing to star as Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming film about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany's. The recovery of her cherished ring comes as a welcome moment amid her busy career.
The ring's return brings closure to a difficult chapter for Collins and McDowell. The actress has since shared her gratitude online, confirming the piece is back in her possession. No further details about the investigation or recovery process have been made public.
