Haribo sweet rings and Hula Hoops crisps have long been jokey place holders for engagement rings.

Whether the couple wants to pick something out together, or it's a spur-of-the-moment proposal, the sweet jewellery has made many a couple happy.

You can now get a diamond-encrusted Haribo ring instead, if you're feeling fancy. Valentine's Day is fast approaching, what could be better than this candy coated proposal. 

The ruby red band includes 224 diamonds and is topped with an 18-carat yellow gold basket of 40 diamonds and a 2.70c carat cabochon yellow sapphire to create the ultimate proposal ring for your childhood sweetheart.

You could buy 12,000 of the Haribo rings for the cost of this piece of jewellery. The diamond version could be yours for £25,000.

Kate Earlam-Charnley, Design Director at Taylor & Hart said: "We thought it was the perfect time to bring this brand new design to life. Combining custom cut rubies and a syrupy cabochon yellow sapphire, this ring is one of the most ambitious we've ever created and definitely one of the most original."

She added: "Made for the daydreamers, the hopeless romantics, those in search of something a little more pure and innocent, this ring is the perfect expression of love.

"It'll certainly make a great story while also saying 'love is forever'. We can't wait to hear 'Yes' stories from our customers across the world!"
