Cameron Brink's Engagement Details
Cameron Brink and her boyfriend got engaged in September 2024. Felter popped the question at Shangri-La Paris during Paris Fashion Week—and according to People, the proposal was a complete surprise. Brink was in town attending the Balenciaga show, and Felter, who is studying to obtain his master's in computer science at Stanford, previously told her he couldn't travel to the event because of work. But as Brink stepped onto the rooftop of the luxury hotel, she was met with her boyfriend down on one knee.
Although she has yet to share a close-up shot of her sparkler, we predict that Cameron Brink's engagement ring could be a radiant-cut solitaire diamond. "Cameron's ring appears to feature a 4- or 5-carat elongated cushion-cut diamond on a thin band," says The Clear Cut founder and GIA-certified gemologist Olivia Landau. "This style has been incredibly popular this year, and depending on the quality, the ring could be valued between $70,000 and $100,000."
