Lebron James, Savannah Brinson Engagement Ring Details

Lebron James proposed to his longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson on New Years Eve and we have the details on her beautiful 7- carat engagement ring plus more pictures from the night of the proposal.

The Miami Heat star along with help from his NBA buddy Dwyane Wade who served as the ring holder dropped down on one knee and asked his girlfriend and mother of his two children to marry him. Wade said the moment was beautiful, Chris Bosh said it was “very nice” and Chris Paul and his wife Jada Crawley sent their congratulations via Twitter. But the man of the hour said his fiance who joined other engaged stars in at the close of 2011 was happy!

“My girl, she’s very excited. She was surprised. It was great that all the friends and family were there to bring in a new year. I feel good. I feel good. It’s a good point in my life right now.”

Back to the beautiful engagement ring. Jewelry designer Michael O’Conner told US Weekly,

“LeBron rules, on and off the courts! He scored a slam-dunk with this magnificent platinum and diamond engagement ring, featuring a 7-carat pear-shaped center diamond with classic tapered baguette sides. We haven’t really seen this style of ring with a large pear-shaped center diamond since another great love affair: Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
