Machine Gun Kelly's engagement ring for Megan Fox is a little prickly
Taking “love is pain” to a different level.
In celebration of the contemporary engagement in Puerto Rico this month between rapper Machine Gun Kelly (Colson Baker) and actress Megan Fox, MGK worked with designer Stephan Webster to design a one-of-a-kind ring which showcases the bond they have.
"The concept is that the ring can come apart to make two rings. When it's together, it's held in place by a magnet. So you see how it snaps together? And then it forms an obscure heart." - Machine Gun Kelly
This unconventional ring truly celebrates the unbreakable bond, unique culture, and undeniable connection the couple has... but it is a little bit intense, right?

The addition of thorns represents that “love is pain”.
The addition of the emerald stone and diamond represent the birthstones of Megan and MGK, respectively.
Megan's birthstone is an emerald which is a symbol of rebirth. MGK’s birthstone is the diamond. This holds a significant meaning that is thought to provide the wearer with better relationships, as well as increased inner strength.
This six carat ring was revealed to cost around R4,645,123!

MGK sparked the interest of his followers when he posted a video of Megan showing off her bling on January 11, with the caption: “Yes in this life and every life."

Rumoured to be a throwback to emo culture, the ring is a symbol of their love. They have distinguished themselves as a couple who are dabbling in a pop funk, vampire craze.
There is just one thing we can’t stop thinking about… what happens when Megan has to remove the ring?

Will she be experiencing this painful love on a daily basis and will MGK’S ring also have thorns in it?
The gesture seems to tie back to the glory days of emo music, long fringes, and super skinny jeans; it emphasises love as a tortured longing, a till-death-do-us-part whirlwind, as a fight for control.
Many have already taken to social media to express their concerns about the “abuse and torturous” ring…
