NFL star Deshaun Watson and model-author Jilly Anais tied the knot in dazzling style on July 3 in Miami with an opulent celebration that put diamonds front and center. The couple showcased matching wedding bands with a combined total of more than 50 carats — custom creations that are already making waves across social media and the jewelry world.
Designed by luxury jeweler Vikar Ahmed, Watson’s band features more than 34 carats of D-color, internally flawless emerald-cut diamonds. The Cleveland Browns quarterback flashed the ice-packed ring on TikTok alongside his new bride, who wore a matching 16-carat diamond band. Both rings were made in Germany and reflect, according to Ahmed, “the pinnacle of craftsmanship.”
“These wedding bands not only symbolize an unbreakable commitment to love, but also embody perfection in craftsmanship,” Ahmed told TMZ Sports. “Together, they represent radiant brilliance and extraordinary artistry.”
The groom’s ring is estimated to be worth between $1.1 million and $1.3 million, while Anais’s band is valued between $500,000 and $650,000. But beyond the price tags, the coordination of the couple’s jewelry reveals a deeper design narrative: Anais’ band is a flawless complement to her show-stopping engagement ring, also designed by Ahmed and famously dubbed “The Glory Treasure.”
That engagement ring — boasting a massive emerald-cut center stone with a diamond band totaling over 20 carats — made headlines earlier this year with an estimated value exceeding $2 million. The continuity between Anais’ engagement ring and her new wedding band reflects the couple’s keen attention to detail and dedication to timeless elegance.
In their wedding-day TikTok, the couple joyfully displayed their sparkling ring fingers while still dressed in their formalwear. Anais’ caption simply read, “July 3, 2025 [diamond ring emoji],” confirming the date of their nuptials.
The Miami ceremony was an intimate affair. Eschewing a traditional wedding party, the couple selected their brothers as best man and man of honor. Afterward, the newlyweds jetted off to the South of France for a honeymoon planned entirely by Watson.
In an interview with SI Swimsuit, Anais said of the romantic getaway, “I’m still on cloud nine.”
From touchdown passes to high jewelry, Watson and Anais continue to capture attention with rings that radiate star power.
Watson is expected to start the 2025 NFL season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list due to an Achilles injury. He underwent surgery in January to repair a torn Achilles tendon and will miss a significant portion of the season.
