The jewellers which reportedly designed Mariah Carey's £1.25 million wedding ring has confirmed that the band was created specially for the songstress.

It was previously reported that the band adorning Mariah's left hand was the same one that her new husband Nick Cannon had given his previous fiancée, model Selita Ebanks.

A spokesman for Jacob and Co told In Touch magazine that Nick helped design the opulent 17-carat platinum ring, which boasts an emerald-cut fancy light-pink centre diamond, 58 intense pink smaller gems and two half-moon diamonds on each side.
