Sid Wilson’s Custom Engagement Ring for Kelly Osbourne Was Inspired by Joan Rivers’ Nickname for Her
Everything about Kelly Osbourne’s engagement ring was meant to “bee.” In a sweet video, Sid Wilson took fans behind the scenes of how he procured a unique band for his fiancée — revealing that he took inspiration from none other than the late Joan Rivers when honing the design.
In the clip posted Monday (July 7) to Instagram, the Slipknot musician works closely with designer Pascal Mouawad on creating a custom diamond ring. “I want it to be a special thing, not just something that anyone could have,” Wilson says in the video.
“I have a nickname for Kelly, and it’s ‘honeybee,'” he continues during his consultation with Mouawad. “And coincidentally, a friend of hers, Joan Rivers, used to call her this. I didn’t know this. It’s like an amazing coincidence.”
Wilson adds, “It’s because she would buzz around and spread all of this good energy around like a bee.”
Rivers and Osbourne cohosted Fashion Police together for years. After the sharp-tongued comedian died at the age of 81 in 2014, Osbourne said on Talk Radio 1210, “That woman loved me and took a chance on me in a way that no one I’ve ever worked with has … She became the grandmother I’ve always wanted and never had and one of my best friends.”
With that special connection in mind, Mouawad came up with an 18K yellow-gold ring decorated with white and yellow diamonds that form a honeycomb pattern. When Wilson sees the ring for the first time in the video, he covers his mouth in awe.
“It’s, like, blinding,” he says of the massive middle diamond. “It sparkles — she’s going to love that. Oh my God, I’m getting married. This is crazy.”
After decades of friendship, Wilson and Osbourne starting dating around January 2022. The couple got engaged at Ozzy Osbourne’s final Black Sabbath concert on July 6.
