Kate Hudson's Engagement Ring Details!

Bling, baby bumps and now - Mrs. Bellamy? Kate Hudson's engagement ring made its dazzling debut with Matt Lauer on the Today Show this morning - and boy is it a doozy. 

UsMagazine.com reports the ring is likely a 9-carat rock - which isn't in the Mariah Carey (17-carats) or Beyonce (18-carats) stratosphere, but it's certainly of a caratage befitting the A-list.

The center stone appears to be an emerald-cut gem (actually, it looks a lot like Beyonce's engagement ring) with baguettes on either side set in a white metal - which for this crowd means platinum. One of my favorite Tweeps, Jean from Francesca Fine Jewelry tells me it's worth an estimated $200,000!

Will be on the lookout for more specs, but it's surprising to see such a 'traditional' look on Hudson, who is known as the queen of alternative fashion and boho chic.

Kate later told Lauer that wedding plans will be taking a back seat to all things baby, as she's expecting her second child with hubby-to-be, Matt Bellamy, in the next few months. 

Babies, bling and betrothal! Now that's a triumvirate worth babbling about!

I don't know what I like more ... the ring or Kate's approach. She seemed genuinely sweet and happy about it all!

Totally agree, AKB. I'm a huge K-Hud fan. Thanks for the tips, Jean. Hope you both will be joining me for the Royal Wedding Live Tweet on Friday morning! Use #royaljewelry and your best British accent!

Why did I have it in my head that they were already engaged? Weird. Anyway, I hope things work out well for Matt and Kate. Can't wait to see if they have a boy or a girl!
