She replaced the sparkler with a silver band featuring a blue gem in the middle.

Despite navigating her marital woes and having to file a request for a restraining order against her estranged spouse, Christine appeared in high spirits as she mingled with other attendees.
The star was reunited with Selling Sunset stars Nicole Young and Davina Potratz as they posed for snaps at the event.
This marks the first time since the mother-of-one has been seen since Christian was arrested twice in the span of 48 hours last week.
According to new court documents, Christine claims that after she called him out for the 'lack of effort' he was putting in their marriage, things turned volatile, according to Us Weekly.
The Texan, who owns two Yorkshire Terriers, stated that Richard pulled out 'dog feces' from the trashcan and hurled it at her.
'I then locked him out, and our son and I spent the night in the master bedroom,' Quinn claimed in her court documents. 'I could hear him continuing to shout and yell, and could hear him smashing and breaking things through the house.'

It was previously claimed Richard had thrown a bag containing a glass bottle at Quinn but missed and hit their son instead - but Richard is now alleging the row erupted over Quinn's dogs urinating on his belongings - with the entrepreneur denying hitting their son, per TMZ.
Earlier this week, Richard filed his own request for a temporary restraining order (TRO) that seeks to enforce a 'legal forcefield around him' - which he says is essential in light of Quinn's domestic violence allegations against him - which he denies.
Richard claims the two family dogs are not housetrained and urinate and defecate all over their LA home - and says Quinn refuses to have them trained.
He claims he discovered the two dogs had 'urinated all over some valuable belongings of his' despite him blocking off the area from the dogs.
Richard claims when he went to confront Quinn about he found her in their bedroom with cleaning supplies and other items 'strewn about all over.'
He says he became angry and picked up a trash bag on the ground - which he claims was full of soiled rags and paper towels - and threw it against a wall.
Richard denies throwing the bag at Quinn and denies hitting their young son, while also denying the bag was filled with glass. He says this information was relayed to Quinn by police.
After the bag was thrown Richard claims he tried to escort his son away from the scene but claims Quinn grabbed their son and holed in another room in the house.
Richard says police came in with guns raised and arrested him over 'lies' Quinn had told them.

He further claims Quinn filed a false police report and 'fabricated' domestic violence allegations against him to use as leverage in a potential divorce and custody battle.
Richard claims Quinn wants to 'embarrass him' which is why she called police. A judge has yet to approve his request for the TRO.
DailyMail.com has contacted Christine Quinn's representatives for comment.
The update comes amid reports that Quinn is reportedly moving to ensure that her estranged husband Richard is kept far away from her and their son.
The Selling Sunset star has been meeting with lawyers to set in motion a temporary restraining order against Richard (real name: Christian Dumontet), according to TMZ.
Additionally, sources claimed that the reality star is planning on leaving her husband and filing for divorce.
Quinn currently has a week-long emergency protective order against her husband, but she will need to petition the courts for another restraining order once it runs out.
Sources told TMZ that she is in the process of meeting with attorneys to plan out her next steps.

The TV personality is reportedly planning to detail her entire history in order to secure a restraining order, and the sources describe their marriage as being a series of ups and downs.
She's reportedly ready to make additional serious allegations against her estranged husband relating to their interactions out of the spotlight, and the lawyers are reportedly helping her to navigate those issues.
Although sources previously told Us Weekly on Thursday that Quinn plans to file for divorce from Richard, her first priority is making sure that he can't come near her or baby Christian.
Ultimately, the sources allege that she wants a permanent restraining order against Richard, though she will likely have to start with a temporary restraining order.
The insiders add that Quinn's relationship with Richard feels irreversibly damaged now, so a reconciliation between the spouses is unlikely.
Her emergency restraining order against her estranged husband only lasts for seven days, so she will need to have filed for a temporary restraining order by Wednesday in order to keep a legal barrier protecting herself and her child.
Quinn's terrifying saga spilled into the spotlight on Tuesday, when Richard was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, with his bond set at $30,000.
LAPD spokesman Jeff Lee told DailyMail.com: 'A victim and a suspect were involved in a domestic dispute when the suspect threw a bag at the victim with a glass bottle inside of it. It missed the victim, but that object struck a child.
'The suspect was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.'
Christian was subsequently taken in an ambulance to a hospital for treatment with his mother by his side, according to TMZ.
Richard was seen in a bathrobe last Tuesday as he was led into a squad car by police after his arrest.
He subsequently made bail, but was shockingly arrested a second time on Wednesday after he violated the emergency restraining police had offered Quinn by visiting their home.
Although Quinn and her son were reportedly not at the home at the time, Police arrived with guns drawn and did a search of the home before taking Richard into custody.
An eyewitness on the scene alleged that police could be heard shouting for Richard to 'Come out with your hands up.'
LA County Sheriff's records indicate that Richard posted another $30,000 bond and was released hours after the second arrest.
A source told Page Six that Quinn and her son were staying at a separate 'safe' location, and that someone else had allegedly called the police on Richard.
Quinn and Richard were originally introduced via a mutual friend, and the tech founder proposed to her on Valentine's Day of 2019.
The couple were wed in December of that year in a ceremony with a winter wonderland theme featuring an unusual gothic twist, including Quinn's black wedding dress.
They welcomed their son Christian in 2021.
The blonde beauty is best known as a breakout star on Netflix's reality series Selling Sunset, in which she sold luxury homes for the Oppenheim Group for five seasons.
Her final season on the show featured allegations that she had tried to bribe a client.
