An exterior with real sparkle

Maryland-based specialty retailer Smyth Jewelers and jewelry designer Uneek Fine Jewelry have installed the world’s largest engagement ring outside Smyth’s store in Timonium, Maryland.



The ring stands 17 ft. tall and measures 14 ft. wide. It is modeled after a Uneek Jewelry design and took over a year to fabricate and install. (To see a video, click here.)



Smyth and Uneek are inviting folks to visit the ring, take photos — and maybe even pop the question.



Baltimore-based advertising agency TBC, agency of record for Smyth, worked with Smyth to concept, design and build the world's largest engagement ring.



"Smyth has been around for more than 100 years; they are engagement experts," said TBC chairman and COO Allan Charles. "The ring will be a place for people to celebrate their love.”
