Jan 7, 2019 12:33 AM CUT Michelle Yeoh arrived at the [76th annual Golden Globes](http://time.com/5482844/2019-golden-globes-what-to-expect/ "undefined") rocking the iconic ring her character Eleanor Young wore in _Crazy Rich Asians_. In the movie, Eleanor is frequently seen wearing the emerald ring. She eventually gives it to her son, Nick, so he can propose to his girlfriend, Rachel, in a move that comes to symbolize her approval of their relationship. > [](https://twitter.com/jenyamato/status/1082046163451166720) The ring, which comes from Yeoh’s [personal jewelry collection](https://www.vulture.com/2018/08/crazy-rich-asians-proposal-scene-the-backstory.html "undefined"), was back on her hand on the red carpet at the 2019 Golden Globes. She told [_The Knot_](https://www.theknotnews.com/crazy-rich-asians-emerald-ring-32686 "undefined") last year that it felt important Eleanor’s ring to feel authentic. “It was very important for it to be real,” she said. “And Eleanor was a character who knew what she wore had to be flawless. Her \[own\] mother-in-law did not approve and did not give her the family ring at the end of the day… so that ring had to be very special.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5495063/golden-globes-2019-michelle-yeoh/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5495063/golden-globes-2019-michelle-yeoh/"},"headline":"Michelle Yeoh Wore the Actual Emerald Ring From Crazy Rich Asians to the 2019 Golden Globes","datePublished":"2019-01-07T00:33:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:43.004Z","description":"Michelle Yeoh arrived at the 76th annual Golden Globes rocking the iconic ring her character Eleanor Yang wore in Crazy Rich Asians.","url":"https://time.com/5495063/golden-globes-2019-michelle-yeoh/","keywords":["Newsfeed","awards"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6f798148178fd8f9/698942bcbc6cfcd0ae3e7da7/michelle-yeoh-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Mahita Gajanan","jobTitle":"Gajanan is an editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/mahita-gajanan/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6f798148178fd8f9/698942bcbc6cfcd0ae3e7da7/michelle-yeoh-golden-globes.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"NBC's \"76th Annual Golden Globe Awards\" - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"NBC's \"76th Annual Golden Globe Awards\" - Red Carpet Arrivals","creditText":"Todd Williamson/NBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5495063/golden-globes-2019-michelle-yeoh/","name":"Michelle Yeoh Wore the Actual Emerald Ring From Crazy Rich Asians to the 2019 Golden Globes"}}]}] ```
