Cindy Crawford has a deeply personal piece of jewelry that represents her late son, Presley Gerber, and the unbreakable bond she shares with her family. Years before Presley’s death at age 27, the supermodel revealed that her husband, Rande Gerber, gave her three eternity rings for their 20th wedding anniversary.

Each ring was chosen to represent one member of the family: Rande, their daughter Kaia Gerber, and Presley. However, the story behind the gift has taken on heartbreaking new significance as Crawford and her family mourn the devastating loss of their only son.

Rande Gerber Gave Cindy Crawford Three Eternity Rings

Crawford first explained the meaning behind the jewelry during a 2023 appearance at the Planet OMEGA exhibition in New York City. “For my 20th anniversary, my husband gave me three eternity rings,” Crawford told PEOPLE Magazine.

She then revealed why Rande had selected three separate pieces rather than one traditional anniversary ring. “One [eternity ring] was to represent him, one was to represent Kaia, and one was to represent Presley [Gerber],” Crawford explained.

The couple married in May 1998 and welcomed Presley in July 1999. Kaia followed in September 2001. Although the rings were given to mark Crawford and Rande’s marriage, the gift ultimately honored the entire family they had created together.

Cindy Crawford Planned To Pass A Ring Down To Kaia

The sentimental jewelry came up while Crawford and Kaia discussed which pieces from the supermodel’s closet her daughter might eventually inherit. Crawford said the eternity rings were among the meaningful items she “would give” Kaia in the future.

However, she drew the line at handing over her engagement ring. “I wouldn’t give her my engagement ring because probably whoever proposes to you, you’ll want to choose the ring, even though that is a special piece as well,” Crawford said.

Kaia playfully revealed that the engagement ring was exactly what she had been considering. “I was going to choose your engagement ring!” Kaia responded. “But you can have that one. You need to wear it. I know… I’ll take the eternity ring.”

• Cindy Crawford’s son reportedly did not arrive sober when he entered rehab shortly before his death at age 27.
• Crawford reportedly “never stopped” trying to save her son as the family pushed back against criticism of her parenting.
• The supermodel shared hopeful plans for her family just 10 days before her son’s death.
• One of Presley Gerber’s former girlfriends posted an emotional tribute following his passing.
• Crawford was reportedly “in shock” over her son’s “devastating death.”

The Gift Now Carries A Heartbreaking Meaning

Crawford’s comments were made three years before Presley’s death. She has not publicly said whether she has continued wearing the rings since his passing.

The family has requested privacy, and the meaning the jewelry holds for her today remains personal.

Cindy Crawford Publicly Celebrated Her Son Before His Death

The eternity ring was not the only way Crawford demonstrated the importance of her relationship with Presley. In July, she marked his 27th birthday by sharing photographs of him as a child. “I’m so proud of the man you’ve become, but I’ll always see you as my little boy!” Crawford wrote.

She also publicly supported Presley when he shared details about undergoing ibogaine treatment in Mexico earlier this year. “You are a warrior! Walked thru the fire to find yourself! So proud!” she wrote in response to his candid post.

Presley had described feeling “absolutely terrified” before undergoing the controversial treatment, which he pursued as part of his effort to address his addiction.

Crawford and Rande later attended Presley’s final public appearance at a mental health-focused event in Malibu in June. There, he spoke about the freedom he found by becoming honest about his struggles. “The most free I felt was when I was finally honest with myself,” Presley told the audience.
