Hugh Hefner Ring: Runaway Bride Crystal Harris Given Second Sparkler (PHOTO)
Crystal Harris recently debuted the engagement ring given to her by her fiance Hugh Hefner and onlookers could not help but observe the uncanny resemblance it has to the model's first ring.
The 26-year-old, dubbed a runaway bride by the media, made headlines in 2011 when she called off her wedding to the Playboy honcho at the 11th hour. Now the pair is again preparing to walk down the aisle, and Harris has been flashing her new sparkler all over Twitter.
"My beautiful ring from @hughhefner," Harris tweeted on Dec. 11 alongside a link to various photos of the ring.

Hefner, 86, was left heartbroken after Harris got cold feet, although he is now ready to give her a second chance. The couple has not confirmed a wedding date.
"I've given Crystal Harris a ring. I love the girl," Hefner told people.com
Harris, who quickly became Hefner's "no. 1" girlfriend when the pair began dating in 2009, sold the first 3.39-carat diamond ring, estimated to be worth $90,000, for less than half its value at a Christie's Auction House in October 2011. She also kept a Bentley that was given to her by Hefner after bashing him in the media and allegedly leaving him for another man.
"Ahh.' I was over it. I just, like, walked away. I'm not turned on by Hef. Sorry," Harris previously said on Sirius XM Radio's "Howard Stern Show." She suggested that many experiences with Hefner were unpleasant.
Harris, who graced the cover of Playboy in July 2011 around the time that she fled the Playboy mansion and called off her wedding, reportedly ran in to the arms of Dr. Phil's son Jordan McGraw, according to blogger Perez Hilton.
"The wedding is off and everything has been canceled. Hef is in shock. Crystal bailed and left the mansion at 11pm Sunday night. She has a boyfriend," a source stated at that time. "She is seeing Dr. Phil's son, Jordan. She thinks she is going to be living with all of Dr. Phil's millions."
Harris eventually returned to Hefner, and the couple is rumored to be planning a New Year's Eve wedding ceremony.
