A huge, couture-worthy sparkler that exudes ultra-luxury was the engagement ring that Cristiano Ronaldo selected to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez. An eye-catching item that would look great as the main attraction on a high jewelry runway. Rodríguez stunned her followers with a close-up of the stunning ring's magnificence on Instagram, announcing her engagement to the 40-year-old football legend. The two side stones encircle a perfect oval-cut diamond, creating a look appropriate for both red carpets and monarchy.
While the pair has not revealed the location of this massive artwork, Page Six Style states that experts estimate its value at between $2 million and $5 million. Ajay Anand, CEO of Rare Carat, provides a gemologist's ideal description: “The center stone [is] of D color and flawless clarity, potentially weighing over 30 carats — which would place its value at as much as $5 million.”
The creativity of the cut is what's generating waves, not simply the size. Laura Taylor, the engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, breaks it down: “Oval cuts are known for their brilliant faceting, which maximizes sparkle and gives the stone a bright, lively appearance from every angle.”
For a deeper dive into the design’s craftsmanship, Vogue Arabia consulted Abdulla BelJafla, Creative Director of Gafla, who calls it “a platinum three-stone masterpiece with an understated double-claw mount holding the centre oval diamond, flanked by two perfectly matched side ovals.” He adds, “Its design rejects unnecessary ornamentation, allowing the rare stones’ fire, clarity, and size to take centre stage.”
Although the jeweler remains shrouded in secrecy, BelJafla notes, “The craftsmanship and gem calibre suggest a high jewellery maison specialising in ultra-rare stones.” His expert sizing guess? “Based on her height, weight, and nationality, we can estimate her ring size between 50 to 52,” he says. “The centre diamond is estimated between 22 and 30 carats, flanked by two oval side stones of around 1 carat each, for a total weight of approximately 37 carats.”
