After nine years together, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina RodrĂguez have officially announced their engagement in spectacular fashion. The couple shared the news via Instagram, where the model proudly showed off her stunning engagement ring. “Yes, I do. In this life and every life,” Georgina captioned the photo, which instantly went viral.
Jewelry experts estimate the ring features an oval-shaped diamond between 35 and 45 carats, flanked by two smaller stones and set in platinum. Its estimated value? A jaw-dropping $5 million, placing Georgina among the elite ranks of celebrities with the most expensive engagement rings in the world.
From Georgina Rodriguez to Grace Kelly: Here are the most expensive celebrity engagement rings
The number one spot, without question, belongs to Hollywood icon Grace Kelly. In 1956, the legendary actress married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, who proposed with a breathtaking 10.48-carat emerald-cut diamond ring crafted by Cartier. At the time, the ring was valued at $4.06 million.
Today, adjusted for inflation and factoring in its historical significance, the ring is estimated to be worth a staggering $46.1 million. That makes it not only the most expensive celebrity engagement ring ever, but also a timeless symbol of royal romance and vintage Hollywood glamor.
Coming in at number two is pop diva Mariah Carey, whose engagement to billionaire James Packer in 2016 was marked by a jaw-dropping 35-carat emerald-cut diamond ring designed by Wilfredo Rosado. The ring was reportedly worth $10 million at the time of purchase.
However, after their split, Carey chose to part ways with the extravagant piece. In a quiet transaction handled by her business manager, the ring was sold to a Los Angeles jeweler for just $2.1 million, a fraction of its original value. According to her publicist, the sale was part of her decision to leave behind “emotional and material baggage” and move forward with “positivity”.
Taking the third spot is none other than Elizabeth Taylor, whose jewelry collection was as iconic as her film career. In 1968, her then-husband Richard Burton purchased the 33.19-carat Asscher-cut diamond—originally owned by German actress Vera Krupp—for $307,000 at a New York auction.
Taylor wore the ring constantly and affectionately referred to it as her favorite piece. After her death in 2011, the diamond was renamed the Elizabeth Taylor Diamond and sold at a Christie’s auction for $8.8 million. The stone is a rare Type IIa diamond, known for its exceptional purity and brilliance, placing it among the most valuable celebrity engagement rings ever.
