Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has asked his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez to marry him, and she enthusiastically accepted. The couple announced their engagement on social media on the evening of Monday, August 11th, sharing a photo showcasing a breathtaking engagement ring featuring an enormous oval-cut diamond.
The newly minted fiancée simply captioned the image, “I said yes.” The focus, however, was squarely on the remarkable piece of jewellery, which experts believe cost Ronaldo a colossal sum.
Specialists swiftly analyzed the ring based on the photo. Laura Taylor, an engagement ring expert at Lorel Diamonds, provided detailed insights to the Daily Mail. She highlighted the ring’s exceptional features: “The oval cut enhances the diamond’s brilliance, giving the stone a bright, lively appearance from every angle.” Taylor further noted the significant diamonds surrounding the central stone, explaining they add “even more sparkle and make the already impressive main stone appear even larger.” Given the sheer size of the diamond, estimated at between 15 and 20 carats, Taylor stated it is “almost certainly set in platinum for security.” She concluded, “This ring is undoubtedly one of the most impressive we’ve seen in recent years, and it is perfectly suited for one of football’s most famous couples.”
Taylor’s assessment placed a staggering value on the ring. “If the diamond is natural, of exceptional quality, with flawless or nearly flawless clarity,” she told the Daily Mail, “its cost could easily exceed two million dollars.” This valuation underscores the extravagance of Ronaldo’s proposal gesture.
The engagement marks a significant milestone for the couple, who have been together for nine years. Throughout their relationship, Georgina had occasionally been seen wearing another diamond ring on her middle finger, which many fans speculated might be an engagement ring. This latest announcement, accompanied by the spectacular jewel, confirms their commitment has officially progressed to the next level, ending years of anticipation among their global fanbase. The couple shares four children together.
