Engagement rings are an investment that sets the tone for a relationship as it moves into its next phase of life—one of either sparkling success or deep, deep debt. The four “Cs” in analyzing diamond rings are: cut, clarity, color, and carat. But there's a fifth, extremely important "C:" cost!
Cristiano Ronaldo has officially popped the question to Georgina Rodríguez, and now she is officially in the ultra-luxury engagement club with a ring valued at over US$6.5 million, Vogue Spain reports. The jaw-dropping piece boasts an oval-cut diamond of 25 to 35 carats, flanked by two smaller stones for a total of around 40 carats. Experts believe the central gem is D-Flawless, the highest rating for clarity and color, placing Georgina’s ring alongside the most expensive ever.
But that still doesn't top the most expensive celebrity engagement ring. Check out this gallery to see which celebrities were offered the most exorbitant sparklers in exchange for everlasting(ish) love.
