Sophisticated soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo proposes to partner Georgina Rodriguez with a lavish million-dollar ring
Cristiano Ronaldo, the football superstar, and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, have announced their engagement after eight years together. The news was shared on Rodriguez's Instagram profile on Tuesday morning, accompanied by a stunning image of the ring that has since become the center of attention.
The engagement ring, set in platinum, features a massive oval-cut center diamond estimated between 30 to 40 carats. This is flanked by two complementary oval side stones of about 1 carat each, adding more sparkle and making the main stone look even more impressive.
The exact cost of the ring is not yet known, but estimates range between $3 million and $7 million. Jewelry experts, such as ELLE's jewellers, estimate the ring's value at around $3 million, while Tatler Asia suggests it could be as high as $5 million or even $7 million.
The ring's design includes double-claw prongs for security due to the large center stone. The price per karat of a diamond can vary greatly and depends on factors such as color, clarity, and cut.
Ronaldo's annual salary from Saudi Arabian football club Al-Nassr is a substantial 208 million euros, as reported by British magazine "The Sun", ensuring that the cost of the engagement ring should not be a significant financial burden for him.
The renewal of Ronaldo's contract with Al-Nassr extends until 2027, providing a stable financial foundation for the couple's future. Many fans have commented on Rodriguez's Instagram post, either amused or congratulating the future couple on their exciting news.
