00:00The diamond ring soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo used to propose to his longtime partner,
00:06Georgina Rodriguez, could be as large as 50 carats, appraisers told Forbes, making it
00:13larger than the famous sparklers given to Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian, and Lauren Sanchez.
00:20Rodriguez announced the pair's engagement after eight years of dating on Monday with
00:25the photo that focused on her ring. Christian Spawforth, a jewelry specialist with Heritage
00:32Auctions, said the diamond seems to be an oval-cut stone of approximately 50 carats with a D color
00:38grade, the highest on the scale, and likely a clarity of VVS1 or better. Some have speculated
00:46the ring was made by Cartier, but no jeweler has yet claimed the work. Few stars have flaunted
00:52diamonds bigger than Rodriguez's, but to stand out. Rapper Gucci Mane famously gave his wife a 60 carat
01:01oval-cut diamond ring in 2019, and Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor a 69.42 carat pear-shaped
01:10stone he purchased for her in 1969. Burton reportedly bought the diamond from Cartier for a million dollars,
01:17the equivalent of about 8.6 million today. Rodriguez's ring is larger than the initial
01:25Harry Winston ring Burton used to propose to Taylor in 1978, which featured a 33.19 carat Asher-cut diamond.
01:35Other famous rings include the 8 million 15 carat cushion-cut diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz that Kim
01:42Kardashian received from Kanye West, and the 5 million 30 carat pink diamond billionaire Jeff Bezos
01:51used to propose to Lauren Sanchez. Sanchez was also spotted wearing another 30 to 40 carat oval diamond ring,
02:00estimated to be worth around 4 million at her Venice wedding earlier this summer.
02:06Both of her rings were designed by Schwartz.
02:08Watch this for a while.
