Cristiano Ronaldo has proven himself to be the globe’s greatest not just on the field, but also in luxury and lifestyle, as he proposed to Georgina Rodriguez with a pristine diamond ring.
On the morning of Aug 11, the Argentine-Spanish model broke the internet with the engagement to his longtime partner. Perhaps what shook the internet most is the oval-cut, colossal diamond with a shine that can almost blind one.
Details, however, are yet to be officially revealed about the glistening rock by the soon-to-be married couple, but jewellers and experts are taking a shot at the ring.
There have been various predictions, including Tobias Kormind, the managing director of 77 Diamonds in London, who believes that Georgina’s vault-sized accessory is worth approximately 35 carats.
However, he predicted the worth of the oval centre stone only. He thinks that the show-stopper is surrounded by oval side stones set in platinum,
which he estimates as one carat each, setting the ring at a fine 37 carats overall. Kormind believes that Rodriguez's ring has a $5 million price tag.
However, Ronaldo’s monumental ring to Georgina is not a mere engagement knot; it’s a power play of the couple entering into their new lives. The dazzling ring, valued at up to $5 million, is a calculated statement of power and permanence.
Ronaldo, more than celebrating a proposal and love, is reinforcing the legacy and prestige in his family and relationships, a narrative that smoothly sits beside his athletic persona.
