Cristiano Ronaldo’s massive ring for his fiancé Georgina Rodriguez may have a secret hidden meaning behind it — now, a luxury jeweller has decoded its significance.
The world gave a collective gasp when Cristiano Ronaldo popped the question to his longtime partner and the mother of his children, Georgina Rodriguez with a massive rock.
Fans of the footballer had been waiting for years for the famous couple to take the marital leap, with the pair already raising five children together — two daughters born to Georgina, and three others Ronaldo had via surrogacy with two different mothers.
Following eight years together, the pair recently broke the news of their engagement via social media on August 11. Georgina announced their betrothal, originally written in Spanish, in an Instagram post featuring her stunning (and ginormous) ring, captioning the picture: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Ever since the announcement, fans everywhere are dying to know more details about the ring and thankfully — we’ve got you covered.
Tobias Kormind, Managing Director of 77 Diamonds, has provided a detailed assessment and expert breakdown of Georgina’s stunning diamond ring estimated to be 35 carat — along with what he believes could be the significance and hidden symbolism behind the famous footballer’s choice.
Tobias shares: “We estimate the value of Georgina Rodríguez’s stunning engagement ring to be around $5 million.”
Speaking to the ring’s significance, the gemstone expert says: “The ring is reminiscent of the famous Taylor-Burton Diamond, a 69.42 carat pear shape stone gifted to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton, who reportedly bought it from Cartier, who bought the rarity for over $1 million at auction.”
Ring Features
Cut
Tobias explains: “The design adopts a three-stone configuration — in this case, a rare, triple-oval setting that imbues the ring with an air of vintage elegance, despite its flawless, modern feel.
“The trilogy setting — three stones together – traditionally symbolises the past, present and future of a couple, emphasising the continuous nature of Ronaldo and Georgina Rodgriguez’s relationship.”
The expert adds: “The ring design symbolises the shared memories of the past, the commitment of the present, and the promise of a united future for the two. The ring essentially says ‘you are my forever — my past, present and future.'”
Centrepiece stone
Tobias says: “The ring boasts a breathtaking centre stone — an oval-cut diamond weighing approximately 35 carats.
“We estimate it is of flawless clarity — the highest possible grade for a diamond — and a D colour, meaning that the sparkle will be absolutely luminescent.”
Shedding further light on the breathtaking piece of jewellery, the gemstone expert continues: “The side diamonds — also oval cut — appear to be around 1 carat each, bringing the total to 37 carats.”
Material and setting
Tobias explains: “The ring appears to be crafted in platinum, which is selected for its resilience and stunning, silvery-white hue.
“Not only does the choice of precious metal enhance the brilliance of the stones, but platinum is known for its durability, symbolising the enduring strength of the couple’s relationship.”
The jewellery specialist continues: “The double-claw prongs of the setting lifts the centre diamond, allowing light to enter and accentuate its sparkle.”
