Rodriguez first showcased the ring on August 11, 2025, when she announced her engagement to the Portuguese footballer on social media. In the photo, her hand rested on Ronaldo's hand, with the massive oval-cut diamond being the main focus of attention. By that time, the couple had been together for nearly nine years. Since then, jewelers have been trying to determine the characteristics of the piece based on photographs. Here, the estimates vary significantly. Most experts agree that the central stone has an oval cut. However, its weight is not precisely known. One estimate suggests that it could be a diamond weighing over 22 carats. Other specialists mention figures ranging from 25 to 30 carats. Anna Whiting, the general manager of the Australian jewelry company Cushla Whiting, estimated the central stone to be over 25 carats. Other publications have presented even more impressive assumptions — up to **37 carats**. The difference is explained by the fact that experts are forced to judge solely based on images: neither Ronaldo nor Rodriguez has disclosed the official characteristics of the ring. The estimates of its value also vary widely. It depends not only on weight but also on color, clarity, origin, and quality of the diamond's cut. Media reports have mentioned sums in the millions of euros. Euronews previously provided an estimate suggesting that a ring weighing around 30 carats could cost **between 2 and 4.5 million euros**. That is why it is currently only possible to speculate about a record. Without a certificate for the stone, it is impossible to reliably establish its weight, characteristics, or actual price. Interest in the piece surged again after the couple's wedding. Ronaldo and Rodriguez married on August 11, 2026 — exactly one year after announcing their engagement. The modest civil ceremony took place in Cascais near Lisbon in the presence of the couple's five children. The story of the footballer's relationship with the Spanish-Argentinian model began in 2016. They met in a Gucci store in Madrid, where Georgina worked as a sales assistant. In January 2017, the couple made their first official appearance together at the FIFA awards ceremony. Now, after the wedding of the famous couple, the engagement ring has become part of their family history. However, one intrigue remains: as long as the characteristics of the diamond are not officially disclosed, the answer to the question of whether Ronaldo indeed gifted his beloved one of the most expensive engagement rings in the world remains a mystery.
