Cristiano Ronaldo has popped the question, and Georgina Rodriguez’s new engagement ring is making just as many headlines as the proposal itself. Revealed in a recent Instagram post, the dazzling piece is exactly what you’d picture for one of the world’s most famous couples — over-the-top, ultra-glam, and impossible to ignore.
The center of attention? A massive oval-cut diamond flanked by two smaller (but still very impressive) oval side stones. “Smaller” is a relative term here — next to the colossal center gem, even a sizable diamond looks modest.
While the exact details remain under wraps, Only Natural Diamonds estimates the centerpiece to be around 30 carats, pegging its price at no less than $3 million. Jewelry expert Julia Chafé (@JewelswithJewels) suggests it could tip closer to 35 carats, possibly D flawless, and worth well above that figure. The Daily Mail and Tobias Kormind of 77 Diamonds go even further, valuing it at up to $5 million.
For perspective, Ronaldo reportedly earns about $200 million annually — roughly $16 million a month — meaning this ring’s price tag is hardly a stretch for the football icon.
The engagement ring world has been trending toward bigger center stones, thanks in part to lab-grown diamond popularity making large looks more accessible. Ovals, once thought to be fading from favor, might just be staging a comeback thanks to Rodriguez’s headline-making sparkler.
Some comparisons have been drawn to Lauren Sanchez’s gargantuan engagement ring from Jeff Bezos, but many feel Rodriguez’s is far more balanced, with thicker prongs and harmonious proportions despite its cartoonish scale.
Sure, some social media users likened it to a giant Ring Pop or joked it could solve world hunger. Chafé quipped that wearing it daily might require “finger reconstruction surgery” — the diamond equivalent of lugging a hundred-pound kettlebell. Painful? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.
Final verdict: 30/10 on the luxury scale. Bold, blinding, and unapologetically extravagant — exactly the kind of sparkle we expect from one of football’s biggest stars.
