Cristiano Ronaldo dropped an eye-watering amount on his fiancee Georgina Rodriguez 's engagement ring, according to experts.
The newly-engaged couple announced they are set to wed after almost a decade together in an Instagram post on Monday evening.
But fans' eyes were drawn to the dazzling rock on Georgina's finger, as she flashed her jaw-dropping ring for all to see.
Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, said: 'Georgina Rodríguez's engagement ring from Cristiano Ronaldo is an extraordinary piece, featuring what appears to be an oval-cut diamond in the 15 to 20 carat range.
'Oval cuts are known for their brilliant faceting, which maximises sparkle and gives the stone a bright, lively appearance from every angle.
'The centre stone is flanked by substantial side diamonds, adding even more sparkle and making the already impressive main stone look even larger.
'A diamond of this size is almost certainly set in platinum for security, which also enhances its colour and gives the ring a timeless finish.
'This is a show-stopping ring, and easily among the most impressive we've seen in recent years, which feels perfectly suited to one of football's most famous couples.
'If the diamond is natural and of exceptional quality in the D-F colour range with flawless or near-flawless clarity, its value could easily exceed £1.5 million.'
Meanwghile, founder of engagement ring company The Clear Cut, Olivia Landau, said: '[The ring] features an oval diamond estimated to be over 10 carats...
'Possibly as large as 15 carats. It appears to be flanked by two smaller oval diamond side stones, each approximately 2–3 carats.
'The setting is platinum with double claw prongs on all four corners. Depending on the quality, the ring and center diamond are likely worth several million dollars.'
Confirming their engagement, the Argentine-Spanish model, 31, wrote: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.'
Up until now, Georgina has worn a different diamond ring, but the couple were understood to have not been engaged during this time.

The footballer only recently hit the headlines when he admitted that he would not propose to the mother of two of his children until everything had 'clicked'.
He said on Netflix: 'I always tell her, 'when we get that click.' Like everything with our life, and she knows what I'm talking about.
'It could be in a year or it could be in six months or it could be in a month. I'm 1000% sure that it'll happen.'
The couple have been in a relationship since 2016 and have daughters Alana, seven, and two-year-old Bella together. She is also the stepmother of his other three children.
In an interview for her Netflix reality show I Am Georgina, the model told how she has been teased by friends over when she will get married.
She said: 'They're always joking about the wedding. 'When is the wedding?' Since Jennifer Lopez's song 'The Ring Or When' came out, they started singing it to me. And well, this is not up to me.'
