three-day wedding celebrations in Venice, Italy concluded last week.

As the newlyweds left the Aman Venice hotel, Sanchez was seen flaunting two massive diamond rings — one on each hand — sparking widespread buzz online.

Close-up photos showed Lauren Sanchez wearing two huge diamond rings — one on each hand. One ring looked like a pillow-shaped diamond and the other had an oval-shaped stone. Jewellery expert Zack Stone from Steve Stone Jewellers said one of the rings seems to have a 20-carat cushion-cut diamond set on a shiny platinum band. It is likely the engagement ring that Bezos used to propose in 2023. The ring was then valued at $2.5 million.
The oval-shaped ring on her right hand is estimated to be worth around $4 million.
Jewellery influencer Julia Chafe shared a video on June 28 discussing the rings worn by Sanchez during the celebration. 'She wore one gigantic ring per hand,' Julia said, adding that both pieces are by celebrity jewellery designer Lorraine Schwartz.
'Given its unique colour, rarity, and size, the ring is estimated to be worth between $4 and $5 million,' an expert told Harper's Bazaar.
Julia also described a second diamond ring worn by Sanchez. 'Rumour has it this upgraded ring is 30 carats,' she said. 'Yes, the setting of that ring is scaring me a lot, but I think that's what I love so much about it… I am overwhelmed.'
Jeff Bezos' wedding: Return gifts for guests
The three-day wedding celebrations concluded with a finale party dubbed as 'Dolce Notte' or 'Sweet Night'. The party witnessed A-list celebrity guests donning sleepwear couture for the music night, glamour and thoughtful gifts. The billionaire couple gave some custom Amazon swag return gifts to the guests. The male guests at the party received plush blue velvet Venetian slippers from Vibi Venezia. On the other hand, the female guests got black open-toe slippers from Amazon.
The gifts, Sanchez told Vogue, were designed to reflect the personalities of the couple.'So you have a little of both!' she added.
