So, I put it on and it's kind of been good luck for me ever since.'

Cristiano Ronaldo's ₹25-crore engagement ring for Georgina is so big it could blind you
Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, has proposed to Georgina Rodríguez after eight years with a stunning diamond ring. Georgina shared the news on Instagram, showcasing the massive oval-shaped diamond. Jewellery influencer Julia Chafe estimates the ring to be worth $3 million, possibly more, due to its size and clarity. Cristiano Ronaldo has officially put a ring on it and not just any ring. The Portuguese football legend, 40, has proposed to his long-time love of eight years, Georgina Rodríguez, with a diamond so dazzling it could probably light up an entire stadium. On August 12, Georgina shared the news in the most Instagram-worthy way possible: a romantic shot of her and Ronaldo's hands, the words 'Sí, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas' ('Yes, I do. In this life and in all my lives'), and a sparkling oval-shaped diamond so big, it's practically a character in their love story. Naturally, the internet lost its collective mind. Enter jewellery influencer Julia Chafe, who wasted no time dissecting every facet of that rock. In a now-viral video, Julia speculated the centre stone is a 35-carat D-Flawless oval diamond, the crème de la crème of diamond grades and cheekily asked, 'Should you leave your husband for not buying you a $3 million engagement ring? Maybe.' Her verdict? The piece is easily worth $3 million (around ₹25 crore), possibly more, thanks to its size, clarity, and those equally extravagant side stones. For context, Julia compared it to a similar 35-carat D-VVS tip emerald-cut diamond sold at Sotheby's for the same price. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery Undo The kicker?

Ronaldo and Georgina's engagement isn't just a milestone in their relationship, it's a full-blown pop culture moment.
