5 engagement rings inspired by the rock Cristiano Ronaldo bought his fiancé
From oval-cut brilliance to lab-grown perfection, these rings channel the unbelievable dazzle of Georgina Rodriguez's new rock. A post shared by Georgina Rodríguez (@georginagio) International soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez are engaged! Nine years is a long time to wait for an engagement ring, but when it looks like Georgina's ring from Ronaldo, you can't be mad. That rock is unreal. It looks so unreal, that even our USA Today Shopping team had questions about whether the Instagram announcement was AI-generated. Luckily, Lorraine Brantner, GIA-certified gemologist and Director of Sales and Service at James Allen, weighed in to help set the record straight. "While many are quick to speculate that Cristiano Ronaldo's engagement ring may be AI-generated, I can say that the design details, particularly the carat weight, shape and setting, are entirely within the realm of what's possible in high-end jewelry today," Brantner said. "As someone who's seen many large-carat diamonds up close, I can say that this style is absolutely in line with what high-profile clients and celebrities gravitate toward." The diamond is reportedly valued at up to $5 million. He is, afterall, Cristiano Ronaldo. Brantner weighed in on the look of the stone. "Based on the images circulating, the center stone appears to be an oval cut diamond, likely ranging between 20-25 carats, possibly even more depending on finger size," says Brantner. "In an era where AI can generate hyper-realistic renderings, skepticism is natural, but this ring's proportions, clarity, and craftsmanship reflect the kind of piece created for elite clients."
