Cristiano Ronaldo is no stranger to making headlines, but this time it’s not about football, it’s about the insane engagement ring he just gave his fiancée. And let’s be real, it’s huge.
How Big Is It?
We can’t know the exact specs of the diamond, but judging from the photos, the centre stone looks to be an oval diamond somewhere between 25 and 30 carats. That’s… a lot of diamond!
Given Ronaldo’s taste (and his €200 million-a-year paycheck), it’s probably D colour with Flawless or VVS clarity, basically the crème de la crème of diamonds. Stones like that are incredibly rare, so the price isn’t just about carats and clarity, it’s about what someone’s willing to pay for it.
Our best guess? Around $5 million AUD for the diamond alone. And that’s before you even factor in the setting, possible side stones, and the craftsmanship.
What Would the engagement ring Insurance Cost?
Brace yourself. If you actually insured a ring like this the traditional way, you’d probably be looking at $150,000–$250,000 a year in premiums (based on a 3–5% rate).
Which is honestly pretty ridiculous, so chances are Ronaldo just self-insures it.
How Do You Even Look After a Rock That Size?
Surprisingly, you clean it just like any other engagement ring, it’s just… bigger. In fact, the larger the diamond, the easier it is to keep clean, because there’s less tiny crevice space for gunk to hide.
All you need to do is:
- Rinse it under hot water
- Give it a gentle scrub with a soft toothbrush
- Keep harsh chemicals away from the metal
Are We About to See a “Bigger is Better” Trend?
Yep, and lab-grown diamonds are the reason why. Their prices have dropped over 90% in the past few years, which means you can now get a 3–5 carat lab-grown diamond for about 5% of what a natural one would cost.
That’s why we’re seeing couples go for big, bold, celebrity-style rings without the celebrity-level price tag. The whole “Hollywood glamour” vibe is now within reach for the masses.
What’s Trending in 2025
One trend we’re seeing is that elongated diamond shapes like ovals, radiants, and cushions are really taking off.
They look bigger on the finger and give a strong, sharp profile that stands out. For natural diamonds, most guys stick to around 1.5 to 2 carats, but when it comes to lab-grown, it’s all about going big 3 to 5 carats or even more.
