Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has set a new celebrity benchmark with his staggering $5.5 million engagement ring for longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez, now officially ranked as the most expensive celebrity engagement ring in history.
The jaw-dropping 35-carat oval-cut diamond tops JJ's House's annual ranking of celebrity proposals, surpassing even Beyoncé's $5 million 24-carat sparkler and Jennifer Lopez's rare green diamond of equal value.
Key highlights from the luxury jewelry ranking:
1. Ronaldo-Rodríguez: $5.5M (35-carat oval diamond)
2. Beyoncé & Jennifer Lopez: $5M each
3. Kim Kardashian & Vanessa Bryant: $4M each
4. Blake Lively & Vick Hope: $2.5M
5. Ciara Wilson: $2.25M (16-carat)
The engagement announcement caused a 387% global spike in searches for "oval-cut diamond rings," particularly in Ireland, Australia and the UK, proving the CR7 effect extends beyond football into luxury markets.
Jewelry analysts note the Portuguese icon's choice reflects current trends favoring bold, colored stones over traditional white diamonds, with Rodríguez's pinkish hue setting the tone for 2025's engagement season.
