NEED TO KNOW
- Georgina Rodríguez appeared to debut another engagement ring from Cristiano Ronaldo on Instagram one week after the two announced their engagement on Aug. 11
- Photos of the model show her wearing a square-cut diamond on her left hand in place of the original oval-cut sparkler, which experts predicted to retail at $5 million
- Rodríguez also wore a bridal-forward athleisure look alongside her blinding bling
Looks like Georgina Rodríguez is doubling down on her engagement diamonds.
The Argentinian model, 31, and her fiancé Cristiano Ronaldo set a new standard for celebrity rings when they revealed her humongous seven-figure sparkler marking their upcoming nuptials. Although it looks like the influencer isn’t done impressing the internet with her blinding bling.
On Aug. 20, Rodríguez shared a handful of skin-baring beach photos with her debuting what appeared to be yet another rock from the athlete.
The mom of five appeared to display a large square-cut diamond on her left hand, quite different in style from her original three-stone ring, a photo of which she and Ronaldo announced their engagement with.
As if to clue fans in, Rodríguez also wore a monochromatic bridal white Alo outfit featuring a bralette and tiny biker shorts that she accessorized with a chain necklace decked out in at least four pendants covered in blinding stones.
The bride-to-be has yet to confirm whether or not her new band is an engagement one, but our guess is that her second sparkler is a backup for everyday tasks. After all, jewelry experts predict the original ring has assets that are worth protecting.
Tobias Kormind, the managing director of 77 Diamonds in London, estimated that Rodriguez’s first diamond was worth approximately 37 carats, featuring a 35-carat center stone and its surrounding stones. Social media content creator and jewelry aficionado Julia Chafe posted a breakdown of what she believes went into the predicted $5 million accessory, including its colossal carat count.
Eye-popping jewels have remained constant among Hollywood’s biggest stars (and most famous hands), but in recent months, bands with diamonds made of gargantuan proportions have become the go-to design for A-list newlyweds.
Take, for example, Lauren Sanchéz, who received a 30-plus-carat diamond from Jeff Bezos (worth more than $2 million!). Country singer Zac Brown also looked to the book of big rings when he popped the question to jewelry designer, Kendra Scott, with a large pink diamond ring.

Rodríguez also has yet to address all the hubbub over her engagement ring, but for now, it’s safe to say the love she has with Ronaldo is set in stone.
The two met when Rodríguez was a sales assistant at a Gucci store, and they began dating shortly after. In her Netflix series, I Am Georgina, she described the early days of their relationship as a “very special start.”
They also share five children: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8, daughter Alana, 7, daughter Bella, 3, and 15-year-old son Cristiano Jr. (whom Ronaldo welcomed in a previous relationship). The couple also announced the death of Bella’s newborn twin brother, Ángel, in April 2022.
