Georgina Rodríguez made her walk down the Venice Film Festival red carpet a memorable one.
The Argentine-Spanish model, 32, made her first major appearance since tying the knot with Cristiano Ronaldo in an intimate at-home ceremony at the Sept. 4 premiere of Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People? — and she definitely made it count with a collection of massive jewels adorning her look.
For the event, Rodríguez, 32, wore a navy skirt suit featuring a tailored cleavage-baring blazer. She paired the understated design with eye-catching jewelry including a double-tiered necklace, large earrings and crescent-shaped rings.

Rodríguez’s choice of accessories comes as no surprise. When she and the soccer player announced their engagement with a photo of her engagement ring, jewelry experts told PEOPLE that they believed the massive diamond to weigh around 37 carats. And when her big day finally came, Rodríguez paired her bridal Gucci suit with Chopard jewelry featuring more than 250 carats of diamonds.
The star of the show was a necklace adorned with a 50-carat brilliant-cut diamond, a 6.41-carat brilliant-cut diamond, 98 carats of pear-shaped diamonds, 40 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds and 2 carats of marquise-cut diamonds.
Her other pieces included earrings containing two 25-carat pear-shaped diamonds, 26 carats of heart-shaped diamonds and 4.35 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds, in addition to rings from Chopard’s Garden of Kalahari and Haute Joaillerie collections.
The jewelry house did not confirm a price, but Page Six estimated that the jewels could be worth up to $55 million in total.

“My body will change, as all women’s bodies do. And I hope it continues to do so for many years, because that will mean I’m still alive,” she wrote, then sharing the valuable lessons on confidence she hopes to teach her children, especially her daughters.
“I’m the mother of six wonderful children, three of whom are girls who will one day be great women. And if there’s one thing I want to teach them—along with Cris [in reference to Ronaldo], whom I’m deeply proud of for the values he embodies as a father and as a man—it’s that a person’s worth can never depend on their physical appearance or the opinions of strangers. That little dose of positive psychology that I try to give them every day also helps me stay on track in this world of so much fantasy.”
She added: “I love my curves. I love the freedom to live in the body I choose. In the body that supports me, that has allowed me to embrace, create life, fall, and get back up. A body that deserves respect, love, and gratitude in all its versions.”
