Jennifer Lopez Inspired Engagement Rings that Won’t Break the Bank
It’s been less than a week since Alex Rodriguez proposed to Jennifer Lopez by the beach during their romantic Bahamas getaway. While we weren’t invited to witness the highly-anticipated engagement, the mother-of-two melted our corazones when she gave us a glimpse of the exact moment the ball player got on one knee. Of course, A-Rod also shared the same sweet photos, writing, “Locking it down. #futuremrsrodriguez.” Future Mrs. Rodriguez? Oh yeah, we like the sound of that!
While we’re still reeling from the surprise, there is one thing we still can’t get out of our minds — the massive sparkler. Love don’t cost a thing but this blinding number does.
Rodriguez stepped up his diamond game by proposing to the Bronx belleza, who has already been engaged four times, with an emerald cut ring estimated to be worth anywhere from $1 million up to $5 million.
Style expert, Lauren McCawley, told E! News she believed the ring had “an approximate 15-carat diamond sparkles in a platinum solitaire setting and could easily retail for $1 Million.”
While Ajay Anand, CEO of Rare Carat, revealed, “Our team of gemologists and diamond PhDs estimate the emerald-cut diamond is 20 carats and worth around $4.5 million.”
Jewelry expert and President of SuperJeweler, Andrew Fox told People he valued the ring anywhere between $1 to $1.9 million.
Don’t be fooled by the rock Lopez’s got! Sure, you might not be able to afford the million dollar sparkler, but there are a lot of rings in the market that look similar and cost a whole lot less. From rings with extra bling to ethical engagement rings, get the J.Lo experience without breaking the bank. Bling it on!
This ring is a dead ringer to J.Lo’s massive rock, but it doesn’t boast a real diamond. Moissanite is an ethical and eco-friendly alternative to diamonds that is lab made. This eye-catching piece is made with a single emerald cut moissanite that is equivalent to 1.9 carats. Depending on the metal — white, rose or yellow gold — this bad boy can cost you anywhere from $1,300 to $1,800.
While la Puertorriqueña‘s ring is everything dreams are made of, we do wish it had more details on the band. For those looking for some extra shimmer, check out this stunning piece from Blue Nile. The platinum engagement ring features two diamond encrusted bands that meet where the diamond sits. Best of all, the jewelry company gives customers full design control by allowing them to choose the carats, shape, and price. What’s not to love!
Before asking your beau, “El anillo pa cuando?,” share some ring options first. Your hand is about to shine bright like a diamond with this choice. The emerald-cut center stone is surrounded by 0.25 carat diamonds that makes it one-of-a-kind. Trust us, Jennifer Lopez won’t be the only one with a showstopper on her hand.
Why have one diamond, when you can have three? This gorgeous three-stone ring is the only piece of jewelry you’ll need to make a statement. While the ring will set you back three grand, the head-turning anillo will last you a lifetime. Did we mention it’s also available in different cuts?! From round to marquise, the possibilities are endless.
