The Diamond Pro launches the first artificial intelligence diamond buying tool to let consumers ‘see’ true diamond quality online before making a purchase. Read the official announcement, or, access the media kit.

“Porsha’s massive diamond ring appears to be 15 carats,” Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, tells HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “Finding an emerald cut diamond of this size and quality is rare, making the ring’s approximate value $1 million. With the pave band and four-prong setting, her ring is a true statement piece and is a nod to the couple’s future together.”
According to Mike Fried, the CEO of diamond consulting firm The Diamond Pro, Denning’s three-stone ring includes a center emerald-cut diamond that he estimates to be around 4 carats, as well as two trapezoid side stones that help showcase the center stone. “While many celebrity rings we’ve seen in 2021 are solitaires or halos,” says Fried, “[Wilkes-Krier] opted for a personal touch by designing it with side stones.”
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told Page Six Style they estimated the rock’s value at around $500,000.
“When couples like J-Lo and A-Rod split, it doesn’t just take an emotional toll, but a financial one too,” said Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro. “If Jennifer decides to sell her engagement ring, it’ll be a loss of somewhere between $500K and $1 million. Plus, she’ll have to set aside one of the most impressive celebrity engagement rings of the last decade.”
HELLO! has obtained a ring valuation from Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, and the special piece has an estimated cost of at least $100,000, and you could pick up a shiny new Jag for that sum. Diamond expert Mike said: “Aaron Rodgers chose a gorgeous, timeless engagement ring for Shailene Woodley with an approximate three carat round-cut diamond that has an estimated value of $100k or more. The beautiful ring will stand the test of time and is a showcase of the love they share.”
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told Page Six Style that “the thin elegant band allows her diamond to take center stage.” He estimated the center stone to be between 1 and 1.5 carats, and worth up to $15,000 depending on its quality.
Mike Fried, the CEO of The Diamond Pro, also estimated the ring’s value at north of $100,000.
While Kevin hasn’t shared specifics about the diamond’s size and cost, it looks like the NBA player footed a hefty bill for this engagement. Some estimates place the ring’s price tag around at least $50,000, but according to Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond, it could be worth much more than that. “The diamond looks like a beautiful 3 carat+ sparkler in the center of a chunky halo setting and I’d value this ring north of $100,000,” he said in a statement.
According to Ira Weissman, founder of the consumer education website The Diamond Pro who worked in the diamond business for six years, Hoda’s ring appears to be a five-carat Asscher cut diamond set in a blue sapphire halo. “This combination of the icy white of diamonds with the cool blue of sapphires is reminiscent of Princess Diana’s ring that was passed on to Kate Middleton, which also showcased this classic combination,” Ira tells GoodHousekeeping.com. “A ring of this impeccable quality could easily retail for over $250,000.”
