AI-assisted summary Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are engaged after nine years of dating.Rodriguez's engagement ring is estimated to be worth up to $5 million and features a large oval-cut diamond, possibly between 20-25 carats.While some speculated the ring's image was AI-generated, a gemologist confirmed the design is realistic for high-profile clients.International soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez are engaged! Nine years is a long time to wait for an engagement ring, but when it looks like Georgina's ring from Ronaldo, you can't be mad. That rock is unreal.It looks so unreal, that even our USA Today Shopping team had questions about whether the Instagram announcement was AI-generated.Luckily, Lorraine Brantner, GIA-certified gemologist and Director of Sales and Service at James Allen, weighed in to help set the record straight."While many are quick to speculate that Cristiano Ronaldo's engagement ring may be AI-generated, I can say that the design details, particularly the carat weight, shape and setting, are entirely within the realm of what's possible in high-end jewelry today," Brantner said. "As someone who’s seen many large-carat diamonds up close, I can say that this style is absolutely in line with what high-profile clients and celebrities gravitate toward."The diamond is reportedly valued at up to $5 million. He is, afterall, Cristiano Ronaldo.Brantner weighed in on the look of the stone."Based on the images circulating, the center stone appears to be an oval cut diamond, likely ranging between 20-25 carats, possibly even more depending on finger size," says Brantner. "In an era where AI can generate hyper-realistic renderings, skepticism is natural, but this ring's proportions, clarity, and craftsmanship reflect the kind of piece created for elite clients."Below, check out a few dazzling lookalikes, albeit smaller than the absolute rock on Rodriguez's finger:Shop similar styles to Georgina Rodriguez's engagement ring from Cristiano RonaldoJames Allen Comfort Fit Solitaire Engagement RingComfort Fit Solitaire Engagement Ring This setting is meant to highlight the diamond of your choice, for a similar look choose an oval-cut stone.
