Donald Trump is a well-known billionaire and former US president who has been married three times. His third and current wife, Melania Trump, received an engagement ring with a massive diamond when they got engaged. But how does her ring compare to the ring that Donald’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, received from her husband?
Melania Trump
Donald Trump and Melania Trump met in New York in 1998 when Melania was a model. They dated for six years before getting married on January 22, 2005, at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Melania wore a stunning Christian Dior dress that cost $200,000 (equivalent to 4.6 billion VND) when she walked down the aisle. When Donald Trump proposed to her, she received an engagement ring with a large diamond with a huge price tag.
Tobias Kormind, the CEO of the jewelry brand 77 Diamonds, revealed that when Donald proposed to Melania in 2005, he bought her a 15-carat diamond ring with a D Flawless grade from the brand Graff. Today, this ring could be sold for $3 million (69 billion VND).
At the time, Donald Trump made headlines for claiming that he got a 50% discount on the ring. Graff responded by saying, “We don’t sell items for publicity value.”
A decade later, on their 10th anniversary, Donald upgraded Melania’s ring to a 25-carat diamond ring, also from Graff. This ring could be sold for $3.5 million (81 billion VND) today.
Ivanka Trump
Ivanka Trump is a senior political advisor to her father, President Trump. She met her husband, Jared Kushner, through mutual friends and got married four years later.
When Jared proposed to Ivanka, he gave her a beautiful diamond ring with a value that cannot be ignored. Tobias estimated the ring’s worth to be around £400,000 (12 billion VND). The ring features a 5.22-carat diamond with a D Flawless grade and is set in a band with smaller diamonds.
Both Melania and Ivanka received expensive engagement rings, but Melania’s ring is worth five times more than Ivanka’s. Despite their different values, both rings are stunning and represent the love and commitment between the couples.
