Bethenny Frankel has a million reasons to celebrate.
On Tuesday, Page Six confirmed Frankel’s engagement to boyfriend Paul Bernon, days after the former star of “The Real Housewives of New York”, 50, hit the beach wearing a massive diamond ring that is estimated to cost seven digits.
“It looks like he was wearing a three-stone ring, which has a huge set of 8-10 carat emerald center stone, with two smaller emerald accented diamonds, we estimate to be around 3 carats in total “Apeksha Kothari, chief officer of RareCarat.com, told Page Six Style on Tuesday.
“If it’s a real, natural diamond, I’d estimate its retail value at up to $ 1 million for an emerald-shaped natural diamond ring of that size,” Kothari added. “And if not … probably under $ 5,000 as a fake good.”
Shannon Delany-Ron, CMO of JamesAllen.com, also believes that Frankel’s ring boasts a high price.
“Bethenny swings a beautiful elongated emerald platinum diamond with trapezoidal side stones. This three-stone sparkler appears to be about 9-10 carats and is priced between $ 500,000 and $ 750,000, ”said Delany-Ron.
Kathryn Money, Brilliant Earth’s vice president of marketing and retail, estimates that Frankel’s centerpiece is in the “8-10 carat” range.
“Bethenny’s beautiful ring looks like a central diamond cut with 8-10 carat emerald, flanked by two trapezoidal side stones and placed on a strip of white gold or platinum,” Money said.
“Depending on the quality and characteristics of the center stone, we estimate the cost of the ring between about $ 750,000 to $ 1,000,000 +,” she added.
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, also mentioned that Frankel’s ring could be in the stadium for millions of dollars.
“Bethenny Frankel’s engagement ring looks like a three-stone ring with a 15-carat center plus emerald-cut, trapezoidal side stones,” Fried said.
“The value should definitely exceed 1 million,” he continued. “With her stunning size and refined style, Bethenny’s ring is a nod to her relationship with Paul Bernon and their future together.”
Frankel began dating Bernon in 2018. Although the couple broke up two years later, Frankel and Bernon, 43, sparked rumors of reconciliation in January. A month later, tycoon Skinnygirl confirmed that they were back together.
“Behind every woman… (fill in the blanks here.) Happy Valentine’s Day xoxo #Loveyourself,” Frankel headlined an Instagram post with Bernon.
News of Frankel’s engagement comes shortly after Page Six confirmed that she and former Jason Hoppy have completed their divorce. The couple originally married in 2010, but gave up in December 2012. Frankel filed for divorce a month later.
Frankel, who has a reported net worth of $ 70 million, shares a child with Hoppy, Bryn’s 10-year-old daughter.
