Georgina Rodríguez’s 35ct Engagement Ring - Get the Look for Less
Share
When Georgina Rodríguez unveiled her new engagement ring, the internet blinked twice. And with good reason - the centre stone alone is estimated at a staggering 35 carats, flanked by two side stones of around 1 carat each. It’s bold, it’s glamorous, and, according to industry valuations, it could be worth between £3.2–£4 million.
But here’s the thing: you don’t need a footballer’s salary to create a piece with the same elegance and impact. Let’s break down the style, the craftsmanship, and the ways you can bring this look to life at a fraction of the cost.
The Style at a Glance
- Cut: Oval - known for its flattering, elongated shape and exceptional sparkle.
- Setting: Three-stone design in platinum, with a secure double-claw mount to maximise light flow.
- Proportions: Large centre stone, smaller matching side stones for balance.
- Overall feel: Timeless glamour with a modern profile.
Why the Oval Cut Works So Well
Oval cuts are currently one of the most sought-after shapes in engagement rings. They offer the brilliance of a round cut but with a slimmer, more elegant outline that elongates the finger. In Georgina’s case, the oval also creates a broad surface area for light reflection - which is why it photographs so spectacularly.
Three-Stone Setting: More Than Just Pretty
A three-stone ring isn’t only about aesthetics. Traditionally, the three stones represent a couple’s past, present, and future. It’s a romantic choice that also allows for creative flexibility - mixing stone shapes, colours, or sizes to suit your taste and budget.
How to Get the Look for Less
Thankfully, together we can channel the same glamour without a multi-million-pound budget:
1. Consider a lab-grown centre stone - opt for a 2–4ct lab-grown oval in a D–F colour and VS clarity for maximum sparkle at around 40–60% less than a natural stone.
2. Keep the proportions - choose two matching side stones (around 0.3–0.5ct each) to maintain the same balanced/proportional look.
3. Select platinum or 18k white gold - both metals complement the bright, icy sparkle of an oval cut.
4. Add a personal touch - engravings, a hidden halo, or a unique setting detail make it yours.
Why Bespoke is the Smart Move
Buying off-the-shelf often means compromising on stone size, quality, or setting details. With a bespoke process, you can tailor every element - from the exact proportions to the metal finish - to create a ring that’s unique to you. It’s how you achieve that “celebrity-level” feel without paying for the celebrity markup.
