Bethenny Frankel is engaged to her boyfriend Paul Bernon. Now, experts reveal how much the Real Housewives of New York City alum's engagement ring is worth.
“It looks like she wore a three-stone ring that features a huge 8- to 10-carat emerald-shaped center stone set with two smaller emerald accent diamonds we estimate to be around 3 carats total,” Apeksha Kothari, chief operating officer at RareCarat.com, told Page Six Style.
“If it’s a real, natural diamond, I’d estimate its retail value at up to $1 million for a natural emerald-shaped diamond ring of that size,” Kothari added. “And if not … probably under $5,000 as a good fake.”
Shannon Delany-Ron, CMO of JamesAllen.com, also believes Frankel’s ring boasts a hefty price tag. “Bethenny is rocking a gorgeous platinum elongated emerald-cut diamond with trapezoid side stones. This three-stone sparkler looks to be about 9 to 10 carats and ranging in price between $500,000 to $750,000,” Delany-Ron said.
Kathryn Money, Brilliant Earth‘s SVP of merchandising and retail expansion, estimates that Frankel’s center stone is in the “8- to 10-carat” range.
“Bethenny’s beautiful ring appears to feature an 8- to 10-carat emerald-cut center diamond flanked by two trapezoid side stones and set on a white gold or platinum band,” Money told Page Six Style. “Depending on the quality and specific characteristics of the center stone, we estimate the cost of the ring between approximately $750,000 to $1,000,000+,” she added.
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, also noted that Frankel’s ring could be in the million-dollar ballpark. “Bethenny Frankel’s engagement ring looks to be a three-stone ring with a 15-carat-plus emerald-cut center with trapezoid side stones,” Fried said.
“The value should definitely top 1 million,” he continued. “With its stunning size and exquisite style, Bethenny’s ring is a nod to her relationship with Paul Bernon and their future together.”
The Skinnygirl mogul has been dating Bernon on and off for three years. Frankel was first linked to the 43-year-old businessman in 2018. However, the pair got together after they were spotted hanging out in Miami in January 2021.
However, the couple sparked engagement speculation earlier this month after Frankel was spotted rocking a giant diamond ring on the beach in Florida on Saturday, March 20.
