Melania v Ivanka: Whose engagement ring was worth more? Shocking prices revealed
Melania Trump is the first lady of the United States who has been married to Donald Trump since 2005. When the couple tied the knot, she became stepmother to Donald Trump Jr, 41, Ivanka Trump, 38, Eric Trump, 35, and Tiffany Trump, 26. What was her engagement ring like? How did it compare to Ivanka’s?
Melania first met her future husband when she was a model in New York in 1998.
They dated for six years before Donald popped the question and they married on 22 January 2005.
The couple married in Florida and had the reception at Donald’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
On the big day, Melania stepped out in a stunning Christian Dior dress which cost $200,000, or £153,000.

When Donald proposed, the first lady was given a stunning diamond engagement ring with a whopping price tag, Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77Diamonds.com, explained.
He told Express.co.uk: “When Melania Trump got engaged in 2005, Donald Trump bought her a 15 carat, D Flawless, emerald cut diamond ring from Graff which would today retail for $3m which is around £2.3m.
“At the time, Trump hit the headlines for claiming he had enjoyed a 50 precent discount. Graff was later quoted saying ‘We don’t sell items for publicity value’.”
If the pricey ring wasn’t enough, Donald later upgraded the jewel as a present for his wife.
DON’T MISS
Tobias said: “A decade later on their 10th anniversary, Donald Trump upgraded the size of Melania’s ring to a 25 carat diamond, also from Graff – this is the ring Melania decided to wear in her official White House portrait.
“That 10th anniversary ring would today retail for $3.5m or £2.7m – it is significantly larger than Melania’s original engagement ring but it is not D Flawless, which is the top and most coveted diamond quality in existence.”
This means the engagement ring could now be worth an eye-watering £3million.
Melania is the stepmother of Ivanka Trump, who is Donald’s daughter from his first marriage.
Ivanka is a senior political advisor to the president with her husband, Jared Kushner.
The couple met through friends and married four years later and Ivanka was also given a stunning diamond engagement ring.
Did the ring cost more than Melania’s?
“When she got engaged to Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump received a 5.22 carat, D Flawless, cushion cut diamond on a diamond encrusted band which I estimate to be worth £400,000,” Tobias added.
