Melania Trump’s engagement ring cost huge sum – is it worth more than Donald’s ex-wives?

Melania Trump is a former model who has been the US first lady since Donald Trump became President in 2017. When the couple wed, Melania was given a stunning diamond engagement ring that cost an eye-watering sum of money. Was it more expensive than the rings he gave his ex-wives?

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 $3 million which is around £2.3 million.

“At the time, Trump hit the headlines for claiming he had enjoyed a 50 percent discount. Graff was later quoted saying ‘We don’t sell items for publicity value’.”

Although the jewel was already worth a huge amount, Donald upgraded it ten years later as an anniversary present.

A decade later on their 10th anniversary, Donald Trump upgraded the size of Melania’s ring to a 25 carat diamond, also from Graff,” Tobias added.

“This is the ring Melania decided to wear in her official White House portrait.

“That 10th anniversary ring would today retail for $3.5 million or £2.7 million – 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.”

Ivana Trump ring

Before meeting Melania, Donald had been married twice before and was first wed in 1977.

He said his nuptials with Czech model, Ivana Trump, 70, and the couple had three children together, Donald Jr, 42, Ivanka, 38, and Eric, 35.
