The engagement ring adorning Lauren Sánchez’s finger, courtesy of billionaire Jeff Bezos, has captured attention with its extraordinary features and significant price tag.
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, proposed to Sánchez in May 2023 during a romantic getaway in the South of France, where he presented her with a stunning pink cushion-cut diamond ring. The ring, estimated to weigh approximately 30 carats, is set on a platinum band featuring a four-prong setting that accentuates the diamond’s brilliance.
Initially believed to be a classic white diamond, Sánchez revealed to Vogue in November 2023 that her ring is actually a rare pink diamond, adding to its allure and uniqueness.
According to jewelry expert Briony Raymond, the value of Sánchez’s engagement ring ranges significantly due to its high-quality color grade and clarity, estimated between $3 million to over $5 million, depending on the specific characteristics of the diamond.
The couple celebrated their engagement with two lavish parties. The first took place on Bezos’ $500 million yacht, Koru, on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, just two months after the proposal. The guest list included prominent figures such as Bill Gates, Kris Jenner, and Sarah Staudinger.
In November 2023, Bezos and Sánchez hosted another grand event in Los Angeles to mark their impending marriage. The soirée featured a performance by Jewel and was attended by celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Salma Hayek Pinault, and Robert Pattinson.
Despite the grandeur surrounding their engagement celebrations, Sánchez and Bezos have yet to finalize wedding plans, with Sánchez expressing excitement about the possibilities. She disclosed potential interest in wedding dresses by renowned designers Christian Dior and Valentino.
The engagement ring has become a symbol of the couple’s enduring romance and has garnered attention not only for its size and rarity but also for the romantic gesture behind its presentation.
