Somebody will get some good action over that thing. Then they’ll get screwed by the lawyers too.

And if it does not fit, resizing will cost a fortune!

Looks like a glass prop. Not impressed with the beauty. The tech yes, the style, no.

I work on Jewelry....that’s quite the ring though rather bulky in it’s appearance...I could think of better places to park 70 million.

A woman was simply shopping the mall a few months ago and then sported her ring front and center....18 carat..to wear “shopping”?????

Surgery on the lady's finger would be cheaper.

What was it cut from? It wasn’t some kind of grown crystal or something, was it?

What if it doesn’t fit? At that price I guess you get another fiance.

Whack it on the wrong sharp edge just right, and it’ll shatter, too...

“Somebody will get some good action over that thing. Then they’ll get screwed by the lawyers too.”

It must be stipulated in the contract that the “action” must continue without falter or failure, BS excuses like “headaches” are NOT acceptable!;))

Yup, that’s one ring you can’t get resized.

Looks great but personally a ruby, emeral, or garnet would look prettier...IMO

It could break if you simply dropped it on the sidewalk.

Like diamonds also, but it would have been better as a solitare diamond. Of course you’d have to keep your arm in a sling because of the weight....LOL
