Jennifer Lopez's stunning engagement ring from Alex Rodriguez is worth more than $1 million, according to three jewelry experts who spoke with Money. Experts estimate the emerald cut diamond could be anywhere from 12 to 20 carats — with a price tag that could balloon up to $5 million. "This is, without a doubt, one of the most remarkable celebrity rings that we have seen recently," says Benjamin Khordipour, of the New York-based [Estate Diamond Jewelry](https://www.estatediamondjewelry.com/). Indeed, the ring puts all the emphasis on its center stone — with little to no add-ons or frills. It's quite a stark difference from other recent celebrity engagement rings like [that of Katy Perry's](https://money.com/katy-perry-orlando-bloom-engagement-ring/), which featured a ruby center with eight round-cut diamonds surrounding it. "When you have a diamond this large and this flawless, you don't want to confuse things with intricate designs," says Michael Fried, the CEO of [The Diamond Pro](https://www.diamonds.pro/), who estimated that Lopez's ring could be worth up to $5 million. "The most classic style is a simple solitaire to show off this extremely rare and breathtaking diamond." "The elegant simplicity of the ring's design allows the gorgeous, show-stopping center diamond to be the focal point," adds Kathryn Money, vice president of strategy and merchandising at [Brilliant Earth](https://www.brilliantearth.com/). Fancy cut, non-round gemstones are growing more popular with celebrities, Money adds, pointing to [Beyoncé's 18-carat diamond](https://www.brides.com/photos/celebrity-engagement-ring-photos-beyonce) and [Amal Clooney's](https://www.thezoereport.com/p/amal-clooneys-engagement-ring-is-so-timeless-heres-why-12800990) emerald-cut diamond. Dropping anywhere from $1 million to $5 million on an engagement ring is perhaps not too big of an expense for A-Rod. Consistently the highest-paid player in Major League Baseball at the height of his career, Rodriguez is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And so is J-Lo, thanks to her robust career, endorsement deals, hosting gigs on *American Idol*, and more. Even if A-Rod spent up to $5 million, it's still not the most expensive celebrity engagement ring ever.
