Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told FOX Business the sparkling gem “appears to be close to 30 carats” based on photos he has seen.
“Pink diamonds are incredibly rare, among the rarest in the world,” he said. “For a number of years, pink diamonds were found in the Argyle mines in western Australia, but they’ve since closed those mines. It is jaw-dropping to see a pink diamond of that size.”
The diamond’s shape is cushion-cut.
Four prongs cradle Sánchez’s diamond, with small stones set into its band, according to Vogue. There are reportedly a pair of pavé halos on the ring as well.

The ring would have an auction value of “around $5 million” if it “were to go on the open market,” Fried said, noting it was “truly one of one.”
“It’s impossible to overstate the uniqueness of such a rare pink diamond and a rough diamond that was able to be cut into a 30-carat polished diamond,” he said. “Lauren’s ring may be an instant fashion icon, but it will likely end up in a museum with other iconic diamond jewelry pieces.”
