Jennifer Lopez's unexpected wedding dress choices took everyone by surprise and her ring is just as noteworthy. Although Lopez's engagement sparkler was valued at more than $3 million, the superstar's wedding band is considerably more low-key. According to engagement ring specialists at UK retailer Steven Stone, it's a 6mm platinum band, worth around $2,000. Leading diamond expert Zack Stone elaborated that, although "it's a fairly simple band, it perfectly matches the simple wedding that the couple went for."
Jenny Luker, president of Platinum Guild International USA, guesstimated it was even more reasonably priced. As she enthused to Hello! magazine, "Jennifer's wedding ring is a classic and timeless style! It looks like a wide, domed platinum band. Jennifer's ring is a beautiful symbol of her love and commitment to Ben because platinum is precious, rare and lasts a lifetime. I would estimate this ring costs around $1,000."
JLo's engagement ring, on the other hand, includes a natural green diamond that's been treated to enhance its color, utilizing HPHT temperature treatment, and boasts around nine to ten carats, per Steven Stone. An elongated cushion cut, it has three stones including two tapered baguettes. Us Weekly suggested it could be worth an eye-watering $10 million, but Luker reckons it's closer to $5 million.
Either way, clearly the engagement ring was the pricier of the two, likely because making a commitment was more important to the couple.
