The ring’s presence raises many questions about whether 49-year-old Affleck had raised questions, in particular: could this be the same ring Affleck gave to Lopez when they were first engaged in 2002?
It is difficult to tell the shape or color of the stone from the pictures. Of the five engagement rings that have been given to Lopez by her previous partners, including rings from ex-husband Marc Anthony and ex-fiancé Alex Rodriguez, her 2002 engagement ring from Affleck became famous because it featured a huge pink diamond. which was very rare. at that time.
The diamond was Harry Winston’s 6.1-carat, radiant-cut, blush-colored stone, according to adventure, a website that covers jewelery news. The ring also had two trapezoidal white diamond stones set on the edge of the pink stone. Affleck reportedly paid $2.5 million for it in 2002.
If the “Argo” director wants to ask questions in 2022, he might not need to go ring shopping again.
A report in the mid-2000s quoted a Harry Winston spokesman as saying that the New York jeweler “recovered” the pink-diamond ring after Lopez and Affleck called off their engagement in 2004. But Lopez’s former publicist, Robert Shutter, pointed out. The singer and actor held the ring in “Access Daily” last May, Reported page six.
“As far as I know, Jane has never returned the ring,” Shutter told “Access Daily.” “So if things go ahead with these two, gosh, she’s already got the most beautiful ring I’ve seen. It’s absolutely amazing.”
However, it should be noted that if Lopez put it, this is contrary to Emily Post Institute etiquette guidelines, Medium.com told, When an engaged couple breaks up, the polite thing to do is to return a ring, regardless of who annulled the engagement. The engagement ring symbolizes the promise of marriage. “When the engagement is over, the ring goes back,” the institute said.
Perhaps, Lopez and Affleck felt deeply that they would find each other again. Which is why Lopez, who is currently starring in the rom-com “Marry Me,” kept the ring, or she let it. In this way, it can be romantic and practical too, if they recycled the ring from their first attempt to love forever.
Lopez and Affleck were initially scheduled to tie the knot in September 2003, but postponed their marriage, citing excessive media interest in their high-flying romance. The “Gigly” co-stars eventually broke off their engagement and broke up in 2004. Each married someone else, started a family, then got divorced. They both went on dates or got engaged to more people, before rekindling their romance last spring.
An engagement makes sense at this point, given that they are in escrow for a $50 million property in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles. With 10 bedrooms and 20,000 square feet, the mansion has space for them to build a home for a blended family of five children.
In a 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer For ABC News, Lopez talked about how Affleck first proposed, handing her a note in which she asked, “Will you marry me?” When Affleck grabbed the ring, Lopez said she couldn’t help but notice that it was a pink diamond—her favorite gem.
“I was like ‘Oh my god, this can’t be pink on top of this.’ It was too much for me to handle,” Lopez told Sawyer. As she passed over the ring, admiring her grandeur, Affleck reminded her, “You didn’t answer me.”
After Lopez showed Sawyer her ring, the diamond “changed the course of jewelry history,” said Adventurine. In the early 2000s, Lopez’s pink diamonds created a new fascination with pink-hued stones.
“The duet launched Pink into the public consciousness and the hearts of well-heeled rock hounds,” said Adventurine.
as a diamond specialist page six told, 90% of pink diamonds come from the Argyle mine in Australia, but because the mine announced it would close in 2020, it meant the sparkler Affleck gave to Lopez in 2002 became more valuable. Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told Page Six that the ring could now cost $11 million.
The exclusivity of the pink stone made Affleck want to buy it for Lopez, she told Sawyer. “He was like, ‘I wanted you to have something that no one else has,'” Lopez said, adding that the ring was “the most wonderful thing I’ve ever seen.”
