The ring is similar to those belonging to Victoria Beckham and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Age-defying, 59-year-old supermodel Jerry Hall recently got engaged to media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who bestowed his new fiancée with a Marquise diamond engagement ring that is rumored to have cost about 2.4 million British pounds ($3.5 million U.S. dollars), the Daily Mail writes. “Marquise diamond of this size is incredibly rare in the market, so Mr. Murdoch will have spared no expense at this impressive jewel,” David Allen, creative director of 77 Diamonds, told the news outlet. “This unique diamond shape was originally commissioned by King Louis XV in 1745 to create a diamond that resembled the smile of his mistress Madame de Pompadour and has been popular ever since, with Victoria Beckham and Catherine Zeta-Jones both sporting Marquise cut engagement rings.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
