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.”

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
