Paris Hilton is engaged to venture capitalist Carter Reum.

Paris Hilton is engaged, and she’s now wearing a ring that may be worth over $1 million.

Her boyfriend, venture capitalist Carter Reum, proposed on Feb. 13.

Paris Hilton’s engagement ring may be worth more than $1 million, experts say.

Reum “tapped Jean Dousset, the great-great grandson of Louis-Francois Cartier, to design a breathtakingly beautiful ring that appears to be lit from within.”

The ring is named “Paris” and its design was inspired by the city.

“Influenced by both classical and Art Nouveau motifs, it is framed by forms that resemble the vaulted glass ceiling of the Grand Palais,” Hilton stated.

Apeksha of Rare Carat estimates the value of the ring at $1 million, according to Insider. Kothari said the sparkler appears to feature a 10-carat emerald-cut diamond, along with a pair of shield-cut side diamonds.

Estate Diamond Jewelry had a bit of a different take on the ring and put its value at aroung $2.5 million. The firm told Insider it appears to have a 22-carat emerald-cut diamond.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
