Jewelry expert says it’s 12 to 15 karats.

Russell Wilson and R&B/pop singer Ciara have decided to tie the knot after the Seattle Seahawks star quarterback proposed with a diamond ring that is estimated to have cost about $2 million, Hollywood Life writes. The entertainment website spoke with David Harris of David Harris Designs, who described the ring as such: “This brilliant cut solitaire is approximately 12 to 15 karats and looks to be a D through F colorless diamond, which means it’s a really good diamond. I would estimate the center stone to be worth between two and 2.5 million dollars based on one which I recently sold to a very wealthy client.”

By the way, this is not Ciara’s first monster engagement rock. In 2013, she was engaged to rapper Future with a 15-carat diamond. The marriage never happened, though — the couple broke up in August 2014 after Ciara allegedly caught him in having an affair with his wardrobe consultant.

I Feel Complete.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
