She’s also sporting a baby bump.

Russian supermodel Irina Shayk is showing off a new ring, and many are speculating that it’s a sign she’s engaged.

People magazine describes the ring as “a large emerald stone surrounded by a halo of diamonds on a gold band.” She was seen wearing it recently while shopping in Beverly Hills.

Shayk has also been sporting a baby bump — she’s expecting a child with actor and producer Bradley Cooper.

Layna Friedman, a jeweler in Beverly Hills, told Hollywood Life that the new jewelry “appears to be a stunning floral ring with an emerald center and platinum band.”

She said it’s likely worth $80,000 or more.

Friedman said the ring “appears to be a 3ct stone with a mix of white pearl and marquis cut diamonds to accent the beautiful emerald.”

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
