MARIAH CAREY’S 35-CARAT DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING
We would never expect Mariah Carey to do things by halves. And when it came to her third engagement, the singer didn’t disappoint, receiving a 35-carat diamond ring from her Australian billionaire beau James Packer that is reportedly worth $10 million.
Designed by her good friend of 25 years Wilfredo Rosado, the ring took two weeks to make and is said to be the size of Kim Kardashian West’s and Beyoncé’s engagement rings combined.
“This was the most challenging piece of jewelry I’ve ever designed,” says Rosado. “I wanted to create the most gorgeous ring for my dear friend, but I also wanted to create the most stunning ring for one of the most iconic divas of our generation. I also wanted to make a ring that was perfect, in all the technical ways a ring should be. For me, it was super stressful. I didn’t want to fail her.”

Prices for the line range from approx. $320 for a sleeveless T-shirt to an insane $9000 for a black embroidered dress.
