The luxurious ring that Cristiano Ronaldo gave to Georgina Rodriguez, recently revealed to the public, has sparked debate in the jewelry world. According to experts, it does not meet the criteria of a traditional engagement ring.
Jewelry expert Juana García Sánchez explains that Georgina's ring is not an engagement ring "because it is big and heavy. The stone, around 40 carats, is more suitable for a necklace than for a ring. Only the setting is perfect, while everything else is lacking." She describes the ring as a "cocktail ring," designed for special occasions and to attract attention, not to be worn every day.
Cocktail rings were created in the 1920s during Prohibition in the United States as a way for women to show off their independence and style. Unlike traditional engagement rings, they are large, showy, and not suitable for everyday wear. An engagement ring should be made of yellow or white gold, comfortable, and suitable for everyday wear, symbolizing love and loyalty.
