Brooklyn Beckham announced his engagement to Nicola Peltz over the weekend via Instagram – and fans are already making guesses as to how much the ring is worth.
The photograph he uploaded shows Peltz wearing a lemon yellow dress, designed by his mother Victoria Beckham, and the ring can be seen on her left hand.
A subsequent photo posted on Brooklyn’s Instagram story shows a close-up view of Peltz’s ring, which appears to be an emerald cut diamond comprising between 4.5 and 5 carats.
Given its clarity, judging from the photograph, jewellers have estimated that the ring is worth up to £335,000.
Ben Jarrett of jewellery specialists and retailer Est1897 said: ”We estimate the ring to be a combined stone carat of between 4.5 and 5 carats worth of diamonds.
“A central elegant emerald cut diamond, the band itself is most likely platinum and is adorned with additional diamonds.
“The ring appears as though it is a D in colour and IF in clarity, the highest possible quality of diamond, with internally flawless clarity, free from any imperfections found on a ring, we estimate the price to be approx £335,000 for this unique designer piece.”

Brooklyn is thought to have designed the ring himself, leading Jarrett to believe that a high-end designer will be behind it, “which will also have enhanced the price”.
The jeweller noted that Victoria’s first engagement ring was a three-carat marquise-cut diamond set on a plain yellow gold band.
That ring was estimated to be £65,000 ($80,000) at the time.
Both Peltz and Brooklyn wrote gushing messages to one another in their respective engagement announcement posts.
“You’ve made me the luckiest girl in the world. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life by your side,” the Bates Motel star wrote.
