Bethenny Frankel’s new engagement ring by Paul Bernon is rated between six and seven digits, according to experts.
The 50-year-old “Real Housewives of New York” star was seen with a huge diamond ring on her finger while on vacation in Florida over the weekend – and now experts are assessing the cost of the diamond.
“It looks like she wore a three-stone ring with a huge 8-10-carat emerald-shaped center stone inlaid with two smaller diamonds with emerald details that we estimate to be around 3 carats in total,” Apeksha Kothari, director of operations from RareCarat.com, shared with Page Six Style on Tuesday.

“If it is a real natural diamond, I would estimate its retail value at up to $ 1 million for an emerald-shaped natural diamond ring this size,” continued the COO. “And if not … probably less than $ 5,000 as a good scam.”

Shannon Delany-Ron, director of marketing for JamesAllen.com, also agreed to a high price estimate.
“Bethenny is swinging a beautiful elongated emerald cut platinum diamond with trapezoidal side stones. This spark of three stones appears to be about 9 to 10 carats and priced between $ 500,000 and $ 750,000, ”said Delany-Ron.
Mike Fried, CEO of Diamond Pro, says the ring could “reach $ 1 million”.
