Compare Jennifer Lopez’s Engagement Rings From Ben Affleck: 2002 vs. 2022

usmagazine.com:

Outdoing himself. Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez for the second time with a new ring — even rarer than the one he gave her in 2002.Lopez, 52, revealed her engagement on Friday, April 8, in a late night “On the JLo” newsletter.

A video showed the “Waiting for Tonight” singer fawning over her ring in slow motion while audio included her whispering, “You’re perfect.”Affleck, 49, previously proposed to his Gigli costar in November 2002 with a rare pink diamond.

They never made it down the aisle, breaking up in 2004. However, Us Weekly confirmed in May 2021 that the pair reconnected, and nearly 20 years later, the Oscar winner popped the question with a different ring — but it might be even rarer.Jenny Luker, president of Platinum Guild International USA, estimates that the cost of the green gem is likely double the pink diamond’s price tag.“Jennifer’s ring appears to feature a natural green diamond, approximately 4-carats, set with side white diamonds on a platinum band,” Luker said in a statement to Us. “Since natural green diamonds are very rare, I would estimate this ring costs at least $5 million.”Corrine Taylor Davis, a gemologist at Do Amore, said the ring would’ve likely fetched about $3 million at auction.

She also assumes Affleck had to pay a premium for a stone of that color and quality. “There is literally nothing else on the market like it,” Davis explained in her analysis. “This means that Ben has been working on this ring for months through private channels.”The pink Harry Winston diamond was a rarity, costing an estimated $2.5 million in 2002 (even more now with inflation).
