In the realm of exquisite jewelry, Jennifer Lopez’s assortment rivals that of the legendary Elizabeth Taylor, particularly in the realm of engagement rings. Throughout the years, the 53-year-old icon has adorned herself with various dazzling designs, to be precise, six in number. However, the attention garnered by the stones selected by her current spouse, Ben Affleck, surpasses all others by a considerable margin.
In 2002, Jennifer Lopez was delighted to receive a beautiful pink diamond from an Oscar winner. She gushed about the ring in an interview with Diane Sawyer, expressing her awe and calling it the most magnificent thing she had ever seen. This Harry Winston diamond was valued at around $1 million and its 6.10-carat size sparked a trend for colored diamond rings. Even legendary diamond lover Barbra Streisand was impressed by it.
J.Lo’s second engagement ring from Ben Affleck is even more unique. It features a rare green diamond sourced by the renowned Ilan Portugali of Beverly Hills Diamonds.
Tamara Rahaminov and Nicol Goldfiner from Rahaminov Diamonds collaborated on the design of the ring. Green, the second rarest color for a diamond after red, holds a special significance for Lopez. In her newsletter, On The J.Lo, she mentioned that green is her lucky color and that she has had amazing experiences while wearing it. Portugali, a diamond specialist who has worked with renowned brands like Van Cleef Arpels and Harry Winston, agreed that the green hue adds an exceptional touch to the ring. He explained on Instagram that natural-color green diamonds with vibrant hues are exceptionally rare and highly sought after. He also highlighted that green symbolizes nature, tranquility, luck, and prosperity. In addition to the green diamond engagement ring, Affleck also gifted Lopez a pair of green diamond earrings adorned with pink stones for her recent birthday. It seems that Bennifer has not completely abandoned their fascination with pink diamonds.
