Serena Williams’ Engagement Ring Has So Many Carats It’s Almost as Legendary as Her Career

Given the fact that Serena Williams had such an impressive career as one of the greatest tennis players to ever step on the court, it makes sense that she has one of most impressive and greatest celebrity engagement rings.

Alexis Ohanian proposed to Williams in December 2016 at the Cavalieri Hotel in Rome, the same location where the couple met a year earlier. He asked the Queen of the Court to marry him with a stunning sparkler fit for royalty. Today, Williams’ ring still ranks as one of the most exquisite and expensive celeb engagement rings.

Now, the jewelry and diamond experts at the U.K. retailer Steven Stone are taking a closer look at the rock Ohanian gave his wife and are sharing several details about it, including how much it’s worth.

Maxwell Stone told Showbiz Cheat Sheet: “Serena Williams is a true icon, so it’s no surprise that her engagement ring is every bit as legendary as her career. The 12-carat oval diamond at its center symbolizes strength, brilliance, and endurance — qualities Serena has embodied on and off the court. Flanked by two semi-circle stones, the design reflects balance and partnership, making it a perfect emblem of her love story with Alexis Ohanian.

“I’d estimate it to be worth an astonishing $2 million.”
