Jennifer Lopez 'will keep $5M green diamond engagement ring' from Ben Affleck amid divorce - as her wedding ring collection is now at $17M

As I delve into the world of these illustrious celebrities and their dazzling diamond rings, I can’t help but marvel at the extravagance and romanticism that envelopes them. Each ring tells a story, a tale of love lost and found, of dreams fulfilled, and of the unyielding allure of fame and fortune.


Since Jennifer Lopez has formally initiated the divorce process with Ben Affleck, there’s curiosity about what might happen to the emerald-cut, $5.6 million engagement ring she received from him – a ring she considers lucky.

Based on her past, there’s a strong chance that this ring will join her existing collection of five engagement rings, significantly increasing its worth to more than $17 million.

She’s still in possession of the pink stone that Ben gifted her two decades back, along with the wedding bands from ex-husbands Marc Anthony, Cris Judd, and Ojani Noa. Additionally, she owns the engagement ring from Alex Rodriguez, a man she never married.

But her most expensive is still the $6.5m blue diamond ring from Anthony.

Laura Taylor, an expert on engagement rings at Lorel Diamonds, shared with DailyMail.com that Jennifer Lopez has gathered an impressive set of engagement rings throughout her life, with each ring symbolizing a unique phase in her journey.

In the U.S., engagement rings are generally seen as presents. Consequently, Jennifer Lopez has legal rights to retain the ring following their divorce, unless a prenuptial agreement states otherwise.

Since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn’t establish a prenuptial agreement, it’s expected that the magnificent 8.5-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring will become part of her personal jewels.

By incorporating a $17 million-valued emerald-cut green ring from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez’s engagement ring collection now boasts a staggering estimated worth.

“Among all the jewelry she owns, the one that holds the highest value and is dearest to her is the blue diamond ring from Anthony. This piece, as she stated in a 2021 interview, outranks even the pink diamond ring Ben presented during their initial engagement, making it her most cherished jewelry item.”

Although her new engagement ring is undeniably stunning, I have a feeling that Anthony’s engagement ring will remain her favorite one.

She’s been married to Marc for a decade, and they have two children together from this union. Given these sentimental connections and the fact that it’s one of the most expensive pieces in her collection due to its impressive size, exceptional quality, and rarity as one of the world’s scarcest colored diamonds, only surpassed by green diamonds, it holds a significant value for her.

In a recent reveal, Taylor, an expert on engagement rings from Lorel Diamonds, provides insights into the features and estimations of value for the six stunning rings that Jennifer Lopez owns.

In the year 1997, Jennifer Lopez got her initial engagement ring from Ojani Noa. It was a stunning 3.5-carat marquise-cut diamond set on a yellow gold band, maintaining a balance between simplicity and elegance. Today, this ring is estimated to be worth approximately $130,000.

In the year 2001, Cris Judd presented a stunning emerald-cut diamond mounted on a platinum ring adorned with smaller diamonds (pavé), estimated to be valued at approximately $200,000.

Then there is the pink ring. 

2002 saw Ben Affleck propose with an extraordinary ring featuring a 6-carat radiant-cut pink diamond, surrounded by two dazzling white trapezoid-shaped diamonds, all set upon a platinum band. This eye-catching accessory grabbed headlines.

‘This well-known ring, estimated to be worth around $2.6 million, ranks among the most renowned colorful diamonds used for engagement rings globally.’

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must share with you the breathtaking piece that graces my finger – a priceless treasure in my collection. This exquisite ring, adorned with an 8.5-carat blue radiant-cut diamond, is nothing short of spectacular. Flanking this stunning centerpiece are trapezoid-cut diamonds on a sleek platinum band. A gift from the one and only Marc Anthony, it’s valued at a staggering $6.5 million today.

‘Despite having received more rings since, this remains J.Lo’s most treasured piece of jewelry.’

In 2019, Alex Rodriguez proposed with an eye-catching, 15-carat emerald-cut diamond ring mounted on a platinum band. This stunning piece of jewelry carries an estimated value of approximately two million dollars.

Ben Affleck reproposed to Jennifer Lopez with a stunning 8.5-carat emerald-cut diamond, surrounded by trapezoid diamonds and secured on a platinum ring. The unique piece is valued at approximately $5.6 million due to the scarcity of genuine green diamonds, a color that also brings good fortune for J.Lo.

Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on Tuesday.

In the early 2000s, the renowned celebrity became engaged to actor Ben, who was 52 at the time. However, they later parted ways, and surprisingly, they rekindled their relationship in 2021. Regrettably, after two years of marriage, they have decided to separate once more.

Based on papers acquired by TMZ, it appears that the artist known as Jenny From the Block submitted court filings in Los Angeles County Superior Court without the assistance of a lawyer.

The separation date is marked as April 26, 2024; however, it was actually two years since their second wedding in Georgia on that day, which took place following their initial wedding in Las Vegas, exactly two months prior to that.

Based on reports from TMZ, it remains unclear in her documents if a prenuptial agreement exists, however, sources suggest that no such agreement was made before their marriage.

From my perspective as a lifestyle expert, I’ve noticed the ongoing speculation about the state of Jennifer’s relationship, yet she remains silent on the matter. Interestingly, Jennifer shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her former husband Marc Anthony, while also being a stepmother to Ben and Jennifer Garner’s children Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12). Not so long ago, she expressed that the bond between them was a ‘real, true love.’

She shared with the Metro newspaper: “I penned ‘This Is Me… Then’ around the time Ben and I fell in love about twenty years back. Incidentally, we reconnected later in life. And on the 20th anniversary of ‘This Is Me’… Then, I disclosed that I would write ‘This Is Me… Now’. This was sparked by the awe-inspiring miracle that had transpired.”

His return to my life and our unexpected reunion sparked the motivation for creating the album. It seemed as if the songs flowed naturally from within me, straight into the studio.

‘It held an organic and stunning charm, undeniably influenced by the remarkable opportunity for a genuine, deep-rooted love’s second shot.’
