When Travis Barker proposed to Kourtney Kardashian at the weekend it was not exactly a low-key event. Photos of the proposal show the couple surrounded by an extravagant display of roses and, while it looks like an intimate moment, reports claim that many friends and family were in attendance.
One of those in attendance was Kourtney's younger sister, Kim Kardashian, who later shared a photo of the ring Travis gave Kourtney, to her own Instagram. The ring is strikingly large, which has led many to speculate as to its cost.
Experts in the area of all things diamonds and sparkly gems have weighed in, giving their estimation of the value of the ring, and it is huge.
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told Page Six Style, that his valuation of the sparkler put the price of the ring at a whopping $1.86 million (US$1.34m) ."It appears Travis has bought into the Kardashian family philosophy of going big and going flashy with the enormous oval-cut diamond engagement ring he gave to Kourtney," states Fried. "It looks to be larger than 15 carats in a pavé or hidden halo setting," he continued.
