 Recently it was revealed that singer Carrie Underwood was engaged to Ottawa Senator Mike Fisher. Well, the bulky engagement ring Carrie proudly displayed Monday night at the Ottawa Senators game is truly a jewel to behold. The value of the ring, however, is difficult to gauge – as different experts have provided differing opinions. A rep at New York’s Diamond Information Center said that the five Carat round diamond engagement ring, complete with diamond side stones, is worth a small fortune - more that $150,000. However, according to Mo Charania, a gemologist and owner of Jubilee Jewelers, it seems the ring is at least three carats - possibly more - and is certainly valued at six figures. “It's a centre round diamond and one row of diamonds around it called micro pave,” Charania confirmed after viewing photos of the ring. “I'd say the ring is worth well into six figures, but it depends on the quality of the stone,” he added. It seems likely that Fisher bought his bride-to-be the engagement ring through a private jeweler or at a U.S. jewelry store that specializes in fine-quality jewelry. Fisher and Underwood got engaged Sunday, after dating for 3 years. Underwood displayed her ring for the first time at that night's game against the Boston Bruins. Charania said Underwood's ring was similar in style to a Ritani - a world-renowned maker of diamond engagement rings. “It has that (same) look to it. Ritani was one of the first to bring back micro pave to jewelry design, and it's used extensively now,” he said.
