Emily Wong Heather Rae El Moussa’s ring certainly has a special glint to it – most likely down to its whopping EIGHT carats. When her wedding to Tarek El Moussa aired on the big screens, we all caught a glimpse of the jewellery piece.
HGTV aired the happy couple‘s day, calling it Tarek & Heather: The Big I Do. When he put a ring on it, everyone instantly wanted to zoom in and catch a close-up of the gorgeous diamond on her finger.
We explored the jaw-dropping price of her eight-carat ring and what Tarek’s net worth is…
The price of Heather El Moussa’s engagement ring
The eight-carat, emerald ring worn by Heather after their engagement was specially made. As eight carats are extremely rare and valuable, it’s no secret that the piece of jewellery was worth a lot!
You can usually expect to pay between $12,500 to $40,000 per carat for a ring of this size. That’s on top of the price Tarek paid to have it shipped all the way from Europe to the US.
Tarek put the ring on Heather’s finger after popping the question on Catalina Island. It was truly a dream proposal, as he guided Heather down a beach path lined with flower petals and flickering candles.
Although the exact price of the ring is not publicly disclosed, the cost is likely to have been in the thousands.
