The Diamond Pro launches the first artificial intelligence diamond buying tool to let consumers ‘see’ true diamond quality online before making a purchase. Read the official announcement, or, access the media kit.

The Diamond Pro CEO Mike Fried tells Page Six Style that the stone is surrounded by a “halo of diamonds” and features a “deep green hue” that adds to its beauty and value. “Finding a high-quality emerald of that size is no small feat,” Fried says, adding that he estimates the ring to cost around $500,000. “The ring is a stunning display of Tinsley’s style. It shows that she’s not afraid to step out of traditional choices and opt for a style that radiates with character and color.”
Diamond expert Mike Fried explained that the shape is formed by three stones. “It features three stones in a swooping design. The stones appear to be two diamonds flanking a purple stone,” Fried pointed out. Speaking of the purple stone that’s sure to start an engagement ring trend, Fried has narrowed down what the stone might be. He states, “It could be a diamond, sapphire, or alexandrite.” “What stands out the most is the ring’s intricate design,” Fried detailed. “It is far from a traditional or classic ring. Zooey is a one-of-a-kind person, and it’s evident that Jonathan Scott sees that and values that about her.”
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, tells us that the shape of the setting allows for “maximum light [to] hit [the diamond], giving the stone exceptional brilliance and fire.” He believes the ring weighs in at “at least 8 carats” and is worth a quarter of a million dollars at minimum – possibly closer to $350,000.
“A high-quality diamond this large is very rare and therefore exceptionally expensive,” Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro says, agreeing with a million-dollar valuation and asserting it could be worth up to $1.5 million. “Finding a high-quality diamond in this carat weight is exceptionally rare, and weeks of planning likely went into selecting Katharina’s exact diamond. The size and beauty of her diamond is truly breathtaking.”
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, estimates the stone to be up to 10 carats and clocking in at at least $750,000.
To better understand the similarities between both rocks, Nicki Swift consulted with Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro. Noah’s ring features “a round diamond that appears to be 2 to 3 carats,” Fried told Nicki Swift. “I’d estimate the value at $75,000. Her band is pavé, meaning it’s lined with smaller diamonds, giving the ensemble sparkle and personality.” And while a $75,000 ring is definitely impressive, Fried believes Firerose’s ring cost even more! “Firerose’s ring, on the other hand, appears to feature a 5-carat round diamond in a cathedral setting. I’d estimate the value to be about double that of Noah’s ring at $150,000,” Fried added. Given that both couples are in different stages of life, it’s not surprising that Billy Ray Cyrus has more money to devote to an engagement ring than his daughter’s fiancé. However, the rings are quite similar, too. “They both feature round cut diamonds and pavé bands,” Fried continued. “The significant distinctions are the carat weight and the setting style. Firerose’s diamond is that much rarer and more expensive. Her diamond also sits higher and is more pronounced. Noah’s ring has a beautiful halo that highlights the center stone.” Above all, “each ring fits their personalities and their unique styles.”
The gorgeous yellow-gold engagement ring features two stones and has a royal touch, according to diamond expert and CEO of The Diamond Pro, Mike Fried, who spoke exclusively with The List. “Asymmetrical rings are rising in popularity, as many couples desire a unique ring. Still, they remain a rare breed of engagement rings,” he Fried. While explaining that designing this particular kind of jewelry requires more time and money, Fried said that choosing two distinct gemstones or shapes allows a couple to “express their personality and history together.”
Mike Fried told Nicki Swift that Jana Kramer’s stunning engagement ring from Allan Russell appears to weigh around four carats and could be worth as much as $100,000. “While most celebrities choose a round or oval cut, this ring shows that Jana is comfortable and confident in herself,” Fried explained. “The level of detail that went into designing this ring speaks to the couple’s strong commitment to one another.” Fried estimated that ring was four or five carats and had a slightly higher estimated net worth, as he valued it at around $120,000. But it’s certainly not all about the money. “The ring from Mike has small diamonds surrounding the center stone in a halo and running along the split shank, for a more sparkly, maximalist style. Her ring from Allan is more sleek and mature with clean lines,” Fried shared.
Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, shared his thoughts on the “timeless” rock, which she paired with black Chanel trousers and a shirt, and a ruffled Chanel Haute Couture gown at the Cannes Film Festival. “Margaret’s beautiful diamond ring looks to be 4 carats and I’d estimate the value is near $100,000 depending on the quality of the stone. The ring is made of either white gold or platinum and carries a timeless look,” he said, adding: “With this artistic couple, the ring likely has some unique detailing near the diamond, giving it personal meaning and flair.”
