Actress Victoria Smurfit's new engagement ring may have cost up to €65,000, a luxury jeweller has estimated.
The Bloodlands star announced this week that her partner Steve Jacob proposed to her as she showed off her diamond ring on Instagram.
And Kyron Keogh, co-founder of British jewellery brand ROX, has estimated that the stunning diamond ring could retail for around £58,000 (€65,000).
He said that Victoria’s ring features a 2.5 carat “brilliant cut” diamond, which is designed to catch people’s attention by reflecting “as much light as possible”.

“If it's a natural diamond of superior colour and clarity, it would retail for around £58K,” Mr Keogh explained.
“The brilliant cut diamond is one of the most popular diamond cuts due to its ability to maximize the diamond's brilliance, fire, and sparkle. The cut is designed to reflect as much light as possible, creating a dazzling display that catches the eye and exudes beauty and elegance.
“This classic and timeless design has endured for generations and continues to be a popular choice for modern brides.”
Victoria revealed her happy news after splitting from her ex-husband Douglas Baxter, whom she married in 2000 and shares three kids with.
Sharing a photo of her newly decorated left hand and a snap of her planting a kiss on Steve’s cheek, the 48-year-old admitted that she thought her beau was “taking the mick” when he got down on one knee.
She wrote: “If you know #Himself you’ll understand why I assumed he was taking the mick. He wasn’t. Said YES. A lot. Maybe too many times. Have to retire this sign now… very happy Smurf. #himself is a keeper”.
