Donald and Melania Trump are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary today—a milestone that also coincides with Donald Trump’s second term as President. Whether you’re a fan or not, Melania’s engagement ring is a fascinating piece of history in its own right.
Crafted by Graff Diamonds, the ring features a 15-carat, emerald-cut D flawless diamond, symbolizing luxury at the highest level. At the time, its estimated value exceeded $1.5 million, making it one of the most extravagant engagement rings among First Ladies. The design became a trendsetter, inspiring countless similar styles in the years that followed.
Compared to other First Ladies, the difference is striking. Jackie Kennedy’s Van Cleef & Arpels emerald and diamond ring (2.88 carats) reflected timeless elegance, while Michelle Obama’s round-cut diamond ring (approx. 3 carats) by Loree Rodkin was more understated. Jewelry like this doesn’t just represent personal style; it’s a reflection of cultural and political moments.
