Chris Arakel of The Diamond Bank in Los Angeles, revealed that the heavy rock is a "generous sized" diamond ring of approximately six carats. "It’s truly stunning and is set nicely with smaller diamonds around the main stone. He clearly wanted to make a statement with this ring; it can be seen from far away," he said in an interview.
