Charlene Ruto is soon set to be an officially married woman, and the details of her big day are already turning heads online.
The daughter of President William Ruto will wed Isaya Yunge on November 6, and among the highlights of her bridal look is a stunning ring that has caught the eye of many.
In photos she shared on Instagram, one close-up shot focused on her hand, showcasing what appears to be a two-tone floral cluster diamond ring paired with a classic Rolex Datejust watch in gold and silver.
The ring features a multi-stone diamond cluster head shaped like a blooming flower, with a central round diamond encircled by a petal arrangement of smaller round diamonds.
The band is yellow gold with a textured, milgrain-style finish, while the prongs holding the diamond head appear to be white gold or platinum, creating a striking two-tone contrast.
How much is Charlene Ruto’s engagement ring worth?
Jewellery specialists say the value of a ring with this design varies widely depending on the materials used.
A fashion or costume version using cubic zirconia and plated metal would retail for as little as $50 to $250 (roughly Ksh 6,500 to Ksh 32,000).
A moissanite or lab-grown diamond version set in solid 10K or 14K gold would cost between $800 and $2,500 (approximately Ksh 103,000 to Ksh 323,000).
However, if the ring is set with natural diamonds in 14K or 18K solid gold, the price climbs significantly, ranging from $3,500 to over $8,500 (approximately Ksh 452,000 to over Ksh 1.1 million).
The final figure depends on the total carat weight, diamond clarity and colour, as well as whether it carries a fine jewellery designer label.
