When you’re a billionaire, you’ve got to bring the bling.
Cristiano Ronaldo may have married longtime love Georgina Rodríguez in a low-key ceremony staged in their own living room in Portugal, but the couple were still dressed to impress.
Wed on the 10-year anniversary of the day they met in the Madrid Gucci store where Rodríguez was working, the duo (along with their five children) were outfitted in understated Gucci.
But nothing about the bride’s jewelry was simple; she pulled from Chopard’s most precious archives to swath herself in more than 250 carats of diamonds from the French brand, Page Six Style can confirm.
The centerpiece of her bridal look was the Chopard Garden of Kalahari necklace, which includes a pendant set with an exceptional D-flawless 50-carat brilliant-cut diamond as well as more than 146 carats of smaller stones.
Beyoncé previously wore the necklace to the 2025 Met Gala, styling it without any of the three “petal” pendants.
Rodríguez, meanwhile, wore the other two pendants — one featuring a 25-carat pear-shaped stone and the other suspended with a 26-carat heart-shaped stone — as earrings. All together, the collar and three pendants are worth around $50 million.
The bride also said “I do” wearing her gigantic engagement ring, which experts told Page Six Style could be worth $5 million and potentially upwards of 30 carats in size.
In an accompanying Vogue photo shoot, Rodríguez, 32, also sported a bracelet adorned with two emerald-cut diamonds (21- and 14.7-carats each) surrounded by 13.1 additional carats of sparkling stones.
She completed the suite with a ring adorned with a 20-carat cushion-cut diamond and 6.9 additional carats.
The jewelry is steeped in history; the necklace, earrings and bracelet are all from the Garden of Kalahari collection, which were made from the Queen of Kalahari: a 342-carat diamond, one of the most pristine rocks ever unearthed, which was painstakingly split into 23 separate diamonds over the course of a year.
She also selected a ring from the Haute Joaillerie collection featuring 5.7 carats of pear-cut and marquise-cut diamonds.
As for their wedding bands, the couple went just as simple as their ceremony, opting for plain gold rings.
“We’ve chosen to do it in the living room of our house here, where we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we live the reality of our lives,” Rodríguez told Vogue of the simple nuptials. “In 30 years’ time I want the children to think, ‘Something wonderful happened at this table—the wedding vows of our parents.’”
“I want something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home,” she added. “Because castles, houses, islands, horses, cars: We have all of that within reach every day. But something intimate—that’s more unusual for us.”
The bride did promise to host a big wedding at a later date — and we expect an over-the-top wedding gown to match.
