Ryan Destiny's Engagement Ring: A 3.5-Carat Oval, Priced
Published 2026-10-21 · From live tracked listings
Keith Powers and Ryan Destiny announced their engagement on October 21, 2026, and the ring is the cleanest possible expression of the 2026 market: a 3.5-carat oval-cut diamond in a platinum four-prong setting. Based on the couple's announcement photos, Benjamin Khordipour of Estate Diamond Jewelry assessed the stone as superb quality and estimated the ring's value at $160,000 (reported by Wedport, October 21, 2026). We track diamond prices for a living, so here is that estimate set against the ovals actually for sale tonight.

The reported ring
The details come from the announcement photos the couple posted. Khordipour, quoted by Wedport, identified a 3.5-carat oval in a platinum four-prong setting, described the stone as being of superb quality, and put the value at $160,000. Powers told Essence he had been planning the proposal for a year and a half. No jeweler of record has been announced for the ring itself, and the $160,000 is an expert's estimate from photographs — the right way to read it is as a well-informed valuation of a top-grade natural stone in a finished designer ring, not as a receipt.
The choice of shape is the trend story of the year. Ovals have been climbing for several seasons, and elongated cuts — oval, marquise and pear — now make up 47% of the listings we track; our 2026 elongated-shapes report breaks down why. Destiny's ring is a textbook example, and she was not the only one: Kamie Crawford's engagement, built around a roughly 4-carat oval in a pavé halo, was announced the same day.
The same stone at tracked retail
Facet Wire tracks 24 oval diamonds between 3.00 and 3.99 carats tonight (listings pulled October 21, 2026). The natural stones — the honest comparison set for a ring like this — run from $22,777 to $88,698, with a median of $55,190. The $160,000 estimate is about 2.9 times that median. The gap is not mysterious: an estimate built from photographs assumes top color and clarity grades, prices the finished ring rather than a loose stone, and carries the premium of a one-off piece. What the tracked market shows is the spread a buyer actually faces for the same shape and size — at the very same 3.52 carats, one tracked natural oval lists at $22,777 and another at $59,972.
The lab-grown side of the same band is a different universe: 14 tracked stones, median $2,505, cheapest $952. Same shape, same size, same sparkle chemistry — a different market entirely, which is why "what does a 3.5-carat oval cost?" has no single honest answer. Real listings from tonight's board:
