Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux engagement: How much is the oval-cut diamond ring worth?

Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc has announced his engagement to Alexandra Saint Mleux, with the pair confirming the happy news on social media.

The 28-year-old Ferrari driver and the 23-year-old model, influencer and charity founder, who have been dating since 2023, shared a series of photos on Instagram with the caption "Mr². & Mrs. Leclerc 💍❤️❤️❤️" alongside their dog Leo.

One of the photos included Leo's dog collar, which said, "Dad wants to marry you!" and a stunning display of candles with red roses.

The engagement ring

Fans also got to see Alexandra's engagement ring, which Neil Dutta, Managing Director at jeweller Angelic Diamonds described as "a refined take on a classic design."

"The oval-cut diamond, estimated at five to six carats, sits on a platinum pavé band that adds discreet sparkle without overwhelming the centre stone. It is elegant, modern and very wearable, the kind of piece that will look as current in twenty years as it does today.

But how much is it worth? According to Dutta, he explained, "A ring of this size and quality would be valued at around £400,000 ($525,000).”
