(IDEX Online News) – Estate jewelry auctioneer Joseph DuMouchelle announced it recently sold the 7.45-carat Harry Winston engagement ring that Donald Trump gave to Marla Maples for $300,000, according to a report on Forbes.com.
The emerald-cut diamond ring, with a rectangular, steep cut mounted in platinum with 16 channel-set graduated, straight baguette cut diamonds had a pre-sale estimate of $300,000-$350,000, and the company said that it was “thrilled the ring sold for the estimated price.”
