Miley Cyrus Steps Back Into the Spotlight with Engagement News
On December 1, Miley Cyrus made a high-profile appearance at the world premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash, where observers quickly noticed a ring on her left hand. By the following day, a source informed PEOPLE that she and Maxx Morando had become engaged. The announcement signaled a significant milestone for the pair, who met several years ago and have maintained a steady, private partnership.
Exclusive Details About the Rings Design and Estimated Value
Although Cyrus wore a sleek black strapless gown by Gucci, it was her engagement ring that commanded the most attention due to its striking style. Francesca Simons, speaking on behalf of jewelry designer Jacquie Aiche, confirmed to PEOPLE that the ring was custom-made by Aiche. It features a cushion-cut gemstone positioned horizontally on a solid 14-karat yellow gold band.
Experts noted that the rings price could vary widely based on its characteristics. Daniela Tarantino of Blue Nile estimated the value could reach as high as $450,000, explaining that the piece appears to be a 4- to 5-carat modified cushion stone priced between $300,000 and $450,000. Former Antiques Roadshow appraiser Reyne Hirsch offered a lower estimate of $150,000 to $250,000, depending on the stones clarity and color. Kristy Cullinane, co-founder of Plum Diamonds, added that the cost would be significantly lower if the stone were lab-created, possibly around $15,000.
According to Deux Moi, Cyrus was first seen wearing the ring in mid-November, weeks before showcasing it publicly on the red carpet. A source previously told PEOPLE that she and Morando were living together and that Cyrus felt deeply content with their relationship. The insider mentioned that she has undergone notable personal growth in recent years, appearing more centered and at ease.
The engagement ring symbolizes a new phase for the couple, and the widespread interest in its value highlights how closely the public follows Cyrus life. The original report appeared on RealityTea by Ishika Mishra, with the story later featured on Mandatory.
