Everything you need to know about Jean-Bernard "The ring is crafted from platinum in a wide band and mounted with two large side stones for that added sparkle," said jeweller to the stars Vashi Dominguez. "Cheryl wears the showstopper with an elegant channel set diamond wedding ring – a popular choice which is understated and sophisticated yet still beautifully eye-catching. "This bridal set has a value of almost £300,000. I would estimate the new engagement at £275,000 and the diamond wedding ring at £15,000."

Although difficult to determine, jewellers 77 Diamonds added that the ring "looks to be around five or six carat with trapezoid cut diamonds either side."

How to take care of your diamond engagement ring After Cheryl Cole and Jean-Bernard's whirlwind romance, it seems the luxury restaurant and nightclub owner has pulled out all the stops and improved on Cheryl's previous rings, presented to her by her ex-husband Ashley Cole, said Vashi. Footballer Ashley proposed with a yellow, heart-shaped diamond engagement ring worth around £150,000, said Vashi, and then followed it up with another consolation rock after reports emerged that he had been unfaithful. "After the cheating scandal, Ashley attempted to 'wow' her back and bought her a huge six-carat princess cut diamond ring, with a complementing dazzling yellow diamond halo setting," said the jeweller. "This set him back £160,000."
