Katy Perry is rumoured to have split from her fiancé Orlando Bloom, amid the singer's world tour. Earlier this week, the 'Firework' singer took to Instagram to share a video where she was seen feeding a kangaroo during the Australian leg of her tour – and she wasn't wearing her engagement ring.
Katy's engagement ring, which Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando presented her with when he proposed on Valentine's Day in 2019, remains one of the most outstanding celebrity engagement rings of the last decade.
"It was very sweet," Katy told Jimmy Fallon of her engagement. "It was Valentine's Day … we went to dinner, and I thought we were going to go see some art after dinner but we pulled up to a helicopter.

Now, jewellery designer Sophia Perez offers her insights on Katy's incredible ring we so rarely see in public.
What is Katy's ring made of?
Sophia tells us that the beauty of Katy's ring is owed to the impeccable stone and metals used. "Katy Perry’s engagement ring from Orlando Bloom is nothing short of extraordinary. The design features a vivid pink centre stone - likely a rare pink sapphire or ruby - surrounded by eight white diamonds arranged in a floral halo, creating a romantic and whimsical bloom-like effect," she explains.

How much is Katy's ring worth?
A ring like Katy's comes at a price, and with an estimated net worth of $40 million, Orlando's token of love was never going to be small.

"If the central gem is a high-quality, untreated pink sapphire or Burmese ruby, the ring’s estimated value would fall between $300,000 and $400,000."
