The MailOnline revealed that Gemma’s engagement ring is worth more than £200,000.

The reality star was enjoying a five-star stay on the tropical island when Rami decided to propose on the beach after a romantic meal.

Alexandra Michell Gemologist at Prestige Pawnbrokers from Channel 4’s Posh Pawn estimates that Rami spent more than £200,000 on the pear-shaped diamond cluster ring.

She told MailOnline: ‘Gemma Collins’ striking pear-shaped diamond cluster ring has made its debut online as she announced her engagement.’

The expert added: ‘The substantial 4-carat diamond is nestled in a prong setting of white gold or platinum and is surrounded by a row of round brilliant diamonds.

‘The band is also decorated with round brilliant diamonds on either side of the shoulders. Pear-shaped diamonds are often associated with love and happiness, as the outline represents a tear of joy. It is also thought to symbolize individuality, glamor and empowerment.

‘This cut has been around for many centuries and the tapered silhouette will elongate the finger, giving the wearer an elegant look, whilst retaining the sparkle of a round brilliant.

‘This impressive ring probably had a purchase price of over £200,000.’

Rami had set up a seating area outside and flown out hundreds of roses so that petals could cover the sand where they sat, with the ring in a shell.

“Rami popped the question again in the Maldives and Gemma had no idea it was coming, she was so shocked,” a source said. The sun.

‘She is absolutely thrilled and can’t believe it’s finally happening. She didn’t know what was going on until a huge bowl of cakes came out and when Gemma started eating her mango dessert, Rami surprised her and said “look at that”.

“He had put up, ‘Will you marry me?’ on the sand.’

Gemma has known Rami for more than ten years. She met the businessman in 2011.

Rami originally proposed by placing the ring in a Christmas pudding in 2013 when they first started dating.

However, four weeks later Gemma had called off the engagement.

But the couple then reunited during lockdown, seven years after breaking off their original engagement.

Gemma revealed in November that she has embarked on a fertility journey in the hope of having her first child with Rami, who has a six-year-old son from a previous relationship.

The former TOWIE star has suffered three heartbreaking miscarriages and has been open about her struggles to conceive in recent years.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about her family plans, she revealed she was happy to hear that Tana Ramsay had welcomed her sixth child at the age of 49, as it gave her hope that she too could get pregnant in her 40s.

She said: “The Tana Ramsay news was the best thing to wake up to. Incredible.

‘It really made me think positively about my future and took the pressure off. I don’t think anyone knew she was pregnant so it was a nice surprise, but I got butterflies in my stomach when I saw it.

‘This is great news for me. I will be starting my fertility journey in the coming weeks. I’m going to a clinic, so watch these cards and get ready, sweetie.’

Also in the interview, Gemma said she was in ‘no rush’ to tie the knot after previously flying abroad to view various wedding venues.

When asked about her wedding plans, she said, “There’s just no rush for me! I love J-Lo, she and Ben got married at 50, they were ready to settle down and put on their comfy slippers, so I probably won’t do anything like that until I’m a little older.

‘There is no rush! You’ve been married for a long time, you’ve been married for a very long time, and I feel like unfortunately – and it’s sad – marriage is a bit old-fashioned now.

‘When you see people getting divorced and everything that comes with it, you’re like no! I don’t want that, I can’t bear the administration anyway, I didn’t feel like doing the paperwork. That’s why I’m just putting it off as long as possible.’

Gemma went on to say that marriage wasn’t a “priority” for her at the moment.

Admitting she hasn’t picked a wedding venue yet, she continued: ‘It could be Claridge’s, it could be Italy, who knows!

‘It could be in the middle of the forest, who knows! I’m just cool and happy the way we are right now… It’s just not a priority for me right now.”
