Diamond expert Mike Fried previously told People that the ring appears to be a 15-carat plus emerald cut center stone flanked by trapezoid side stones.
Fried said the value should be at least $1 million in terms of how much it costs. Frankel and Bernon started dating in 2018. They met through a dating app.

RELATIONSHIPS TIMELINE
Over the years, Frankel has had her fair share of relationship troubles as she has been married twice. The TV personality’s first marriage was to Peter Sussman, an entertainment executive.
They tied the knot in 1996 following two years of dating but had known each other for five years. They married in front of 150 guests in Los Angeles but divorced a year later.

She then moved on to Hoppy, and they walked down the aisle in March 2010. The former couple welcomed their only child together two months later.
However, their romance went downhill as rumors of trouble in paradise started swirling, as reported by Champagne and Shade. After less than three years, Frankel filed for divorce in January 2013, which became messy and involved custody battles and drug abuse accusations.
