Ivanka Trump, 38, and Jared Kushner, 39, tied the knot on October 25, 2009. Jared proposed to Donald Trump’s daughter with a ring thought to be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Why does she not wear it?
Previously launching her own line of diamond and gold jewellery pieces, it is no surprise Ivanka has a stand out jewel.
It features a central square diamond and cost up to £400,000, Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77Diamonds.com, explained.
He told Express.co.uk: “The ring is rumoured to be a 5.22 carat, D Flawless, cushion cut diamond on a diamond encrusted band which would be worth about £400,000.
“The couple married in 2009. It is thought to be designed by Ivanka but Jared chose the central diamond. She rarely wears it.”
DON’T MISS
At the beginning of their marriage, the former model would often be seen wearing the eye-catching rock.
Although Ivanka was reportedly involved in creating it, she rarely wears it now.
Tobias added: “Ivanka Trump’s engagement ring, which she received when she became engaged to Jared Kushner, has been conspicuous in its absence even for formal occasions all these years.”
This could be down to Donald Trump’s recent political role.
Donald was inaugurated as the 45th US President in 2017.
“In recent years,” Tobias continued, “Ivanka may feel in international political environments it sends out the wrong message to wear large ostentatious pieces of jewellery which can be inappropriate when she is tackling socially sensitive issues such as women’s rights and inequality.
“Prior to their political exposure, the Trump’s were more ready to make grandiose public displays of wealth.”
The mother-of-three has cut back on wearing lavish jewels in general since Donald entered the White House.
Ivanka Trump: Five facts about Donald Trump’s daughter
Real name
Ivanka is not, in fact, her real name. She actually shares her mother’s name Ivana.
Explaining why she is known as Ivanka in a 2010 tweet, she said: “In Czech, Ivanka is the baby name for Ivana, like Bobby is to Robert.”
TV appearances
Ivanka was well known to the American public before her father became President thanks to appearances on TV.
She made short cameos on Project Runway and Gossip Girl, as well as becoming a primary boardroom member on The Apprentice with Donald.
Wedding
Ivanka married Jared Kushner on 25 October 2009 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, after a three month engagement.
Barron Trump served as ring bearer, as Ivanka wore a custom Vera Wang gown accessorised with diamonds from her fine jewellery collection.
Religion
Ivanka was raised as a Presbyterian Christian, but converted to Judaism to allow her to marry Jared Kushner.
Ivanka studied with Elie Weinstock from the Modern Orthodox Ramaz School, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City.
She now keeps kosher and observes the Jewish Sabbath. Ivanka said in the February 2015 edition of Vogue: “We’re pretty observant… It’s been such a great life decision for me… I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity.
“From Friday to Saturday we don’t do anything but hang out with one another. We don’t make phone calls.”
Career
Ivanka ran a fashion line for 11 years, only recently closing it down. She also had a fine jewellery store which closed in March 2017.
Ivanka now focuses on her role as an advisor to the President, Donald Trump.
