Here’s what experts say about the diamond ring
Jewelry expert Abhilasha Bhandari told Hindustan Times that Samantha’s ring features a portrait-cut diamond, a style known for its flat shape and transparent appearance. She explained, “Samantha wore a beautiful portrait-cut diamond ring that features the rare and exquisite Portrait Cut, a very thin, flat diamond with a large top surface and almost no depth.”
Bhandari added that the cut has roots in Mughal-era jewelry. She said, “This historic cut was originally used to cover miniature paintings and royal portraits and is how it earned the name ‘portrait cut’.” She also mentioned that the gem must be of the highest quality due to its transparency.
The estimated value of the ring is around Rs 1.5 crore as per the Times of India, making it one of the standout elements of Samantha and Raj’s intimate wedding at Ling Bhairavi Temple inside the Isha Yoga Centre.
While fans believe the February photos hint at an early engagement, neither Samantha nor Raj has confirmed the timeline. The couple, who kept most of their relationship private, officially tied the knot on December 1, 2025. Samantha wore a red bridal saree, while Raj opted for a white kurta pajama with a gold Nehru jacket.
