RHONJ's Dolores Catania Flaunts Jaw-Dropping 15-Carat Engagement Ring

In November 2023, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania, 54, got engaged to her longtime partner Paul "Paulie" Connell, 51. Connell designed an impressive 15-carat engagement ring for Catania, featuring an 11-carat center stone framed by four more carats of sparkle. The sleek silver band is lined with princess-cut diamonds.

Connell had initially purchased a stone early in their relationship, planning to use it if they got engaged. However, as he got to know Catania better, he realized the ring he had chosen did not align with her style. So, over a year and a half ago, Connell went back to the drawing board and purchased a new ring that perfectly matched Catania's preferences.
