Mughal-Cut Diamond: Samantha's Surprise Ring
10 Sep
Summary
- Samantha's engagement ring features a rare portrait-cut diamond.
- Raj Nidimoru designed the ring entirely himself.
- The ring's portrait cut connects to Mughal-era Indian jewelry.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu's engagement ring, a lozenge portrait-cut natural diamond, holds a unique story as revealed by the actor herself. She disclosed that her husband, Raj Nidimoru, solely designed and selected the ring without her prior knowledge or input.
Samantha first saw the ring only at the moment Raj proposed. The distinctive piece was created by a Greek jewelry designer, identified as Theodoros Savopoulos. The ring is noted for its eight portrait-cut diamond petals, a style historically linked to the Mughal period in India.
Jewellery experts estimate the value of this rare portrait-cut diamond ring to be around Rs 1.5 crore. The couple, Samantha and Raj, celebrated their union with an intimate temple wedding on December 1, 2025.
