How much does Simone Biles’ engagement ring cost?
So, how much does Simone Biles‘ engagement ring cost? According to Jenny Luker, president of Platinum Guild International USA, Simone Biles’ engagement ring costs around $325,000. “An oval cut diamond elongates the finger, and is also the diamond shape that Travis Barker selected when he recently proposed to Kourtney Kardashian,” Luker said in a statement to StyleCaster.
However, Jewelry designer Mark Broumand estimates the value of Biles’ engagement ring to be slightly lower at $300,000. “The ring features round diamonds studded on all three sides of the band in a domed shape as well as the center basket.

I would estimate this ring costs approximately $300,000.”
