When all the commotion died down regarding the wedding of Beyonce and Jay-Z, there was question about the non-existing rings on the couple’s fingers. Well, here’s a look at Beyonce’s $5 million dollar 18 carat diamond. Undoubtedly, the ring fits the pop star diva, and is equally representative of Jay-Z’s deep pockets, who reportedly earned an estimated $34 million in 2006, making him the richest rapper according to forbes.

The rare, octagon-cut ring is from Schwartz’s Jewellers, a long-time favorite of Beyonce and other celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera.

To be honest, I can’t understand how you could wear a ring that large. It would not only be heavy, but it would snag on just about everything. Even my tiny diamond snags any sweater that I wear!
