    HUGE

    You’ve probably not cried enough after finding out Kate Middleton’s wedding dress was more than your annual salary, or that you’ll never be able to afford this Hermes bag, so we thought we’d throw in a big fat diamond too.

    Said diamond is 70-carat (who knew that existed?), emerald cut and is part of an engagement ring which cost $8m (£6.2m). We think it might be one of the biggest in the world, it would definitely give Elizabeth Taylor a run for her money.

    It was given to model Ksenia Tsaritsina by her Russian oligarch finance Aleksey Shapovalov earlier this year, and the pair married in a lavish ceremony this weekend.

    They got hitched at Moscow’s Barvikha Luxury Village hotel and the wedding apparently cost a few millions as well. Not surprising tbh.

    The bride wore not one, but two wedding dresses. The first one was an intricately beaded ballgown, accessorised with a tiara, and in the evening, she opted for a low cut, lace dress with matching veil.

    Of course, the cake was pretty impressive too, an eight-tier affair decorated with crystals and flowers.

    Now we know what you're thinking, how the heck do you get anything done with a ring that size? Well, judging by Ksenia's Insta feed, she does have a smaller, though still massive) back-up ring for every day use.

    Now excuse us while we stare at that ring one more time.
