Experts value Drake's engagement ring necklace at $17 MILLION

Rapper and grammy award winner, Drake has been remembering his past relationships by creating a diamond necklace in tribute to all of the women he thought about proposing to but never did.

Made up of 42 engagement ring stones, the stunning piece of jewelry was made by New York based celebrity jewelry maker, Alex Moss and features an impressive 351.38 carats worth of diamonds.

Fine jewelry and diamond experts at UK retailer Steven Stone couldn't wait to take a closer look at the magnificent piece and have revealed everything you need to know - including how much it could be worth.

Leading diamond expert, Zack Stone, commented: "Drake's 'Previous Engagements' necklace is a magnificent piece of jewelry and probably the most impressive we've seen since Kendrick Lamar wore his diamond crown of thorns headpiece during his Glastonbury headline set back in June.

Made up of 42 diamonds from engagement rings Drake thought about giving to women but ultimately decided against, the necklace totals 351.38 carats and features multiple diamond shapes - including round, emerald, princess cuts. 

Central to the intricate piece is a pear-cut diamond. Pear cut diamonds are a timeless, vintage cut that represents an emotional bond or connection - suggesting that the rapper is keen to pay homage to his failed relationships with the piece, rather than spite them.

It's difficult to estimate a striking piece like this, particularly without information about the quality, but it looks to be worth approximately $17 million CAD."
