MAYA Jama flashed her incredible £800,000 diamond ring beside her boyfriend Ben Simmons as they were pictured for the first time since confirming their engagement.
The happy news, which The Sun exclusively revealed last year, came after a whirlwind seven-month romance. TV star Maya was seen walking with NBA ace Ben in Philadelphia this week sporting a huge emerald-cut diamond ring on her finger.
The expensive sparkler - which Ben chose himself - was prominently on display as they returned from a workout at the gym. Experts from H&T Pawnbrokers said of the jewellery: "The engagement ring appears to be a large Emerald cut Diamond of good colour possibly G or H with fancy cut diamond shoulders, possibly trapeze cut. "It is clearly mounted and set in either white gold or platinum.
The large Emerald cut centre stone is between 8 to 10 Carats in weight. Based on this assessment, we believe the ring would retail around £700,000-£800,000." Maya, 27, began dating Aussie Simmons, 25, in May and grew closer to the 6ft 11in hunk during trips to the US.
