Expert describes significance of Samantha’s ring
While the couple has not revealed details about the ring, jeweller Abhilasha Bhandari told Hindustan Times that Samantha’s ring features a portrait-cut diamond, one of the oldest and most timeless diamond styles.She explained, “Samantha wore a beautiful portrait-cut diamond ring that features the rare and exquisite Portrait Cut, a very thin, flat diamond with a large top surface and almost no depth. This historic cut was originally used in Mughal-era jewellery to cover miniature paintings and royal portraits and is how it earned the name ‘portrait cut’.”She added, “A cut that resembles strength, vitality, clean character of itself and the wearer. The first diamond always came out of Golconda. Due to the scarcity of cutting techniques and machines, this was one of the first widely popular cuts, also because it could be done on a rough diamond easily. The transparent nature of the cut and the gem has to be the best and of the most supreme quality else it’ll not look as it has a huge. This type of diamond has a very large surface area that is visible to the naked eye, much more than a round brilliant piece would.”
Portrait-cut diamond carries historical heritage

It was reportedly a favourite of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal for his wife Mumtaz Mahal.
