 RAPAPORT... A Harry Winston engagement ring once owned by Donald Trump sold for $300,000 at an auction in New York last week,
Forbes.com reported.
The emerald-cut, 7.45-carat diamond ring went to a private
collector whose name was not disclosed, according to the report. The selling
price translates to $40,268 per carat.
Joseph DuMouchelle, the Birmingham, Michigan-based auction
house that sold the ring, had estimated
it would fetch $300,000 to $350,000.
Trump, the presumptive Republican Party candidate in the
U.S. presidential elections this November, proposed to Marla Maples with the ring in
1991. Maples sold it for $110,000 in June 2000 through the same auctioneer after
their divorce in 1999.
