What we know about Ryan Tubridy's fiancée's conflict-free engagement ring
Ryan Tubridy's lab-grown engagement ring is understood to have set the broadcaster back the very sweet price of €3,750, Extra.ie has learned.
Smitten radio presenter Tubridy popped the question to his now fiancée, Clare Kambamettu, in her hometown of Clifden in Galway, presenting her with a ring he purchased from a local artisan jewellery shop.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, O'Dailigh Jewellers of Clifden provided a detailed description of the ring, saying Tubridy himself was involved in the design process.

The centre diamond is a 2-carat emerald cut with two tapered diamond baguettes on either side.'
Now celebrity engagement ring specialist, Seamus Fahy of Voltaire Diamonds, who is considered one of the foremost experts in lab-grown diamonds, told Extra.ie that Tubridy's conflict-free rock could have set him back a relatively reasonable €3,750.
'Going off that description, the ring would have cost around €3,750,' said Mr Fahy. Dr Clare Kambamettu and Ryan Tubridy. Pic: RTÉ
'Lab-grown rings are significantly less expensive; you're looking at about a quarter of the price of mined diamonds, so it really brings the cost down.'
Tubridy is, of course, famously aware of the environment, having ditched his car for a nifty scooter to run around town many years ago.

The Irish Mail on Sunday was the first to reveal that Tubridy and Ms Kambamettu had begun a relationship after meeting while she was a guest on his former RTE radio show.
Now, years on, and with Tubridy landing a new gig on Virgin radio in the UK, he has given Ms Kambamettu a forever rock in the form of a specially designed engagement ring.
On Monday, O'Dalaigh Jewellers in Clifden scooped Tubridy's big news, revealing on their business Facebook page that he had bought the ring for a 'very special lady'.
The post was accompanied by a photo of the jeweller, Tubridy and Kambamettu posing together outside the store.
Speaking on his radio show, the presenter said that he had some news to share 'that I was kind of keeping a little bit to myself and to ourselves'.
He said that while he likes to remain private, 'the cat has been removed from the bag for a number of different reasons'.
'I'm very, very, very happy to confirm that I did indeed get engaged to my partner Clare on Thursday evening in the west of Ireland, and it is a very beautiful feeling.'
Tubridy said he had 'got a beautiful ring organised and the weather was gorgeous'.
