Birmingham-based auctioneer Joseph DuMouchelle on Wednesday sold the 7.45-carat Harry Winston diamond engagement ring Donald Trump gave to second wife, Marla Maples, for $300,000, Forbes magazine reports.
A spokesperson for the auction house said it sold at the expected price, Forbes reports. A private collector purchased it, though the name was not released.
“We are thrilled that the ring sold for the estimated price,” DuMouchelle said in a statement, according to Forbes. “We’re happy that the Maples-Trump Diamond now has a new home. It’s an extraordinary Harry Winston ring and we hope that the new owner will enjoy the rarity of its beauty.”
It was the second time the ring had been sold. Maples sold it to a collector in 1999 for $110,000, following their divorce in the same year, Forbes reports.
