Valentine’s Day is looming and while some are dreaming of a diamond ring, the gold ring to eclipse all others has just landed in Dubai

Introducing the Star of Taiba (Najmat Taiba)
The mammoth piece of jewelry is worth a whopping AED11 MILLION and has been recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records and endorsed by the World Gold Council as the world’s largest gold ring.
It’s made up of 21-carats and 64 kilograms and is studded with 5.1 kilograms (11 pounds) of precious stones and diamonds, as well as 615 Swarovski crystals. It took 55 jewel smiths 10 hours a day, 45 days to craft the ring.
The price of the ring skyrocketed in recent years
The ring cost $547,000 when it was purchased in 2000, since then the price of gold has skyrocketed and the ring is now valued at $3 million.
