Ivanka Trump

In 2009, Ivanka Trump married the real estate developer Jared Kushner. A wealthy man, Kushner had no trouble spending $500K on getting Ivanka the perfect present: a 5.22-carat, cushion-cut diamond. But the minute Donald Trump became President, Ivanka started wearing it less. Why?

Ivanka and Kushner’s marriage is going strong, but international politics is no place for $500K gifts! When she started working alongside her father, Ivanka decided it was better to leave the stone at home when she was on duty. It makes sense, as pricy gems can look overly ostentatious to foreign diplomats and certain political circles.
