Rob Kardashian’s Jeweler Shares New Proposal & Ring Details (Exclusive)

Access Hollywood has
exclusive new details about that stunning engagement ring Rob Kardashian used
to propose to his girlfriend, Blac Chyna. Ben Baller, the jeweler who created
the diamond ring, told Access that Rob turned to
him for help in finding the perfect ring. He also revealed how the ring and
engagement plans played out, and the real value of the sparkler — which Chyna proudly showed off in a series of
social media photos on Tuesday morning.

The LA-based jeweler told Access the ring was a
rush order. According to Ben, Rob came to him a week ago and said, “‘I need something crazy — and quick,'” and that he needed a good price.

The jeweler, who said he created the ring in a week,
told Access that the engagement was at an indoor, private
location. Baller also told Access that despite a report that the ring was
valued at almost $400,000, the real value is bit
more modest (for a Kardashian). “The ring is valued at just under
$330,000,” Baller told Access.

Ben, who has known the Kardashians for more than 10 years, owns his own factory,
works fast, and has made more than 1000
rings, making him an ideal go-to for the rush-order
diamond ring. 

The two-hour meeting took place at
Rob’s house. Baller says Rob asked for
something “’crazy and quick,’”
Baller told Access of
their meeting, “Rob was smiling the whole time.” Rob “is
really happy,” he added. And five days later, Ben had the seven carat ring ready to
go.

Ben told Access that Rob understands the magnitude of this
[proposal] and he said Rob had never even thought about getting married
before. While he thinks of Rob as a younger brother, the jeweler said Rob
also has a few big brother type people around him. And, while he told
Access he was initially skeptical at first about the romance, Rob’s ring
designer soon realized Rob is serious. 

Rob, the youngest Kardashian and who has never married prior to his recent
engagement, also seemed to credit his new fiancée for his recent
slimmer appearance when Baller asked about Rob’s health. Baller said Rob told him,
“‘Chyna’s a really great cook'” and Rob also told Ben he is
“really happy.”

Ben has known Rob since Rob was a teen, and Ben’s cousin went to school
with Rob’s sister Kim, at LA’s prestigious private school Buckley.
The jeweler and the Kardashians have mutual friends in common,
including Brittny Gastineau, and Baller met Rob thru Rob’s good friend
Adam Goldstein. But Baller refused to say how he met Chyna, whom he also
referred to as “Angela” (her real name) during our
exclusive interview.

Ben claimed his other
celebrity clients include Kim Kardashian, Drake, Floyd Mayweather, Mariah
Carey, Justin Bieber, John Mayer, Snoop Dogg, Dwayne Wade, The Weeknd, Frank
Ocean and Nas.
