Lala Kent is getting real about things that apparently aren't.
The "Vanderpump Rules" alum, 31, revealed on her "Give Them Lala" podcast that she recently learned the ring her ex-fiancé, Randall Emmett, proposed to her with wasn't worth what he told her.
Speaking on the Dec. 15 episode, the former reality star said her ring that was previously valued at about $150,000 actually consisted of likely "brown" diamonds. The revelation came about one day after her mom was talking to Emmett "about how some rappers take s----y diamonds and make them pretty," she said.

"He tells me this ring was most likely brown," Kent shared, adding that the estimate she received for its worth was "in the teens."

Kent stressed that no matter the cost, she loves a ring that "has sentimental value." Still, she shaded her ex and the jeweler who appraised it at $150,000. She said she now understands why Emmett had to fly in to see his jeweler "four times to make sure the diamond was perfect."
"He had to make sure the s--t brown diamond was clear," Kent cracked.
Kent claims Emmett "knew the diamond he was getting."
Kent added that when she approached the original jeweler Emmett bought the ring from about it, he appeared "a little stressed out."
"But he says, ‘Well, you know, his name we shall not mention knew exactly what he was buying. He knew the diamond he was getting,'" Kent recalled.

The mother of one then reflected on what this realization has taught her.
"It just was like, wow, there's not one piece of my five years with this one person that has been truthful and honest. The only thing truth I feel that existed in my relationship was me and my daughter Ocean. That is where the truth ended. That is a hard pill to f---ing swallow," Kent said.

Penina Rapaport, an NYC-based diamond dealer, explained "brown" diamonds, telling Fox News Digital: "brown and yellow diamonds are the most common color in fancy color diamonds. Fancy color diamonds are diamonds that are not white; they are diamonds that come in different colors."
"The more rare the diamond the more valuable it is," Rapaport noted. "Fancy color diamonds come in all colors; diamonds that are red, blue, pink, and green are extremely valuable, while brown, black and yellow diamonds are worth significantly less."
"White diamond grading starts with D-F which is colorless and as it goes down in color it will generally have a yellow undertone," Rapaport continued. "The diamonds under F color can also have a brown undertone which makes the diamond less valuable than if it had a yellow undertone. When diamond dealers buy diamonds, one of the first things they check for is the color in the diamond; they especially do not want the undertone to be brown. In recent years there have been a number of companies marketing fancy brown diamonds. The fancy brown diamonds that are being marketed are dark brown diamonds that clearly look brown."
"The diamond material that is being mentioned here is a brown diamond that falls in between the fancy brown diamonds and higher quality white diamonds."
Kent and Emmett split in October after being engaged for three years. They welcomed daughter Ocean in March. The "Vanderpump Rules" star and the producer/director, 50, first met in 2015 and went public with their relationship in 2018.

"I am so ok on my own and by myself. I dig it. I am fulfilled," she said.
