What a gem! For his surprise proposal on American Idol Wednesday night, Ace Young selected an 18-karat yellow gold, platinum and diamond engagement ring to present to longtime girlfriend Diana DeGarmo.

The David Webb sparkler, which features a 1-carat fancy yellow center stone, also boasts two side diamonds weighing .2 carats.

Young helped to design the ring, after hearing DeGarmo drop a hint. “A month ago, she said, ‘Gold needs to come back,’” Young told PEOPLE after Wednesday’s finale. “I was like, ‘I agree,’ so mental note. Her favorite thing is a sunflower and she loves yellow, so one of our dear friends [helped me] put together a ring that has a yellow diamond, a gold band and two smaller diamonds on the side that are clear, so it’s like a sunflower.”

The couple, who’ve been together for two years, met in the spring of 2010 when both signed on to costar in the Broadway revival of the musical Hair. DeGarmo appeared on Idol season three, while Young was on season five.

Aw it’s nice to see more people sporting yellow gold. My engagement and wedding rings are yellow gold, but my diamond is white (turns blue in the sunlight though!). I like that he didn’t give her a gaudy, cookie-cutter ring and it seems like she didn’t want that kind of ring. I think it’s pretty and I don’t usually like yellow diamonds. Congrats to them!

I’m not a fan of yellow gold, but it is a pretty ring.

All the best to both of them.

My husband gave me a very similar diamond for our engagement. I always loved it because it seemed to reflect a warm golden light, like love, not a cold, icy light. The yellow diamond was good luck for us and I know it will be for Ace and Diana. They are a beautiful couple, their strong, deep love really shows. Congratulations!

I think it is a beautiful ring, it is classy and tasteful not ostentatious. Best of luck to them!

I’m delighted for the happy couple. I’m a true blue fan of the Young and the Restless, and have loved watching Diana on the show. I’m not a materialistic person at all, however, (i can’t believe i’m going to say this) but, the stone, although beautiful, is abit small for my taste… 1 carat? in hollywood? really? I thought Ace was doing well. also, he mentioned david webber while giving Diana the ring…was the live advertisement payment for the ring?…i don’t know… regardless, all the best to Diana and Ace.. xoxoxo <3

I didn’t see the proposal, but I’ve read a few comments that say that he mentioned the designer of the ring on the air…. my bet is that he either got the ring for free or got a deep discount…
No man mentions where he got the ring(unless it was from Jared)…especially after he just proposed…it shouldn’t even be in his head at that moment.

I wish them all of the happiness!

Didn’t know they were dating, but love is grand. Hope they live happily ever after together.
