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.

how does that look like a sunflower? apparently he doesn’t know what a sunflower looks like.

Leslee on

It doesn’t look like a sunflower to me either.

I love yellow diamonds and yellow gold but it’s not easy to put them together. A white diamond halo around the stone would boost it’s color significantly rather than it getting lost in a sea of somewhat dull yellow. Hopefully it looks better in person and the picture is just not reflective of it’s sparkle.

If she loves it and it makes her feel special, then it’s the very best ring of all though.

Sarah on

I love how they say his “long time girlfriend” and they have only been together 2 years. I guess that passes as longtime in Hollywood :)

jones on

It’s not my taste and I don’t really think it looks like a sunflower (wouldn’t it need black?) But, it sounds like he paid attention to the things she likes in designing it which is really sweet and most likely means she likes it.

Vicki on

Not impressed…..

nene on

Nowhere does he say it “looks like a sunflower.” He said, “…so it’s like a sunflower.” I’m guessing that nobody would want a ring that actually looks like a sunflower.

Sarafina on

Today is my 21st wedding anniversary. I wish Diana and Ace all the love and best wishes for their engagement! Beautiful ring.

Positive on

They look super happy and that is what counts. Yes, it does not look like a sunflower, but who cares!!! He is not super rich and he tried to please her, that is what counts.

dennis on

I noticed he had to name the makers of the ring on TV….this is a bit odd….I assume the ring was free?

Guest on

Yuck!

Janet on

It’s very sweet. Not my style but then again it’s not my ring

funkytown on

why does everyone feel the need to be so mean and critical?? uh…have you heard of the term “bully”????
they obviously love each other and he put a lot of thought and effort into the ring…if she likes it, WTF should you care????

Gina on

I couldn’t date much less marry a man who had more hair than me :) The ring is pretty.

Dina on

He looks like he needs a bath and serious grooming.
The ring is no big deal..

Kelly on

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 Standing Behind You on

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

All the best to both of them.

Coco on

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!

Jon on

A very Pretty Engagement Ring!

Robyn on

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

sofia on

Amazing… humble and really personalized… Doesn´t need to have the biggest stone to be the most beautiful!! This is a true engagement ring. I would be impressed by the details this guy had colected! An inspiring gesture…

Sienne on

maggie on

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

Nikki on

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!

StyleWatch Fan on

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

Kristin3 on

More important than if this ring looks like a sunflower or not is the fact that this man really pays attention to Diana`s thoughts, feelings, and wishes. That is more important than any gold or diamond!

Cute couple… they seem happy together. I hope she loves the ring.

rlb237 on

I don’t like it, but they seem happy, so it doesn’t matter what I think!

3kittymama on

Such a cute ring. I have come to love canary diamonds over the years, and this one is really nice.

B on

aside from the yellow diamond, this ring is not pretty, but if she likes it and they are happy that’s all that matters!

jane on

For all the comments about his hair, did anyone read the article? He is in the revival of the broadway show Hair.

ctynan on

Its nice to see a realistic ring. I know that some of the celebs are super wealthy and have ginormous budgets, but I know that Ace bought this one with his hard earned cash. Its not a Neil Lane 4 karat diamond that is somewhat of an endorsement becuase some famous person has it on. There was thought, meaning and hard work into that ring. Very sweet.

svv on

I think it’s just great that they opted for a nice NORMAL size ring, not one of those 5+ carat gawdy rings that cost 500K that you always see the celebs showing off now…

Tam on

That was pretty bold of him to propose not only in front of a live audience, but to millions of people watching on TV. Good thing she said yes!

Vanessa on

Why does gold need to come back? My band is white gold, and I love it!!! Why does everyone have to be the same?

dibbee on

I did not know Ace was in Hair so that explains his style. I am happy for this couple but I do not think it was necessary to propose like that. Just like American Idol, it seemed so fake. It should be a private thing, not something seen by millions. The ring is pretty and I guess we are so jaded by other celebs’ rings that we think it is small. Most normal ladies are wearing rings exactly like it. So best of luck to Ace and Diana. They truly look like they are best friends and that is very important in a marriage.

I think all the ones on here that are slamming the ring or the couple must be very lonely. Who cares if he got the ring for free or if the ring has a small diamond. I don’t even wear real diamonds anymore. I wear the fakes for my wedding ring but my marriage is rock solid still after 20 yrs together, while everyone that I know that got married around me are getting divorced. There real rings did not make happy marriages so stop being so judgemental. I think they are going to gave a great marriage cause they are friends and that is what makes a happy marriage being best friends and then husband and wife,parents, etc
