Over the weekend, actor Chris Zylka proposed to Paris Hilton with a massive 20-carat engagement ring.
Diamond expert and celebrity jeweler Michael Greene told People that the statement piece is worth almost $2 million. In addition to the main 20-carat stone, the ring also has a platinum, split shank halo band that is emblazoned with two carats-worth of smaller diamonds.
Zylka knew Hilton loved his mother's pear-shaped ring, so the "Leftovers" actor decided to surprise her with the stunning design, according to Greene. "Paris was not involved. Chris did it all," Greene said. "He wanted to do everything so perfectly. He wants the best thing for his princess."
And when Zylka proposed to Hilton atop a picturesque mountain in Aspen, Colorado, she was blown away and had to say "yas."
"The ring was so gorgeous and sparkling. I was shaking as I put it on. It is the most beautiful ring that I have ever seen," she told People.
"I am so excited to be engaged to the love of my life and my best friend," Hilton continued. "I have never felt so happy, safe and loved. He is perfect for me in every way and showed me that fairy-tales really do exist!"
