The actress, who is known for her roles in movies like "Terminal" and "The Art of Getting By," announced the milestone via Instagram on January 5.
Apeksha Kothari, the COO of diamond search engine Rare Carat, described her ring to Insider as "truly classic and stunning."
It seemingly features a "round, brilliant-cut center diamond" that's between three and four carats, and "tapered baguette side stones set in a white-gold or platinum setting." Kothari also pointed out that the diamonds "are all very bright, white, and clean."
"I'd estimate the ring to cost around the $150,000 mark," she added.
Machine Gun Kelly then proposed to Megan Fox with an unconventional statement piece.
The two-piece ring was designed by the musician with Stephen Webster. It features one Colombian emerald and one diamond — the couple's birthstones — and two magnetic bands that represent "two halves of the same soul forming an obscure heart," according to Kelly's Instagram post on January 12.
Speaking with Vogue after the engagement, Kelly added that there's also a thorn design in the band so that it hurts to take off. "Love is pain!" he said.
As Kathryn Money, senior vice president of merchandising and retail at Brilliant Earth, previously told Insider, it likely could have cost between $300,000 and $400,000.
"Full House" star Jodie Sweetin showed off her giant jewelry after getting engaged that same month.
The actress shared a photo of herself and her fiancé after getting engaged in an Instagram post on January 17. She also showed off her ring in the picture and wrote, "I think I'm really gonna like turning 40 ❤️❤️❤️💍."
According to Kothari, the ring seemingly features a one-carat center stone in a marquise or kite-cut shape, as well as a "head-turning, diamond-shaped halo" around it. She also described the style as "gorgeous," and pointed out its "stunning Art Deco vibes."
"The center stone is clean and bright white, leading me to believe it is of great color and clarity grade," she said. "I'd value the ring around $20,000."
Model Romee Strijd said yes after her longtime partner proposed with a classic diamond.

Lana Condor was the next celebrity to get engaged and show her ring online.
"Saying YES was the easiest decision I've ever made," the actress wrote in an Instagram post on January 28. "I consider myself the absolute luckiest woman alive to live in your sphere. Aside from my father, without a doubt, you are the greatest man in the world."
She also shared that her fiancé worked with the female-owned, Vietnamese company Paris Jewellers to create the ring. Kothari told Insider that Condor's ring seemingly features a three-carat diamond and could be worth $100,000.
"The fact he knew how important it was to me that he'd collaborate w/ a Vietnamese company to help design my ring is a testament to just how truly thoughtful he always is. I cannot wait to be your wife, baby. I love you a million times over," Condor added in her post.
In February, Simone Biles revealed that football player Jonathan Owens proposed with a glittering diamond.
The athlete shared the news after seemingly getting engaged on Valentine's Day. She described "the easiest yes" of her life on Instagram, writing: "I can't wait to spend forever & ever with you, you're everything I dreamed of and more! let's get married FIANCÉ 💍🥺."

People reported that the couple first began dating in 2015.
Abigail Breslin announced her engagement later that month with a close-up shot of her sparkler.
"I was like, 'duh.' #engagedyall," Breslin wrote as her post's caption. She also tagged her fiancé Ira Kunyansky.
Kothari told Insider over email that Breslin's jewelry — which she said could have cost $130,000 — is "a stunning example" of why round, brilliant-cut diamonds are "the most popular engagement-ring shape."
"With a bright-white and clean appearance, this two-carat round, brilliant diamond ring looks like it has high color and clarity," she said. "The setting has six claw prongs holding the stone in place, white gold, and what looks like triple-row pavé accents."
In March, Joey King revealed that she's engaged to director Steven Piet with a humorous shot her ring.
The 22-year-old actor announced their engagement with photos that showed off her unique ring. According to Kothari, King's jewelry — which could have cost $150,000 — features a four-carat, "very elongated" oval-cut diamond.
"The diamond is set east to west rather than the traditional north to south, and the design evokes traditions from the Art Deco era." she said. "It's an antique-inspired ring with a modern flair to it."
Avril Lavigne was next, announcing in April that she'd received a heart-shaped diamond from Mod Sun.
According to her Instagram post, Lavigne and the musician — whose real name is Derek Ryan Smith — got engaged on March 27, 2022.
People reported that her engagement ring was custom-designed for her, and that its center stone is set atop a band encrusted with smaller heart-shaped diamonds.
There are also two secret messages within the ring, the publication reported.
"It has the words 'Hi Icon' engraved in it, which were the first words he ever said to me," Lavigne told People. "And it has Mod + Avril on the inside. He knew from the very beginning I wanted a heart-shaped diamond because on the day we met, we had matching heart-shaped paved rings on. We've worn them every day since, so it's only fitting to have a heart-shaped engagement ring. I love it so much."
Jennifer Lopez received her second engagement ring from Ben Affleck in April.
Lopez started wearing the green diamond ring in Instagram photos and on red carpets around that time. But it was Ilan Portugali Diamantaire of Beverly Hills Diamonds who shared a close-up look at the jewelry.
Diamantaire, who sourced the diamond, worked with Rahaminov Diamonds to design the overall ring, according to Vogue.
Its green shade makes it unique for two reasons, the publication reports. First, green is the second-rarest hue of diamonds. Second, the color is meaningful to Lopez.
"I always say the color green is my lucky color," she wrote in her "On the JLo" newsletter. "Maybe you can remember a certain green dress. I've realized there are many moments in my life when amazing things happened when I was wearing green."
Sofia Richie's sparkler stole the show when she announced her engagement that month.
Though Richie didn't write anything about her ring in her announcement post, she did share a photo of it. The standout jewelry seemingly features an emerald-cut diamond atop a thin gold band.
"Forever isn't long enough," she captioned the photo.
Marc Anthony proposed to model Nadia Ferreira in May, and gifted her a ring with three huge diamonds.
She first posted about her ring on May 12 via her Instagram story, sharing a close-up shot of its diamonds during her engagement party.
Since then, her ring has shined in many of her Instagram photos and videos, including the one she posted for Anthony's birthday in September.
Jessica Szohr also received a stunning ring that month after getting engaged to hockey player Brad Richardson.
"I said yes!" Szohr captioned her black-and-white Instagram photo, which showed her and Richardson embraced with a bottle of champagne.
The photo also gave a close view of her ring, which appears to feature a large, center stone with a round cut and a diamond-encrusted band.
Actor Britt Robertson was the next star to get engaged. But it was her fiancé who shared photos of her ring.
Floyd posted the photos to his Instagram page, revealing that Robertson's ring has an emerald stone set in a thick gold band.
The latter is also decorated with smaller, classic diamonds in rows of three on each side.
Perrie Edwards revealed her oval-shaped diamond in the middle of June.
"Last night the love of my life got down on one knee and I said… YES!" the former Little Mix singer wrote in her Instagram post.
Her ring from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has a gold band and a yellow-tinted diamond on top.
Beanie Feldstein also received a showstopping ring from her fiancée Bonnie Chance Roberts that month.
Though the couple shared shots of their engagement at the time, it wasn't until early September that Roberts posted a close-up shot of the ring she proposed to Feldstein with.
It has a classic gold band, and a unique flower-shaped setting filled with sparkling diamonds.
At the end of June, "Halloweentown" star Kimberly J. Brown announced her engagement and showed off her ring at the same time.
"Have I introduced you guys to my Fiancée? ☺️💍❤️ #isaidyes," she wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself and her former "Halloweentown" costar.
