Cannon worked closely with Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co. to create the one-of-a-kind ring, the company said in a statement.
The couple have been photographed together in Las Vegas and New York recently. On Thursday, a source close to Cannon confirmed to Latina.com that the couple were wed in a spur-of-the-moment ceremony in the Bahamas the day before. The New York Post's Paula Froelich also reported the couple were married.

Rumors that the ring Carey is wearing was originally given by Cannon to Ebanks are untrue, a spokeswoman for Jacob & Co. said.
"It's a different carat weight, and a different color diamond," Marissa Drew told TheShowBuzz.com. "It was made specifically for Mariah."Photos: Celebrity Couples
The ring is crafted from platinum and features a square emerald cut fancy light pink diamond as the center stone surrounded by 58 intense pink diamonds and two half moon diamonds on each side. The center stone alone weighs 10 carats, and the total carat weight of the ring is 17 carats. It's valued at $2.5 million.

- Who cares what that plastic w.h.o.r.e does? She''s going to be what, 40? Anyone who has that little bit of self worth and needs a ring that big needs help.
