What he ended up purchasing was a 3.5-carat cushion-cut diamond ring. The band was handcrafted out of 18-karat gold that contains diamond floral motifs. The center stone dates back to the late 19th century, according to the jeweler.

"It was hand-cut around 1880 or 1890 and it's unique and in its original form," Lane told People. "At that time, no two diamonds were alike, as they were all hand-cut, so it's fascinating to look at because it hasn't been re-cut to look contemporary over the years. I find that really romantic."

It apparently worked. the 19-year-old "Hannah Montana" star said yes after Hemsworth got down on one knee last week.

Cyrus tweeted after the news broke, "Thank you for all the love today :) I'm happy to share this news with you all. I feel like all my dreams are coming true. <3 have a great day."
