It seems heiress to an immense hotel fortune, Paris Hilton, has already started 2018 (quite literally) on a high, announcing her engagement to actor, Chris Zykla.

Opting to propose to Paris at the top of a mountain in Aspen, the proposal was quite literally a fairy-tale moment. It’s been reported that Chris was shaking with excitement and nerves as he got down on one knee to present her with the ring. And of course Paris said yes! The 20-carat ring is definitely worthy of a princess, or in this case, an heiress.

Diamond expert and celebrity jewellery, Michael Greene, says that the centre stone is 20 carats, set on a platinum split shank halo band which boasts another two carats of smaller diamonds. It’s been valued at an incredible $2 million, according to Greene.

The ring isn’t just a huge diamond though, it’s been reported that a lot of sentiment and thought went into the decision, with Chris ensuring he made the perfect choice and keeping it a total secret from Paris. According to certain sources, Paris has always loved her mother’s pear-shaped diamond ring making the shape the optimum choice for Chris to make. Because of this the ring holds a lot of meaning to the couple and shows how much Chris cares for Paris.

‘Paris is the most beautiful and incredible woman both inside and out, I feel like the luckiest man in the world to be marrying my dream girl. I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together.’ With so much love and a diamond ring that size, it’s understandable why the couple are beaming in their announcement photos!
