The Disney actress shared a close-up photo of her engagement ring. It is a vintage-inspired square lined setting with a round brilliant cut center stone. The band features unique metal work and what appears to be hand-engraving. This type of illusion setting was originally popular during the 1950’s, but many couples are choosing more antique-inspired engagement rings these days. Our GIA graduate gemologist, Olivia, estimates that the center diamond weighs between 1.20 and 1.70 carats.

The happy couple has been dating for over a year and a half. Michalka, 25, can also be seen on Two and a Half Men and is also in a musical duo with her sister called 78violet. This will be the first marriage for Michalka and we wish her and her fiance all of the best.
