Lisa Oldfield sent fans into a frenzy on Monday when she announced her engagement to boyfriend James “Jimbo” Laws.
The former Real Housewives of Sydney star showed off a huge sparkling ring on her ring finger that had been designed by Jim himself.
“These photos do not do justice to the magnificent eight-carat tanzanite design created by Jim and Infinity Diamonds,” she wrote in her caption.
Lisa showed off the ring from several angles: The large embellishment features a blue center stone surrounded by a halo of diamonds.
Her fans clearly thought it was an engagement announcement and many commented under the pictures.
“Absolutely stunning. Congratulations to you both!” wrote one person while another added: “Colourful stones like this are the best! Gorgeous.”
“Oh, what a beautiful ring, what a gorgeous stone. Congratulations, I thought you were already married, how silly of me,” said another person.
Others noted that the ring resembled the sparkler King Charles gave to Princess Diana in 1981.
