Mariah Carey’s finger flashes with Nick Cannon’s engagement ring

Mariah Carey’s new boyfriend who is said to be her new husband gave her a fascinating engagement ring. A rep for the jeweler Jacob & Co. said that Cannon paid over $2.5 million for the 17-carat sparkler currently adorning Carey's paw.

“It has a square, emerald-cut fancy light-pink diamond as the center stone that is 10 carats,” the jewelrymaker says. "It is surrounded by 58 pink diamonds, with two half-moon diamonds on each side."

The ring was especially designed for Mariah by the jewellery company and is not the same ring that Cannon used when he proposed to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, as rumors used to have it.

The source says that Cannon "was in the boutique in the last couple of weeks" to retrieve the bauble.
