Working on Dancing with the Stars, Carrie Ann Inaba is surrounded by glitz and glam, so beau Jesse Sloan knew he had to make her engagement ring extra special. "Jesse came in a few months ago," Ann Mangini of Santa Monica's Rafinity jewelers tells PEOPLE. "He had a very clear idea of ring style and diamond cut: princess cut in a clean platinum mounting." As they worked to design the ring, Mangini presented him with several different sparklers, and Sloan ultimately selected the 2½-carat, D-color, princess-cut diamond he presented to his girlfriend of two years Thursday morning on Live with Regis and Kelly. But there's more to the gem than meets the eye. "Since the ring was so very simple, for a little flair I suggested we set both his and Carrie Ann's birthstones hidden on the inside of the ring," Mangini says. "[It's] a Rafinity signature detail and a way to symbolically join the happy couple." So while not visible to the eye, Inaba's birthstone, garnet, and Sloan's birthstone, which happens to be diamond, are both "artfully" embedded in the ring, as well. Though Sloan was secretive about his big purchase — and played it very cool when he proposed to his longtime love on live television — he was definitely thrilled about the whole ordeal. Says Mangini, "He was the picture of a handsome excited-to-ask-his-girl-to-marry-him gentleman!"
