We’re already starting to pick out wedding dresses for our Celeb Style Council member, but let’s talk about that rock first. This is the first time Reed has been seen with her (frankly, enormous!) ring. And she’s not wearing a classic, cushion-cut bauble. The sparkler is very unique featuring what looks like a round center diamond surrounded by smaller round diamonds for an antique, floral-cluster vibe. And of course Reed made sure to get the perfect pale-pink mani for her new bling’s big debut. Get an up-close look below.

First spotted together in July 2014, their relationship has been a whirlwind; just six months later, Somerhalder, 36, popped the question in January, PEOPLE confirmed.

Reed was previously married to American Idol alum Paul McDonald; their split was announced in March, and their divorce was finalized in early January. For his part, Somerhalder dated his Vampire Diaries costar Nina Dobrev for several years before splitting in May 2013.

“We have such an amazing future ahead of us,” Reed previously revealed to PEOPLE. “Anything we put our minds to will become a reality. I’m just excited for all those possibilities.”
