September 2nd, 2013 by Noam Flint

It’s always exciting when you hear about a celebrity getting engaged (and their rings), but One Direction fans may have a hard time swallowing the news that heartthrob Zayn Malik is officially off the market. Billboard reports that the British pop star proposed to his girlfriend Perrie Edwards of girl group Little Mix last weekend. In fact, multiple sources have reported that Edwards was spotted wearing a three-stone diamond engagement ring at the London premiere of Malik’s silver screen debut, “One Direction: This Is Us.”

The couple, who are both 20 years old, may be young, but their friends and family couldn’t be happier for them to get hitched.

“It’s true,” Edwards’ mother, Debbie Duffy, disclosed on the U.K.’s Real Radio, according to The Globe and Mail. “They got engaged on Sunday and it was absolutely lovely… it’s wonderful because Zayn is absolutely gorgeous and Perrie loves him to pieces, so it’s just perfect.”

Us Weekly published a photo of the couple at the movie premiere, and sure enough, Edward’s left hand was undeniably sparkly. The diamond ring is certainly nothing to laugh at, but it is also far from gaudy or demanding of attention. It strikes the perfect balance that is sure to illicit oohs and ahhs from friends, fans and more as the couple begins to plan their nuptials.

It’s certainly possible to find an engagement ring that falls in the same spectrum, but those looking to find something that stands out without making a scene may want to look into options that incorporate or focus entirely on colored diamonds. These rare, exquisite gemstones are as unique as the love you share with your soon-to-be-fiance, making them an excellent choice that is sure to impress when you pop the question.
