Stylist Christy Lee<\/a> wasn\u2019t expecting her boyfriend Post Malone\u2019s proposal when they went to visit his Utah ranch\u2014but there were signs something was coming. The singer, born Austin Post<\/a>, had a plan in motion to design the perfect ring for the bride-to-be. \u201cA couple months before the proposal, Austin started casually slipping these very \u2018hypothetical\u2019 questions about rings into conversation, trying to figure out what I liked without giving himself away,\u201d Christy shares with Vogue. \u201cOne day, completely out of the blue, he asked me, \u2018Pear, heart, or cushion?\u2019 I told him I\u2019d always thought there was something so chic about an oval.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another time, he asked if she liked a ring with diamonds wrapped along a band or framing a center stone. \u201cI told him I actually preferred the opposite\u2014something very simple, with a delicate, thin gold band,\u201d Christy says. Finally, the musician asked her if there was such a thing as a ring<\/a> being too big. \u201cI jokingly told him I didn\u2019t think so,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n

Austin pulled together those little notes and got to work. The singer met with Angel City Jewelers<\/a> to craft a ring that fit every response Christy gave him over those months. On August 17, 2026, Austin surprised Christy with a stunning, custom 20-plus carat natural oval diamond ring<\/a> on a delicate gold band. \u201cWhen I saw it, I was honestly speechless,\u201d she shares. \u201cHe had somehow taken all of those little conversations and created exactly what I would have chosen for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking back, it\u2019s incredibly sweet knowing how much thought he put into creating something that felt entirely my own,\u201d says Christy. \u201cAustin worked closely with his jeweler Isaac to create it, and it feels incredibly special knowing how much thought went into every detail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The days surrounding Post Malone\u2019s proposal had many more surprises than just the ring as a marker of building the next step of their life together. When the two went to spend time at the singer\u2019s new Utah ranch, they arrived to find a few new friends hanging out in the barn. \u201cAustin first surprised me with a baby Highland cow, bunnies, and chickens,\u201d shares Christy.<\/p>\n
