UPDATED 7/29, 5:53 p.m. ET: Tyrese Haliburton ensured that his fiancée, Jade Jones, was gifted an iced-out engagement ring.
From NYC diamond jeweler The Clear Cut, the ring was designed by the company's fourth-generation founder and GIA-certified gemologist Olivia Landau. "Jade’s ring is a natural oval diamond set in our two tone signature super skinny solitaire, with a pave diamond band and hidden halo," Landau told Complex.

The altar is on the horizon for Tyrese Haliburton and longtime girlfriend — now fianceé — Jade Jones.
Indiana Pacers star Haliburton put out all the stops for the surprise proposal, going back to Iowa State University, where the pair first met when he was a Cyclones player and she was a cheerleader.
The 25-year-old All-Star took a knee despite recovering from Achilles surgery after sustaining an injury in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City.
At the Hilton Coliseum, home of the Cyclones, Haliburton had a large sign that read, “Will you marry me?” surrounded by rose petals and his trusty knee walker not far behind. Jones was fittingly dressed in a white dress, a sign for what's to come for the young couple.
“The place where our story started, and where our next chapter begins❤️💍” Haliburton captioned his Instagram post of the grand proposal.
Jones took a more humorous approach, commenting on the announcement with, “Future Mrs. What the Hali,” in reference to Rob49’s viral hit “WTHELLY.”
