Alessandra Ambrosio is ready to become Mrs. Palmer.
The Victoria's Secret Angel, 45, happily showed off her new stunning diamond ring in a series of Instagram snaps on Thursday, two days after announcing her engagement to former model and jewelry designer, Buck Palmer, 44.
In one photo, taken during their beach proposal in Indonesia, the model sizzled in a crochet string bikini while giving the camera a close-up of the dazzling engagement ring.
Olivia Landau, founder and CEO of The Clear Cut, told The Daily Mail that the elongated cushion cut ring, set in an all yellow gold bezel, appears to be around five to seven carats and 'could range from $200-500K' depending on the quality and exact size.
'The shape of diamond and style of ring is very much on trend,' jewelry expert Landau added.
It's not clear if Palmer designed the ring himself, though sources previously indicated he might have designed a gold band Ambrosio was wearing in Instagram photos this past spring.
An insider exclusively told The Daily Mail in April that: 'It is likely that he designed that ring she is wearing on her wedding finger because that's his job - he designs jewelry.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Ambrosio and Palmer for comment.
Another snap showed the loved-up pair cozied up at a beach bar, with Ambrosio subtly showing the statement ring.
There was also a photo of her displaying the dazzling diamond from inside their hotel room.
In other snaps the pair were seen enjoying a romantic horseback ride and later taking a dip in the ocean.
The duo got engaged after a near two-year romance. The supermodel announced the proposal via the couple's joint Instagram page on Tuesday, writing, 'I’d choose you in this life and every life. Here’s to forever, my love.'
Palmer proposed on the beach in Indonesia, with Ambrosio wowing in a string bikini as her love knelt down on the sand in front of her.
Ambrosio flashed her new diamond ring as the couple embraced, before posing in a heart-shaped ring of rose petals.
The star has been dating Palmer since late 2024.
The two first sparked engagement rumors when the former Victoria's Secret Angel shared Instagram photos with a gold band on her ring finger this past spring.

'If Alessandra is engaged she has not told her friends yet, but everyone feels like she and Buck are headed that way because they are very serious and in love, so this may be a big hint from her that they are headed toward matrimony,' a source exclusively told The Daily Mail in April.
In an Instagram post from an Indonesian vacation in mid April, both the supermodel and designer wore gold bands on their ring fingers.
Ambrosio and Palmer were first romantically linked at a party during Miami's Art Basel in 2024.
Insiders confirmed at the time that the smitten fashion model hoped to be with her new partner 'for her entire life' due to their deep connection.
'Alessandra knows who her New Year's Eve kiss is going to be, and she hopes to have the same man to kiss for every New Year's Eve for her entire life,' a source exclusively dished to The Daily Mail at the time.
'She has been through the wringer in relationships but really truly believes in love and feels like she finally found it.'
In 2025, the superstar told Us Weekly that she and her beau connect through their 'passion for life.'
'We just love life to the fullest,' she told the outlet.
She added: 'We love living life and spending time together and enjoying every little thing. I guess it’s the little things, sometimes, that count more. Whatever we do, we both just have this passion for life.'

The couple broke off their engagement in 2018, ten years after Jamie initially popped the question.
In a 2023 interview with Schön. Magazine China, Ambrosio shared: 'I believe that [a] positive attitude and outlook on life can change how we see life and sometimes how other people see life.
'Living in the present, enjoying each moment and spending time with people that matter to you is very important.'
She also told the publication about her future ambitions, following her 20-plus years in the modeling industry.
'I would love to host my own show and still work with some of the amazing up-and-coming designers, as they inspire me with their creativity and how they keep on coming up with these never-before-seen designs.'
