Naya Marie Rivera, better known as Santana Lopez on Glee, deputed a sparkling diamond engagement ring on the red carpet at a Latina magazine’s Hollywood Hot List Party. The young actress posted a picture of the sparkling stone on Instagram, showcasing the ring’s glamorous halo design. The large center stone is surrounded by a miniature halo of white diamonds, only adding to the glitzy look. A diamond encrusted band finishes the pieces, bringing an added punch of sparkle and shine. Celebrity Jewelry Expert, Michael O’ Connor, told E! News that that the ring appears to be about 3.5-4 carats, setting its value at around $70,000. The ring’s halo design is classic, but has a modern take on the design. It is clear that Rivera favors old world glamour and sentimental jewelry pieces. This halo design is growing in popularity, as many celebrities are choosing to opt for this elegant setting.

Rivera was born in 1987, and has followed in her mother’s footsteps, pursuing a modeling and acting career. Her venture started at a young age, as she collected small roles on many hit television shows, including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters,Baywatch, Smart Guy, Even Stevens and many more. Between roles, Rivera worked at Abercrombie and Fitch as a greeter. This cycle of accumulating small roles was broken when Rivera was cast for Fox Broadcasting’s musical comedy-drama, Glee, and in 2011, signed a contract with Columbia Records to release a debut album. Since then, Rivera’s career has been thriving as the television show has continued to rise in popularity, gaining a large audience that includes fans of all ages.

Rivera is engaged to Big Sean, a hip hop artist from Detroit, Michigan. Big Sean signed with Kayne West in 2007, and has been making hit music ever since.

Big Sean admitted to “Gleekin’ Heavy” since watching his fiance’ on the show. Ryan Murphy, the creator of Glee, says that Big Sean would never do Glee, but he is considering writing something for him. Big Sean comments on the television show, stating “Some of the episodes are a little much for me, but I like how they touch on real issues that people can really relate to. And people can just relate to something and confide in it. I think it serves a great purpose in society.”

It seems that Rivera is bringing out Big Sean’s softer side. The two lovebirds met on Twitter, and have been pretty much inseparable ever since. The two debuted their dating status for the first time at the premier of “42” at the TLC Chinese Theater in Hollywood and have continued to be a hot item.
