Sunrise host Samantha Armytage, 43, announced her engagement to boyfriend Richard Lavender, 60, in an Instagram post on Sunday.
And a closer look at her prized bling suggests the Channel Seven star is in favour of a more classic style.
Samantha’s engagement ring features a modest-sized cushion cut diamond on a prong setting, with an elegant gold band.

It also appears to be a common style favoured by some of Hollywood’s elite.
In 2018, American model Karlie Kloss announced her engagement to longtime beau Josh Kushner.
The 27-year-old beauty debuted her engagement ring online, which bears a striking resemblance to Samantha’s – a cushion cut diamond on an elegant band.

Wrapped up in a beanie and puffer jacket, Samantha beamed with joy as she placed her bejewelled hand on her man’s chest.
A flurry of Samantha’s famous friends congratulated the happy couple, including Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac who wrote: ‘Sam!!! Richard!!! Well bloody done! So great to see some happy news! @banjoarmytage for ring bearer duties, calling it early x.’
