Hilary Duff’s had an exciting 2010 so far. This month (February), the petite and pretty actress got engaged to popular NHL player Mike Comrie. The two have been together for two years before Comrie popped the question this February. While the happy couple has not set an official date for the wedding…everyone is abuzz about Hillary’s gorgeous diamond engagement ring…worth $1Million! Now that’s a way to pop the question to the girl of your dreams!

Hilary Duff is both an actress and a singer. Well known for the television show Lizzie McGuire, Duff has appeared in many movies including Cheaper by the Dozen, The Lizzie McGuire Movie and A Cinderella Story. Her albums include her first album Metamorphosis which was certified triple platinum and Dignity, which was, certified Gold. Duff is known for great dance tunes like “With Love,” “Stranger,” and “Reach Out.” Best of Hillary Duff was released in 2008 and had her third #1 Billboard hit song, “Reach Out.”

Hockey player Mike Comrie gave Hillary Duff a 4.5 carat sparkler of a ring. Comrie has a $10Million three-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers. We can see the Comrie is really following that old “rule of thumb” about the woman’s engagement ring being worth a significant portion of the man’s income. A million dollar diamond engagement ring shows off a lot of sparkle and shimmer on any woman’s finger. And we couldn’t think of anyone more lovely than the well known actress Hillary Duff to receive such a stunning bauble.

One may wonder how a petite actress will manage with such a large diamond – it may be a bit heavy on her hand! Fans will be glad to know Hillary was all smiles and grins as the happy couple took a fun vacation to Hawaii last week. Hillary was spotted wearing her fresh and new diamond engagement ring out by the pool. We hope the lifeguard was watching the swimmers – the light from Hillary’s engagement ring could have gotten in his eyes. We know how a beautiful diamond will sparkle – just imagine how a 4.5 carat diamond sparkles under the Hawaiian sunlight!

We know that this diamond may very well steal the spotlight for a short time. It’s not every day you see a beautiful 4.5 carat diamond on such a lovely young woman’s hand. A rather unique sight to be seen. Hillary Duff has always been a head turner and with this latest sparkler we think she is going to turn even more heads and perhaps strain a couple of necks. She may even cause a bit of envy among fellow diamond lovers who are a few carats shy of that 4.5 carats she has on her hand!

This couple seems meant to be together. Recently they purchased a charming $10Million dollar home in Beverly Hills, California. Looks like they are feathering their nest….could the pitter patter of little feet be far behind? We’ll just have to see….
