Snooki's Engagement Ring

In case you've been living under a rock for the past two weeks (and if you were in order to escape this news, who can blame you), Snooki is pregnant and engaged. Jionni LaValle is responsible for both.
Dude dropped a stunning $55,000 on a princess-cut engagement ring for the Jersey Shore star, too. How the heck did he find that cash? Or figure out what to pick?

Snooki and Jionni

The custom-built ring on an eternity band features 2-carat diamonds on the band and a 3.02-carat princess-cut diamond in the middle, totaling over 5 carats.

Ben Bekdas, jeweler at B&B Jewelry in Wayne, N.J., co-designed the ring with Snooki's fiancé, telling E! Online, "He wanted the very best for his honey!"
"Snooki was here a few months ago to pick up a birthday present from her father. She was dropping hints to Jionni and tried a couple of rings on."
"She picked out three different styles of rings. She liked the top of one and the side of another." Here's the one that the Snook will be wearing FOREVER:

Jionni LaValle came in by himself two months ago and designed the ring, which he picked up a few weeks ago. And as for the proposal itself ...
"They were at the W Hotel in Hoboken," Ben said. "Jionni got down on one knee on the balcony. Snooki had no idea she was getting a ring."
