During their stroll, a local jewelry shop employee spotted the trio and asked if they wanted to come in and peruse its offerings, an observer tells Us. While they were in the boutique, the owner shared a ring that he had designed.

"[He] thought it would be nice for them to have [it] as a souvenir," an onlooker says. "They are the loveliest couple and are so down to earth that they did not mind getting photos or talking to us."

As for Cox's 10-year-old daughter? "Coco was great too," the source says. "She loved the city also and was spending quality time with Johnny's two sisters. They were all so happy."

After their stop by the jewelry boutique, the stars visited the gift shop next door, where they again posed for pictures with fans. "Coco loved it," the insider notes of Cox's daughter with ex-husband David Arquette. "She was saying how much she loved emeralds, so shop employees gave her an emerald-and-silver shamrock necklace as a souvenir."

At a separate event in April, Cox gushed to Us about how her beau "supports me in every way." The Friends alum and her fiance announced their engagement on June 26, via Twitter.
