"[It's a] platinum setting with an approximate 9-carat center blue sapphire and a 2-carat Trillion cut diamond on each side," O'Connor says. "Shane made the right choice by setting the sapphire in platinum, since platinum doesn't change color or fade - so it symbolizes a relationship that will endure."

"Shane Warne is clearly a romantic," O'Connor adds. "Since not only is blue sapphire a favorite of British royalty, but it's also his birthstone!"

Warne, 42, and Hurley, 46, dated for 10 months prior to their engagement. It will be the second marriage for both Warne and Hurley, who finalized her divorce from hubby of four years Arun Nayar in June.

3OK. Let's see how long this one lasts....
OK, let me get this straight...she has been "dating" this guy while she was still married to the other guy...now that she's divorced, it's OK to marry this one. I've got a headache. Is this what marriage means to her? I've a feeling this won't be her last marriage. Best of luck Shane, looks like you're going to need it.
good for her. lots of luck.
