StyleCaster reported Wednesday that the petite blonde's engagement ring from Olivier Sarkozy is actually a vintage Cartier from 1953. It was reportedly purchased at a Sotheby's jewelry auction in NYC on Feb. 6. (Us Weekly exclusively broke the news last Friday, Feb. 28, that the Full House alum was engaged.) The ring, according to StyleCaster, once belonged to a Tennessee-based collector. It features a four-carat European-cut diamond, surrounded by sixteen tiny sapphires and set in multiple interlaced gold bands. The item was purchased for $81,250.

This will be Mary-Kate's first marriage and Sarkozy's second. The half-brother of former French president Nicolas Sarkozy shares two children, son Julien, 12, and daughter Margo, 10, with his first wife of 13 years, Charlotte Bernard. "She thinks he's a great dad," a source told Us of Mary-Kate.

The lovebirds live together in a $6.25 million townhouse in NYC. Tell Us: what do you think of her rock?
