Jake Owen- Jewelry Designer

Jake Owen & Lacey Buchanan

People.com has the first look at the stunning engagement ring Jake Owen presented to now fiance Lacey Buchanan. Jake assisted in the design process with Atlanta based jeweler Lizzy Raye Jewelers.

Jake Owen Ring

“I told her, ‘The sparkle is never going to go away in that ring, and I don’t want our sparkle to ever go away either,’” he tells PEOPLE. “‘On your darkest days, I want you to look at it and see that there’s a glimmer of light in it. I want it to always remind you of the possibilities of our relationship.”

The 2.5 carat oval diamond is surrounded by smaller versions of the large.

“I want that ring to be timeless,” he says. “When my mom saw it, she said, ‘That looks like something Princess Diana would wear.’ I was so excited to give it to her.”

Jake proposed to Lacey on stage in his hometown of Vero Beach.

Taylor, Carrie, & Jake Make EW’s 30 Greatest Artists of Right Now!

Taylor Swift Live In PerthCarrie UnderwoodJake Owen

Entertainment Weekly has released it’s 30 Greatest Music Artists Right Now, and country music has made an appearance, although I’m a tad surprised.

Right behind No. 1 Adele is our own Taylor Swift at No. 2 as the Everygirl Superstar. Taylor is feverishly working on a new album.

Carrie Underwood nabs 4th place as the Country Belle. Carrie has enjoyed some down time with hubby Mike Fisher, but her new album Blown Away will hit stores soon.

”I got to take a little more time making this album and I feel like I’m really ready for it to be out there,” she tells EW. ”It’s like the beginning of a relationship — everything is new and exciting.”

The real shocker, Jake Owen is named Nashville Casanova at No. 19. Although, he may not be Casanova any longer since he popped the question to Lacey Buchanon and the two will be hitched. Jake has spent the last several years on the road, and will take to the stadiums this year with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney on the Brothers of the Sun tour.

”I’ve spent the last six years playing anywhere and everywhere,” he tells EW. ”And I’m going to continue appreciating each day I can grab a guitar and sing.”

You can see the entire list here which includes the Foo Fighters, Katy Perry, and more.  I’m shocked that Lady Antebellum or Kenny Chesney didn’t make the list…anyone else??

Jake Owen Opens Up About Engagement

Jake Owen & Lacey Buchanon

As we previously reported, on Saturday night, in his hometown of Vero Beach, FL, in front of 5,500 family, friends and fans, Jake Owen proposed to his girlfriend Lacey Buchanan during the performance of his hit song “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You.”

“Lacey is the answer to all of my prayers,” says Jake. “She is an amazing person and I’m the luckiest guy in the world.”

“When I was on stage, it just hit me how many of our family members (Lacey is also a Florida native) and friends were at the show,” reflects Jake. “So, I thought sharing that moment would mean a lot to everyone.”

As the requests to talk to Jake about his engagement are rolling in, his response is, “I’ll be happy to talk to everyone after this week passes. Right now, I’m focusing on what is most important and that is spending some quality time with Lacey and our families.”
