Not known to many, there was a story behind the beautiful engagement ring of the actress.
The ring that the actress is wearing is a second engagement ring which she designed with the help of Diamond Manila.
The first ring caused the actress such heartache that she decided to have it re-designed. According to Jessy, the excitement of getting proposed to was taken away by a former friend of hers, who was working for Radiant Jewelry.
The actress also admitted that the reason she designed her ring was to erase all the negative feelings that the previous engagement ring brought to her and Luis. She also wanted to be practical and not want her husband-to-be pay thousands of pesos to get another diamond ring.

She designed the ring on her own because she knew about the engagement already and she had to find a way to remove the ugly memories that the previous ring gave her.
