She became engaged to her former AFL player beau on Wednesday.

And fashion blogger Elle Ferguson’s engagement to Joel Patfull has been made all the more significant thanks to a special family connection.

The 33-year-old’s stunning five-carat sparkler was secretly designed by her jeweller sister Lucie Ferguson, and includes a beautiful tribute to their late mother Kim Ferguson.

Lucie, who designs Babyanything jewellery, created the 5.01 carat brilliant cut oval diamond ring in platinum after Joel approached her for help.

‘It was a total secret between Joel and myself. Joel came and asked me for Elle’s hand in marriage and after we both stopped crying we started straight on the ring,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.

‘We had to keep a secret from Elle about the ring and the plan for the proposal and she is impossible to keep secrets from, but we pulled it off!’

‘I set one Aquamarine stone in the centre at the bottom among the diamonds as that is our mother’s birthstone and I wanted to make sure she was with Elle on the special day and throughout her life,’ Lucie explained.

‘The Aquamarine was the colour of our mum’s eyes and also the water at Wategos Beach where Joel proposed, so it all tied in beautifully.’
