Russell Brand has gotten the rumor-mill chugging away, with whispers that he is set to propose to girlfriend Katy Perry after being spotted shopping for a diamond ring. Brand was photographed looking at bands at exclusive London jewelers Cartier on Friday with one specific sparkler catching his eye.

Per DNA India:

“His face lit up when he saw this one diamond ring. He put it on his hand and he just gazed at it for ages, deep in contemplation,” the News of the World quoted a source as saying.

Brand spent hours in the shop browsing through the rings rings. He finally settled on a large square-cut diamond on a platinum band, even slipping the ring on his left ring finger to see how it looked. Last week, Brand hinted he was ready to take things a level further with Perry during an appearance on UK TV. He confirmed the pair are serious about their relationship, adding he would love to start a family sooner rather than later.

“Yes it’s true, I’m in a relationship. I don’t know about settled, that makes me think of sediment at the bottom of a stagnant pond. Not settled. But marriage would be good. I would like to have children too,” he said. “She’s the one. I’m a one-woman gentleman now. She’s really funny and gorgeous. We’re having a lot of fun.”

Ooooh sounds like someones getting a rock for Christmas! I’m jealous! But if he is planning on proposing, I guess we’ve let the cat outta the bag. Oops!
