The rock looks to be easily around four carats.
The Getaway presenter made her engagement news public via a post on her Instagram account, writing, 'I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you. There are no words to describe how happy we are.'
She also thanked family, friends and fans for their well wishes on Tuesday while posting a romantic quote from the novel, The Chaos Of Stars, by Kiersten White.
'And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you,' it reads.
In an accompanying caption she wrote: 'We are so touched by all of your beautiful messages. Thank you ❤️ I can't wait to be Mrs. Franklin @buddy_franklin23 x'
The duo denied suggestions an engagement was imminent as recently as October, but clearly they have changed their tune with congratulations pouring in from friends and family.
Jesinta, who was crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2010, made her romance with 27-year-old Buddy public in late October of 2013.
Since then both genetically blessed stars have taken to Instagram to share sweet couple snaps, showing they are very much head over heels in love.
Despite being a pageant queen, the brunette beauty recently revealed she never felt sexy until meeting Buddy.

'I’ve never associated myself with the word sexy until being with Buddy,' she told Women's Health magazine.
'Now, being in a relationship where I’m supported on every level, I’ve come into myself.'
The lovebirds originally tried to keep their relationship under wraps due to trolls who blamed her for being the main reason Buddy left Hawthorn for the Swans.
He started at Sydney in a $10 million, nine-year deal in October 2013 and they moved into their Bondi love nest just a few months later.

Seeing the world together: The pair recently returned from a European holiday where they refreshed
They recently returned from a European holiday and Jesinta says that while she wants to focus on her career and establishing herself as a businesswoman, she also wants a family.
They adopted a puppy, a Staffordshire terrier called Axel, when they moved in together in March but Jesinta wants the real thing.
'In five years time,' she tells the magazine, 'I want to build my business and also be in a position to start a family.'
The face of hair care brand Joico confessed to Daily Mail Australia last month that this last year of their relationship in the spotlight has been a steep learning curve for her.
'It's the biggest juggling act of my life I suppose,' Jesinta admitted.
'Revealing a little bit but not too much and trying to keep my personal life to myself and keeping that sacred, so that we have something special.
Sharing the love: Earlier this year the pair made a long term commitment spanning more than twelve years, vowing to sponsor a disadvantaged child in Thailand until he finishes school
Family minded: Jesinta says while she wants to focus on her career and business, she also wants a family
'But then also sharing enough with the people who also support us - his fans and my fans and followers. It's trying to find that balance but I think we've found that happy medium.'
Speaking of the fact her life gets busier at this time of year while his slows down, she said: 'That's the hardest thing.
'I'm a thousand percent busier at this time of year and his [commitments] really wind down so it's hard to find that balance.
'But my relationship is a big priority for me, so I always do find time for it.'
As a presenter for Channel Nine's Getaway, Jesinta travelled to Thailand in April and made a big move proving the couple were already very serious about their future together.
The pair have made a long term commitment spanning more than twelve years, vowing to sponsor a disadvantaged child in Thailand until he finishes school.

While shooting scenes for the travel show, Jesinta discovered an orphan baby boy Sky, through the Baan Than Namchai orphanage.
Her footballer beau Buddy took to social media at the time to share the news that the couple had decided to sponsor Sky.
Posting an Instagram photo of his model girlfriend holding the cute child, Buddy explained the orphan’s unfortunate situation and encouraged fans to also make donations.

He said: ‘Little Sky. Dumped in a garbage bin at 15 days old. We have sponsored him until he leaves school. If your followers want to make a donation head to www.bnc.or.th great cause #dontakelifeforgranted.’
The sportsman also expressed his admiration for his young girlfriend taking on such a responsibility, adding ‘@jesinta_campbell your amazing x.’
