The orchestra played Lana Del Rey's song Young and Beautiful followed by Kanye's own love song to Kim Knock You Down.

The romantic gesture was accompanied by a dazzling fireworks display. The famously close-knit Kardashian family and friends then witnessed the moment that Kanye, 36, presented the mother of his child with a 15-carat diamond ring by celebrity jeweller Lorraine Schwartz.

"Kanye was involved in every single way," says a rep for Lorraine Schwartz. "He had a vision from the beginning. He looked at a lot of stones and he wanted only the best.

"He and Lorraine emailed back and forth, and stayed up nights discussing how he wanted it to be. He wanted the diamond to look like it was floating on air. Everything was his idea from beginning to end."
