Priyanka Chopra knew exactly what kind of engagement ring she wanted.

The 36-year-old actress told People she helped fiance Nick Jonas, 26, pick out the ring he proposed with.

"I may have dropped that hint," Chopra told the magazine Tuesday during a Tiffany & Co. event. "I think we had a conversation about it when we were dating, and I've always known it had to be Tiffany."

She continued: "I just knew it since I was a kid. First, it was 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' that did it for every girl in the world, and then, of course, 'Sweet Home Alabama' came and put a stamp on it that it has to be Tiffany!"

Chopra revealed the ring and her engagement with an Instagram post in August.

"Taken.. With all my heart and soul," she wrote.

The two reportedly started dating in May and became engaged just two months later. People reported in July that Jonas shut down a Tiffany & Co. store to purchase the ring.

Chopra told People she wasn't with him when he picked it out, but his brothers were.

In August, gemologist and diamond expert Grant Mobley told INSIDER the ring could have cost $300,000.
