Basketball bling: Reese Witherspoon finally shows off her engagement ring as she and fiancé Jim Toth attend an LA Lakers game on Monday


Reese Witherspoon clearly isn't one to stand on ceremony.

Having announced her engagement to Hollywood agent Jim Toth last week, she's yet to flash her diamonds like a lot of betrothed celebrities.

Instead, the 34-year-old actress chose to be seated in a

sports arena surrounded by thousands of basketball fans as the best place to show off her bling.

The Legally Blonde star and her new fiancé were snapped at the LA Lakers game on Monday night as they took on the Detroit Pistons at the Staples Center.

And her huge rock was all to clear to see as she clapped the team and showed it off to the world.

The actress had been seen wearing it just hours earlier as she shopped at Giorgio Armani in Beverly Hills and waited for her car from the valet alone.

Then hours later she kept it on for all the world to see since she and Toth announced their engagement on December 28.

Jim, 40, a Hollywood talent agent who manages Robert Downey Jr. and Tobey Maguire, proposed with a 4-carat Ashoka diamond ring set on a pave diamond and platinum band.

Ashoka stones are rare, according to a spokesperson from William Goldberg Diamond Corporation, which produced the custom-designed rock.

And with a jem like that to treasure, it's not surprising that Reese has been keeping it under lock and key and choosing not to wear it.

Sensibly, she has left her ring behind when out jogging, just as she did on the afternoon before the basketball game

It was the same a few days earlier when, on New Year's Eve, the betrothed couple emerged for the first time since announcing their engagement.

They went for a run together and once again, Reese's ring was nowhere to be seen.

There is no word yet on when the pair, who have been dating for around a year, will walk down the aisle.
