Nope, we didn't miss a decimal point -- Mariah Carey just got engaged and with it came a 35-carat engagement ring.

The singer, who is set to wed billionaire James Packer, recently showed off her huge, emerald-cut diamond center stone ring -- designed by Wilfredo Rosado -- on the red carpet.

Carey spoke with E! News about the ring, joking, "It's so heavy I can't lift my arm up!"

And if you wondered what kind of wedding a 35-carat ring sets the bar for, Carey promises something less extravagant.

"We are not doing a big wedding because he did two big weddings, and it's kind of like, 'I've done a big wedding [too],'" she said. "We would rather make it beautiful but humble."
