Romee Strijd's Laurens van Leeuwen partner is putting it a ring on it after 12 years of dating.

The 26-year-old former Victoria's Secret model shared via Instagram Tuesday that she and Laurens van Leeuwen are engaged.

Strijd celebrated the occasion by sharing some of their special moments in a series of sentimental Instagram photos.

In the photos, van Leeuwen is seen on one knee holding out the ring while Strijd, sporting a fitted white snow outfit complete with a black stripe down the side, smiles in sweet surprise in one snap. The Switzerland mountains serve as a stunning backdrop for the beautiful moment.

"I said YES 💍❤️," Strijd captioned the pictures.

The carousel also featured a photo of a delicious mountainside meal and an adorable picture of the now-fiancés beaming at one another, wrapping with a snap of them kissing.

Strijd's round brilliant cut diamond, designed by Ring Concierge Fine Jewelry, is on full display in another snap. As shared with PEOPLE, it's set in a two-tone "Whisper Thin Trio" that showcases three pavé diamonds on either side of the center stone.
