Karl, who has been 'shredding for the wedding' couldn't contain his ear-to-ear grin as he left the store with his new wedding band.

At one point, Karl was arm in arm with a staff member from the jewellery store as he paraded his upbeat mood.

Interestingly, Karl has previously praised Cerrone for designing Jasmine's impressive diamond engagement ring.

The ring is believed to be worth more than $100,000.

Jasmine also had a wide smile as she was left the store by walking on the purple carpet.

For the outing, Jasmine looked every inch the beautiful bride-to-be in activewear, wearing a velvet style zip-up cardigan.

The Mara & Mine shoe designer paired the jacket with black and white tights and a pair of Nike runners.

With her blonde hair tied back, Jasmine finished her outfit with a partially transparent designer bag and a pair of luxury oversized sunglasses.

For the outing, Karl looked casual in a tight pair of black jeans which he paired with a partially unbutton lavender shirt.

What's in the bag? Karl left holding two elegant bags from the upscale Sydney jewellery store. Cerrone was where the Channel Nine personality got Jasmine's engagement ring

Details of the ring have remained a closely guarded secret, with the sparkler expected to be very impressive.

Elsewhere, Jasmine was pictured putting getting her nails done after the loved-up couple picked up their rings.

Cerrone is the Sydney jeweller where Karl got Jasmine's diamond engagement ring made, with it previously rumoured to be worth $120,000.

Earlier this year, however, Karl denied those claims: 'The ring was made by (jeweller) Nic Cerrone and didn't cost $120,000. Those figures are ridiculous.'

Celebration: Jasmine couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she and Karl spent the day with the last minute touches for their Mexican wedding

Last week the couple obtained the required marriage license before they officially tie the knot.

Karl and Jasmine will exchange vows on December 8 in a picturesque chapel at the One&Only Palmilla Resort in San Jòse del Cabo, where they'll also be staying.

They have booked two villas - one priced at $11,600 per night, and another at $15,000 per night - for the three-day celebrations.

Daily Mail Australia understands that Karl and Jasmine chose the resort due to its exclusivity and rich history.

It is only accessible by a private yacht or plane and has hosted the likes of Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Lucille Ball and former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The couple confirmed their engagement in February, with New Idea reporting that Karl had proposed to Jasmine while on holiday in Fiji.

The guest list reportedly includes Jasmine's Mara & Mine business partner Tamara Ingham and her sister, as well as James Packer and his girlfriend Kylie Lim.

Also rumoured to be attending are Richard Wilkins and his girlfriend Virginia Burmeister, and Karl's longtime manager Sharon Finnigan.

It comes after Karl revealed several details about his upcoming nuptials.

'I'm marrying a Queensland girl, there are going to be a few Queensland elements to the wedding. It's a really important thing for us,' he told The Courier-Mail recently.

This will be Karl's second wedding, and it follows his divorce from Cassandra Thorburn last year.

Karl and Jasmine claim to have first met at a Sydney boat party in December 2016, just months after his split with wife Cassandra.

The former couple have three children together.
