I go back and forth on whether I can’t stand or can mildly tolerate Tori Spelling. She can come across as remarkably likeable, especially in her books, where she’s open and honest about motherhood in a way few celebrities would be. But then she’ll have one of her classic overshare moments and I wind up feeling sick to my stomach.

I’ve never been really impressed with her husband Dean McDermott – he just struck me as someone who jumped on a better gravy train when it passed through town. Not that Tori was innocent in him leaving his wife for her. But he’s slightly redeemed himself. It turns out he does something pretty romantic for their wedding anniversaries: buys her a new ring for each one.

Dean McDermott is keeping his promise to buy Tori Spelling a new wedding ring every anniversary. This year, the actor took his wife to dinner at Hollywood hotspot Mr. Chow and surprised her with a Neil Lane sparkler. “I love the tradition Dean has started,” Spelling exclusively tells PEOPLE. “Every year when he slips it on my ring finger, it reminds me of the day he made me his wife and we started our amazing journey together as one.”

The antique French ring consists of a round white diamond and a fancy round yellow diamond set side by side, symbolizing the expression “Toi et Moi”, or “You and Me”. “I can’t wait to one day pass on my amazing wedding band collection to my kids and their kids,” says Spelling, who is mom to daughter Stella, 11 months and son Liam, 2.

I’m not going to lie, a new ring every year would make me like a lot of guys I would otherwise feel neutral about. Not like them enough to marry them or anything, but let’s say he was a friend’s husband and I thought he was just so-so… good jewelry would definitely raise my opinion of him. That’s pretty sad.

You can see a picture of the ring here. It’s not really my taste – I don’t generally care for mixed metals, and the “yellow” diamond (which looks brown in the picture) next to the white diamond doesn’t really do it for me. I would like it if it were all one metal and two matching diamonds. But I’m going to let Dean slide on this one, because it’s the thought that counts. He should probably send me some jewelry for that.
