‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ Engagement Rings Through the Years

Not every season of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette or Bachelor in Paradise ends with a diamond engagement ring, but when it does, it’s worth seeing.

Through the years, the franchise has provided Us with entertainment and glamour thanks to Neil Lane. Season after season, the jewelry designer has crafted the perfect sparkler — each unique for the year’s lucky couple. From Rachel Lindsay‘s 3-carat diamond to JoJo Fletcher‘s oval stunner, it’s hard to pick which ring stands out the most.

Lane revealed in an interview with The New York Times in 2019 that he’s a hopeless romantic, and though some Bachelor Nation romances don’t work out, he tries to “focus” on the immense love they shared on screen when designing jewels.

“It’s all about the love and affection and sharing that people have,” he told the newspaper. “Sometimes it doesn’t work out, with all the pretty finery and the lavish or exotic weddings. It just doesn’t. But for a moment in time, there is a real unity between people, there’s a real magnificent energy that comes out of these people that I’m working with.”

Season 19 of The Bachelorette was a big one, considering there were two leading ladies: Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia. Though it seemed there could be trouble with more than one Bachelorette picking from the same pool of suitors, the installment ended with both women finding a match. Recchia said yes to Tino Franco, though they split after the September 2022, finale due to his infidelity. On proposal day, Franco popped the question with an emerald-cut diamond ring that featured a gold band, per People.

Windey, meanwhile, fell for Erich Schwer. He got down on one knee with an oval-cut diamond. Two months later, however, the duo confirmed their split.
