Every Engagement Ring in Bachelor Nation History

44 jaw-dropping diamond rings, coming right up!

The Bachelorette

ABC/Craig Sjodin

When it comes to The Bachelor franchise, our favorite details (besides the drama and the love stories!) are the diamond rings that come at the end of (almost) every season. We watch eagerly each week as contestants get closer to true love, marriage, and the real prize: a stunning rock from Neil Lane.

From unique pear-shaped stones to diamond-encrusted baubles, Bachelor Nation rings rarely disappoint. Between The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad, Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelor: Winter Games, America has been watching the ABC franchise for years to see two strangers fall deeply in love on TV. And while statistically not all love found on the show lasts, diamonds are forever.

Bachelorette Clare Crawley not only stunned us with her very early engagement to contestant Dale Moss on episode four of season 16 (a Bachelor Nation first), but her bling was even more of a stunner.

Here, we recount every diamond engagement ring from all 43 marriage proposals in Bachelor Nation history.

In a franchise in which every season claims to be the most dramatic, it's safe to assume that Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s finale takes the proverbial cake. Arie Luyendyk Jr. ended season 22 of The Bachelor with, not one, but two proposals. First, he popped the question to Becca Kufrin at the final rose ceremony, slipping a 3-carat Neil Lane diamond ring with pavé band and halo on her finger. But that wasn't the last time we saw Arie on one knee...

Between the time that filming wrapped in November 2017 and the finale at the beginning of March 2018, Arie and Becca split due to the former Bachelor's change of heart. He quickly reconciled with the season's runner-up, Lauren Burnham, and proposed to her during the live After the Final Rose special with a 3.5-carat cushion-cut Neil Lane diamond.

At the conclusion of a sweaty and eventful season five of Paradise, two couples left with Neil Lane rocks. The first were Jordan Kimball and Jenna Cooper, who received a 1.5-carat cushion-cut ring. However, their romance was short-lived as Jenna was reportedly less than faithful once the couple left the beach.

The second of two engagements to come out of Paradise was that of Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone. Both were villains on their respective seasons, but found the best in themselves and in each other in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Chris proposed marriage and a lifetime of happiness with a 2-carat pear-shaped diamond set in a halo of 94 smaller diamonds. After marrying in 2019, the couple called it quits a year later.

When it came down to the final rose ceremony on season 15 of The Bachelorette, fans had no idea which contestant Hannah Brown would choose. In the end, it was Jed Wyatt who won the Alabama native's heart, proposing with a 3-carat oval-cut diamond surrounded by a diamond halo and set on a platinum band. Their engagement, however, was short-lived and by the finale, Brown revealed that she called off her relationship with the musician.

Haggerty on the other hand proposed to Burnett with a square-cut diamond ring set on a diamond-encrusted band. Shortly after the romantic moment in Mexico, the couple announced they had split, subsequently ending their historic engagement.

Pilot Peter Weber got down on one knee to propose to contestant Hannah Ann Sluss during the latest season finale of The Bachelor. For the engagement, Weber chose 3.27-carat pear-shaped diamond ring surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds by none other than Neil Lane. However, like most Bachelor couples before them, Weber and Sluss quickly called their relationship quits as Weber still had feelings for another contestant.

According to reps for Neil Lane, Crawley's ring is a central cut diamond that is framed by 2 shield cut diamonds and surrounded by 145 smaller, round-cut diamonds. The whole ring is a whopping 4 and a half carats! (Fun fact: Season 14’s bachelorette Becca Kufrin received a similar three-stone style from ex-fiancé Garrett.)

She was even spotted wearing it out and about before the conclusion of her time on the show—which in the past has been frowned upon by producers since it gives away the ending. Obviously, Crawley doesn't play by the rules. See how her shocking episode four proposal went down.

Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark

The Bachelorette

Probably the most eventful season of The Bachelorette concluded with a proposal—the second one of the season. Tayshia gave her final rose to Zac, who followed up the gesture by popping the big question. Dressed in theme wearing all white, of course, she said yes. So what did she say “yes” to?  Well, a lifetime of happiness and a 3.25-Carat engagement ring designed by Bachelor Nation’s resident jeweler Neil Lane.

"The emerald cut is very classic, very 1920s, vintage and high-style," Neil Lane told People about the design. 

We did our own digging to find out more about the diamond surrounded by even more diamonds and set on a white gold (or platinum) diamond-adorned band. Kathryn Money, Brilliant Earth’s SVP of Merchandising & Retail Expansion tells us, “Depending on the quality and specific characteristics of the center stone, we estimate the cost of the engagement ring between approximately $45,000-75,000.”

She also recommended dupes to get the look of Tayshia’s ring at only a fraction of the price: Odessa Diamond Engagement Ring ($1,390), Luxe Ballad Halo Diamond Engagement Ring ($1, 690), Waverly Diamond Engagement Ring ($1, 950).
