It’s not unusual for Bachelor winners or Bachelorette leads to slip a Neil Lane diamond on their finger all over the finale of their respective seasons — however how many former contestants get to keep their rings? Us Weekly has rounded up the solutions, Bachelor Nation.
There are two tactics for Bachelor Nation participants to stay the engagement ring proficient to them via the ABC sequence. Make it down the aisle … or keep engaged for no less than two years.
“After a certain selection of years, you get to stay it anyway. But after months … it is going again,” former host Chris Harrison confirmed to Entertainment Weekly in 2016 ahead of joking that he assists in keeping the rocks after a breakup. “They’re on a necklace and I’ll put on it around from time to time. I’ll wear it out [and] I've, like, 20 other engagement rings.”
Chris added Neil, the designer who has been supplying rings for the franchise for more than a decade, won't notice that one of the most jewellery is returned. During a 2016 interview with StyleCaster, Neil quipped that the diamonds go to “ring heaven” if the couple doesn’t closing.
“After they get the hoop, I don’t have a say in it, and what happens after that, I don’t know,” he said. “I do make those rings with an excessive amount of pastime — I have my entire group of workers working on them, with numerous romance involved. And we hope it lasts forever. And unusually, there are some which can be doing amazingly neatly.”
Season 14 Bachelorette Becca Kufrin as soon as joked about a “ring graveyard,” telling the “Bachelor Party” podcast in December 2020: “They get to stay all of them locked away, hidden from everyone — all of the scorned rings.”
There are exceptions to the two-year rule, then again. Season 6 Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky published on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast in 2020 that producers came to accumulate her engagement ring after her 2011 break up from Roberto Martinez — but she refused to hand it over.
“[We had been together for] 18 months and the rationale I know that so smartly is as a result of I remember they wanted to, like, take my engagement ring away. And I used to be like, ‘No, this is part of my historical past, like, that is mine, you can't have it!’” Ali recalled. “Per the contract, it used to be supposed to be two years, but they let me keep it.”
While the former reality TV famous person is now happily married to Kevin Manno, with whom she stocks daughter Molly and son Riley, Ali admitted she was “emotionally distraught” from the breakup on the time.
