Who doesn’t love to gawk at engagement rings?
Now, without further ado, the rings!
Her 5-6ct oval diamond is set in a dainty yellow gold band and features a ‘hidden halo.’
I think this probably has a GIA clarity rating of VS2 or higher.
All things considered, the ring could have topped out at $300K."
But her ring is fabulous."
We’re looking at 4.5ct total diamonds."
“Platinum is not forgiving for color, making this another diamond in the colorless range.
Designed by Bachelor staple Neil Lane, I’d value this ring at approximately $150,000.”
At first glance it looks like the side stones are trilliants.
Why does she love the ring so much?
The first of these ladies to make the list is Kaitlyn Bristowe, who chose Shawn Booth.
So how does Abruzzo feel about this one?
“Not quite my style,” she admits, “but very popular with brides-to-be!
It all depends on the color and clarity of her center stone.”
In fact, Lauren’s ring may just top Abruzzo’s “best” list.
The more detail the less attention is focused on the center stone for better or for worse.
BTW we’re always assuming the best cuts on these!
For all these rings, a GIA Excellent cut grade with Excellent polish and symmetry is a no-brainer."
This is just a very pretty, well-executed ring."
So how much did it cost?
Haloed by white diamonds is her fancy light pink diamond, which looks like it’s about 1.5 carat.
What about clarity and price?
Abruzzo, for her part, says, “People loved this ring, but I really do not.
In my opinion it is way too busy.”
Am I done yet?
Not really, but just think: there are diamonds on every inch of this ring."
Hence, the assessment of being “busy.”
So what are all those diamonds worth?
Upon seeing it, she said, “Oh dear I’m not loving this one either.
That’s what someone needed to tell Neil Lane about this ring.”
Lane said this one gave a nod to Deco, but I think that’s a stretch."
Even though it’s ugly, it’s still expensive.
Abruzzo estimates it cost between $50,000 to $75,000.
Although the couple dated a bit but split shortly after the show ended.
Now for the ring itself, which Abruzzo calls “weird.”
But since these people are royalty, I believe they’d shell out …
