On Monday, the latest edition of
ABC's "The Bachelor" wound up with the traditional teary-eyed proposal and a big rock. Hollywood jewelry designer
Neil Lane was the jeweler of choice, showing up to present Jake Pavelka with a choice of sparkling rocks. Pavelka hemmed and hawed over a round cut (representing good girl Tenley) and a princess cut (representing the more saucy Vienna). He ended up choosing Vienna and a Neil Lane princess-cut diamond and platinum ring. The ring is set with 70 diamonds for a total weight of 2.72 carats, the center diamond is a 2.02 carat princess-cut diamond. No word on price, but depending on the quality of the center stone this ring likely cost over $25,000. The ring was custom designed and signed by Lane. We'll probably be seeing a lot more Neil Lane this weekend on the Oscar red carpet.
