If you’re a fan of Netflix’s Love Is Blind, then you may be curious about the engagement rings, which are either chosen on set or brought in (Kyle Abrams presented his mum’s ring to Shaina Hurley during season two).
Knowing that on shows like The Bachelor, the jewellery is entirely provided by Neil Lane, you have to wonder how much shopping the men on “LIB” could possibly be getting done outside of the pods, where they’re holed up from the outside world.
What’s more, if you’re looking closely, you may notice similarities in some of the women’s engagement rings. In fact, in season one, it appeared Lauren Speed, Jessica Batten, and Amber Pike wore identical rings following their proposals.
According to Netflix, all the men are presented with dozens of rings to choose from, unless they brought their own. “Whatever they choose, we pay for. Whatever we pay for, they keep, regardless of engagement ending,” a representative told POPSUGAR.
And even though you might recognise similar elements on some designs, like diamond carat size, band embellishment, and setting, no two styles are exactly the same. Netflix even shared that in season 2, the men proposing even discussed their choices together, so the rings felt unique to each recipient.
Of course, there are fans who believe the women should be able to choose their preferred style before heading into the pods. That became a major issue in season two, when Mallory Zapata ended up with a silver ring picked by Salvador Perez, instead of her preferred choice of gold. Perhaps, the producers will find a way for both contestants to join the ring selection process in future seasons.
