Diamond Expert Ranks Bachelor Franchise Engagement Rings From Best To Worst

While Abruzzo is wonderful at giving us the technical breakdown of these rings, she also has a heart and her own preferences, and she says of Jade Roper's ring from Bachelor in Paradise, "I personally love Jade's understated ring, which also gives a nod to the Deco design period." And then on to the technicalities, she explains, "Her beautiful emerald cut diamond of about 2 carats is set in platinum with an unusual 'east-west' orientation, meaning it's been rotated 180 degrees. At first glance it looks like the side stones are trilliants. But a closer look reveals that the tapered accents are actually three rows of bead-set round diamonds accentuated by scrolling on the ring's gallery."

Why does she love the ring so much? Abruzzo says, "Emerald cuts have to be the cleanest of the clean, and even at a relatively smaller carat weight you need to be careful because most table inclusions will show," and in this case, it looks quite flawless. "If Jade's diamond is a GIA VVS2 or higher," says Abruzzo, "coupled with the high color grade from being set in platinum, Jade's ring could've cost $75,000."
