Everything to Know About the Engagement Rings on "Love Is Blind"

11/03/2022 - 11:25 AM

If you're a fan of Netflix's "Love Is Blind," [1] then you may be curious about the engagement rings [2], which are either chosen on set or brought in (Kyle Abrams [3] presented his mum's ring to Shaina Hurley during season two [4]).

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 series 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 [5] 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 [6] 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.

In the meantime, scroll down for everything to know about the "Love Is Blind [7]" engagement rings, including the similarities, the payment, and the process by which they are chosen.

Do the Men Choose the Engagement Rings on Love Is Blind?

In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, series creator Chris Coelen reveals details about the show's unique process [8]. He confirms that the men who chose to propose did get to see a collective of jewels, from which they were allowed to select one engagement ring. "Since they were in the facility and weren't able to go out into the 'real world' at that point, they couldn't have been able to go [to a shop]. We wouldn't have allowed them to at that point. It's obviously such a gigantic moment in people's lives that we wanted it to be as authentic to them as it possibly could be," he said.

Are the Engagement Rings Paid For on Love Is Blind?

If the rings were chosen from the Love Is Blind [9] collection that was presented to the men, then they were paid for. Coelen confirmed that couples were allowed to elevate their own bridal details if they wanted to spend out of pocket. "If they wanted to spend their own money, or try to enhance it within reason, we would certainly allow that. We would never put any constraints on them unless it was something we couldn't accommodate within the show. That was really up to them."

Do Any of the Brides Have the Same Engagement Ring on Love Is Blind?

There are fans of Love Is Blind [10] and then there are investigators, some of whom realised that Lauren, Jessica, and Amber were all sporting the same engagement rings [11]. Page Six rounded up some Tweets that show a true commitment [12] to scanning for the nitty-gritty details that aren't exactly acknowledged during the show [13].
