“Bachelorette” Clare Crawley’s unique engagement came with an equally one-of-a-kind ring.
On Thursday night’s episode of the ABC hit, Crawley, 39, “blew up ‘The Bachelorette'” by bowing out early and getting engaged to frontrunner Dale Moss, with Tayshia Adams replacing her as the new Season 16 lead.
Moss, 32, popped the question with a 4.5-carat Art Deco-style sparkler designed by franchise favorite Neil Lane, featuring a radiant-cut diamond framed by two shield-shaped stones and accented with 145 smaller round diamonds.
“No one knew if we’d even be able to have the season because of COVID,” Lane told People. “And then Clare fell in love at first sight, so I had to scramble!”
Continued the celebrity jeweler, “”She had made up her mind and I had to design the ring in record time — it was stressful and crazy, but crazy fun. I had time to make just one perfect ‘Wow’ ring. It was a miracle we got it done!”
Crawley appeared to be wearing the ring while out and about in her hometown of Sacramento, Calif., last month. At the time, the star shut down engagement rumors by calling the jewelry “a commitment to myself first and foremost, to embody self-love.”
As Lane told People of his “show-stopper” creation, “The whole thing was an adventure — it was stressful but fun, and the ring is unique, very dynamic and stylized… and there are diamonds everywhere.”
