LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Every Bachelor Nation fan knows that the season finales always conclude with an engagement. Neil Lane appears in every finale, handing out engagement rings to the Bachelor or the men fighting for the affection of the Bachelorette.

The jeweler has been designing and delivering rings for the franchise for over a decade and also provided the ring for the 'The Golden Bachelor' finale on November 30.

The cost of Bachelor engagement rings varies per season, but the majority are said to cost between $45,000 and $100,000. The actual carat size varies for each pair, yet certain Bachelor engagement jewels will be remembered for their size and shine.

'The Golden Bachelor' couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist to have TV wedding

The ceremony will be telecasted in January 2024. The 'Bachelor' brand has returned to the wedding specials industry.

Jesse Palmer, the presenter of 'The Golden Bachelor: After the Final Rose', revealed that Gerry and his bride-to-be Theresa will get the full TV wedding treatment with a special broadcast on ABC.

"We are going to get married. We're going to do it as quickly as we can. Because at our age, we don't have a lot of time to waste," Gerry laughed. "So as quickly as we can put together a wedding plan, we're getting married," he added.

Theresa Nist spotted without engagement ring after 'The Golden Bachelor' proposal

Just days before the show's live TV finale, Theresa was photographed by The US Sun in New Jersey sans an engagement ring. When the season's dramatic ending is eventually aired on November 30, Bachelor viewers finally get to know who Gerry proposed to.

Theresa was seen out and about in her hometown on November 28 conducting errands before boarding a plane to head to Los Angeles for the live 'The Golden Bachelor' finale.

The reality personality was photographed carrying a velvet blue desk chair and a Marshall's shopping bag into a nearby HomeGoods, apparently to return the items.

According to an observer, she exited the store a few minutes later and dashed into her car.

The financial services expert wore denim jeans with floral decorations, a black faux fur jacket, black shoes, and a white soft knit hat with a brown pompom on top for the brief outing.

Her nails were painted in a baby blue lacquer. She didn't have an engagement ring on, but she did have a gold band on her middle finger, which she also wore on the show.

Theresa left for the airport after completing errands on Tuesday.

She left her house wearing the same dress she wore earlier in the day, carrying a suitcase and an oversized tote bag as she stepped into an awaiting Escalade to take her to the airport.

Who pays for 'The Golden Bachelor' ring?

According to Cheat Sheet, Neil contributes engagement rings to 'The Bachelor', 'The Bachelorette', and 'Bachelor in Paradise' in exchange for show promotion, which can be seen in sequences when he takes the guy's engagement ring shopping as well as various appearances during the finale.

Neil told InStyle that he begins the engagement ring design process before seeing the guys, but does not complete it until their consultation in the finale.

Who is Bachelor franchise ring designer Neil Lane?

Neil is the jeweler of choice for Hollywood brides-to-be. He has created engagement rings for celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Hudson, Kate Hudson, Jessica Simpson, Miley Cyrus, and Emily Blunt, among others.

The Neil Lane Bridal collection is available at Kay Jewelers.

Neil has garnered the respect and admiration of A-list celebrities as a passionate collector and designer of exquisite jewelry with an eye for style and elegance.

Neil's iconic pieces have adorned some of Hollywood's most beautiful and powerful women, including Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, Charlize Theron, Brie Larson, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Garner, Oprah, and many others, right from the Oscars to private celebrity events and red-carpet engagements.

The diamonds for this special occasion were chosen to mirror the woman on the date, who is elegant, smart, gorgeous, and, of course, glamorous.

Gerry picked a 50-carat pear-shaped diamond and platinum necklace, as well as a set of pear-shaped earrings with a charming French Fleur Des theme that wonderfully complimented the necklace.

The platinum earrings were handcrafted and set with nearly 70 tiny round diamonds, including a center dangling briolette-cut diamond.

The art deco diamond bracelet, designed and signed by Neil, added sparkles to the ensemble, giving it a lovely vintage air.
