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.

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.
