Even prettier than Paradise. Jeweler to the stars, Neil Lane, flew down to Mexico to help the remaining Bachelor in Paradise suitors select awe-inspiring diamonds ahead of their proposals. As witnessed during the finale on Tuesday, September 6, Lane got a feel for what each man wanted in a ring — and the results were beautiful.
Here, The Knot reveals brand-new details about several of the rings from Neil Lane.
Josh Murray’s Ring for Amanda Stanton

Lane helped Murray choose an engagement ring for Bachelorette Andi Dorfman two years ago when he won season 10. “He was the same warm-hearted guy with the same energy and a desire to find love,” the jeweler shared with People after meeting with Murray. “He really met his forever partner in Amanda.”
The jeweler also revealed that he believes Murray’s feelings for Stanton are the real deal. “He expressed how much he really loved Amanda, how he’d met her kids and he just seemed so warm-hearted and very much in love,” Lane said.
Evan Bass’ Ring for Carly Waddell
Evan Bass chose the perfect engagement ring for his sweetheart – who couldn’t stop staring at the mesmerizing rock following her new fiance’s proposal.
According to Neil Lane, Carly Waddell’s 1.5-carat ring features a fancy colored, pear-shaped diamond surrounded by a halo of smaller diamonds. The diamond-set split band is set with 157 round diamonds, also set in platinum and hand crafted and signed by the famous jeweler.
