  • The Bachelor Proposes with a Neil Lane ring

    While I don’t religiously watch The Bachelor (heck, I don’t watch it at all), it seems to be quite the rage among our clientele. Neil Lane jewelry was in the forefront of a a recent proposal of bachelor Brad Womack to Emily Maynard with a ring set by the brand. Remember, we specialize in recreating pieces like this in a way that is individualized and specialized just for you.

     

    Maynard was presented with a diamond and platinum ring set with a cushion-cut center diamond accented with 263 round-brilliant-cut diamonds, for a total diamond weight of 3 carats. The set, valued at $50,000, was hand-crafted, designed and signed by Neil Lane.

    The Bachelor is a primetime reality series that features one man offered the chance to find true love. Throughout the season, Womack became acquainted with a bevy of bachelorettes, gradually narrowing the field until he was ready to make a commitment, proposing with the Neil Lane ring set.

    Neil Lane is a popular choice for Hollywood brides to be. He has supplied engagement rings for Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Sandra Bullock, Brooke Shields, Nicole Richie and Jennifer Hudson, among others. Additionally, the jewelry is commonly seen at red carpet events, such as the Oscars.

    Lane recently unveiled his new bridal collection at Kay Jewelers.

    It’s no secret that Elizabeth Taylor possessed an extensive and amazing jewelry collection. After her passing, what’s to become of $150 million worth of jewelry?

    Sources tell People it will likely go to auction at Christie’s in New York.
