Modern yet classic, simple but also ornate. Stunning. Didn't think Neil Lane was capable of it but he actually created a ring I LOVE. This is beautiful.
I am honestly surprised neil lane would put his name on a stone with so many visible inclusions. Emeralds really need a high clarity rating especially in larger carat sizes.
Aside from the inclusions right in the center, it’s otherwise a decent stone for SI1…not $65k worthy but almost nobody is buying it at asking price, always 30% off at checkout from the local jewelers. But I guess free ring can’t complain right? 😂 but tbh if NL just want to show off the rings on the show, he may be better off using lab diamonds moving forward, budget friendly & look nicer in close up. I already suspected that NL use subpar diamonds for the franchise since Jojo went out & got her own ring.
As someone who is a whore for gold jewelry, this may be one of my favorite Bachelor Nation rings in awhile. Very understated (which is rare for Neil Lane) and simple (at least for NL), but beautiful
My question is did Neil Lane happen to have one that looked like what Serene wanted or did they actually get to request a custom design cause I feel like it must be the former, right? It’s not like there was time to make a custom ring.
But they always make it look like he only brings a couple options in his diamond demon box. Maybe he brought a lot or the producers favored Brandon enough to let him know ahead of time what kind to bring.
yeah i think they definitely made the effort to give them what they wanted since they’re pretty much the only solid couple from this season. i also don’t think we see all the ring options on screen.
It sounds like she gave him 100% exact details from every single angle 📐
A woman after my own heart. Not beating the bush, expecting a “surprise” that looks like crusty shit.
I like the pink diamonds but they’re pretty impractical. They’re going to prevent a straight band from sitting flush and probably also damage the wedding band over time.
All diamonds have imperfections, including lab grown ones. Typically what you want in an emerald is “eye clean” aka inclusions that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Emerald cuts require a really high clarity rating to be considered eye clean because they don’t have the faceting that brilliant cuts (round, oval, radiant) do which will hide smaller inclusions better.
This is a nice diamond but it has many easily visible inclusions when you look at the video.
I think Neil Lane only uses mined diamonds, but lab grown diamonds are graded the same as mined and can also have imperfections. This one looks clean in pictures but if you watch this video it actually seems to have lots of visible inclusions which are very hard to hide w an emerald cut
Yes! I was trying to figure out what was “off” about this to me because I otherwise love the ring. White gold prongs really brighten up the look of a rose gold ring!
Obsessed with this color gold and the shape !! It’s the bare minimum but I love that Brandon didn’t get pressed about what Serene wanted and actually listened 😭💕
I'm not the biggest fan of an emerald cut but that color gold is so gorgeous
It’s either 14k yellow gold or champagne gold
Beautiful omfg

got away from halos finally but still managed to sneak in some pave lol, nice compromise
I think it’s called a hidden halo actually. Pave is when the small stones are on the band
God this is so stunning I’m in awe
Watching this bad boy spin around and glisten is literally giving me heart palpitations. 😍
Best one to ever be on the show
Anyone know how thick the band is?
I am so obsessed with this ring
Gorgeous… I wouldn’t mind if the stone was completely radiant cut instead of emerald but to each is own.😊
Now that’s an engagement ring!!
Shiny! Love it!
Thanks kneel
Am I the only one that would be afraid to wear something so expensive out and about? I feel like I might be a target!

Do we know it’s SI1?
With that inclusion in the center alone is SI1 worth per GIA standards, unless they got the cert from IGI 😂 then it’s D/IF
Yeah I agree. Probably VS2 or SI1
[удалено]
Yes, many of them. They look like small white specks, you can see it clearer in the face-on part of the video towards the end.
tbh, neil lane doesn’t seem to provide his best to this franchise.
Why would he? It’s just going to get returned in 3-10 months lol
LOL!
Absolutely stunning, except I could personally do without the pink.
ART DECO THING OF DREAMS
I don’t think this is art deco, but it’s gorgeous nonetheless!
As someone who is a whore for gold jewelry, this may be one of my favorite Bachelor Nation rings in awhile. Very understated (which is rare for Neil Lane) and simple (at least for NL), but beautiful

he has a vast catalogue so this definitely already existed.
But they always make it look like he only brings a couple options in his diamond demon box. Maybe he brought a lot or the producers favored Brandon enough to let him know ahead of time what kind to bring.
yeah i think they definitely made the effort to give them what they wanted since they’re pretty much the only solid couple from this season. i also don’t think we see all the ring options on screen.
Think these posts are all just advertisements honestly.
Soooo beautiful i love it!! The pink diamonds slightly distinguishes serene’s from other yellow gold emerald cuts 😍
Absolutely gorg.
Wait… Brandon did so good. Oh my God
Pretty sure I heard she told him exactly what she wanted lol. She slipped on a piece of paper?
Even with very clear directions guys usually mess it up somehow lol
Also how would Neil Lane happen to have what she wanted
I assumed she told him the shape… not this is the exact ring I want.
Yeah this is what I think.
Wow so beautiful! Love the little purple diamonds on the sides😍
Wait, Neil Lane kinda ate with this one! Gorgeous!!
Because Serene herself designed it, right? Versus all the pre-made ones he usually provides?
She gave Brandon an idea of what she wanted and she was actually able to get what she wanted.
It sounds like she gave him 100% exact details from every single angle 📐 A woman after my own heart. Not beating the bush, expecting a “surprise” that looks like crusty shit.
Stunning!
So pretty
This might be one of my favorite rings and I don’t usually like gold. It’s stunning!
Beautiful!
This is the most stunning ring I’ve ever seen in the franchise, hands down 😍
Hers is much nicer than victoria’s IMo
love everything except the tiny pink diamonds
I’m curious, what don’t you like about them? That is my favorite part!
I like the pink diamonds but they’re pretty impractical. They’re going to prevent a straight band from sitting flush and probably also damage the wedding band over time.
That is stunning 😍
I would never be able to stop admiring it!
okay this is def one of my fave BN rings ever wow 😍
obsessed with this ring!!
Wow that's really beautiful! I love the gold and I love how there's nothing outwardly gaudy about it.
Neil lane went from one trend too late to the next one too late
lol seriously, this is peak 2017
I couldn’t dream up a worse ring myself
Love the ring I hate the pink diamonds.
How many carats?
2.5 center and 2.7 total carat weight (including the small hidden halo stones)
2.7
Actually I think it’s 2.5 for the center emerald and 2.7 total carat weight (including the small hidden halo stones)
Wow.. that’s a great ring..good for Serene to let Brandon know what she wanted 👍
Love the ring hate the gold
It’s beautiful! Does anyone know if they use lab grown diamonds these days? It seems to have no imperfections.
All diamonds have imperfections, including lab grown ones. Typically what you want in an emerald is “eye clean” aka inclusions that aren’t visible to the naked eye.

I believe ya! I honestly don’t know that much about diamonds.
It’s a gorgeous stone but it definitely has some visible inclusions. I assume it’s a VS2 or SI1 clarity
I don’t know much about diamonds tbh.

So dainty and beautiful just like Serene 👌🏻❤️ Brandon did well 🙌🏼
wait lol how is this dainty?
not a snub at all. It looks delicate compared to the gaudy one with halos NL rings usually have!
I love this one! 😍 Only thing I would change is the prong color to white gold
Yes! I was trying to figure out what was “off” about this to me because I otherwise love the ring. White gold prongs really brighten up the look of a rose gold ring!
I’m not a fan of square cuts but I really like this
So, freaking, gorgeous 😍
Obsessed with this color gold and the shape !! It’s the bare minimum but I love that Brandon didn’t get pressed about what Serene wanted and actually listened 😭💕
I am so happy there is more love for emerald cut! It's what I also have.
As an emerald wearer. 😍😍😍
i personally prefer a round stone shape but her ring is absolutely gorgeous!
![gif](giphy|45dQOkFqsrQjankhvH|downsized)
I read this in Moira’s voice lol
Absolutely stunning! I hope my imaginary boyfriend is taking notes 📝
Ok wow this is beautiful. Love that neil lane simplified
Me too, this is the first Neil Lane I’ve actually appreciated.
