Joan Vassos showed off a huge diamond engagement ring from Chock Chapple during the finale of The Golden Bachelorette on Wednesday.
The beautiful stone was from Hollywood jeweler Neil Lane and made under his Couture banner, it was explained during the aftershow.
DailyMail.com has learned that the bling costs about $80,000.
According to The Diamond Bank in Los Angeles, the center stone is large enough to justify that high price.
“There is a large, emerald-cut center stone with two generous, tapered diamond baguettes on each side,” a spokesperson said.
“That amounts to a lot of carats and a high price,” it added.
Vassos flashed the ring after Chapple – they are both 61 – got down on one knee and popped the question on the beach in Bora Bora. She said yes and then they both said “I love you” several times.
