Everything to Know About the Engagement Rings on "Love Is Blind"

If you're a fan of Netflix's "Love Is Blind," then you may be curious about the engagement rings, which are either chosen on set or brought in (Kyle Abrams presented his mom's ring to Shaina Hurley during season two, for example).

Knowing that on "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" the jewelry is entirely provided by Neil Lane, you have to wonder how much shopping the men on "LIB" could possibly be getting done outside of the pods, where they're holed up from the outside world.

What's more, if you're looking closely, you may notice similarities in some of the women's engagement rings. In fact, in season one, it appeared Lauren Speed, Jessica Batten, and Amber Pike wore identical rings following their proposals.

According to Netflix, all the men are presented with dozens of rings to choose from, unless they brought their own. "Whatever they choose, we pay for. Whatever we pay for, they keep, regardless of engagement ending," a representative told POPSUGAR.

And even though you might recognize similar elements on some designs - like diamond carat size, band embellishment, and setting - no two styles are exactly the same. Unassuming couples from season three like or SK Alagbada and Raven Ross surprised fans with their engagement after Ross was heavily involved with other cast member Bartise Bowden - yet Ross now has one of the most unique rings of the season, a large round diamond set in a swirl pattern on the band.

Netflix even shared that in season two, the men proposing discussed their choices together, so the rings felt unique to each recipient. Of course, there are fans who believe the women should be able to choose their preferred style before heading into the pods. That became a major issue in season two, when Mallory Zapata ended up with a silver ring picked by Salvador Perez instead of her preferred choice of gold. Perhaps the producers will find a way for both contestants to join the ring-selection process in future seasons.

In the meantime, keep reading for everything to know about the "Love Is Blind" engagement rings, including the similarities, the payment, and the process by which they are chosen.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
