If you’re a fan of Netflix’s hit reality show “Love Is Blind,” then you’re probably just as obsessed with the engagement rings as you are with the dramatic love triangles. From Kyle Abrams presenting his mom’s ring to Shaina Hurley during season two, to the identical rings worn by Lauren Speed, Jessica Batten, and Amber Pike in season one, the rings have become a hot topic among viewers.
But have you ever wondered where these rings come from and how they are chosen? With shows like “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” providing Neil Lane engagement rings, it’s natural to question the process on “Love Is Blind.”
According to the show’s production company, Kinetic Content, the men on “Love Is Blind” are presented with dozens of rings to choose from, unless they bring their own. And unlike “The Bachelor,” where the rings are provided by a specific jeweler, “Love Is Blind” has featured rings from various sources, including Bridal Rings Co. in seasons four and five.
But what happens to the rings if the engagement doesn’t work out? Well, according to Kinetic, whatever the show pays for, the contestants get to keep, regardless of the outcome of the relationship. This means that even if the engagement ends, the ring is still theirs to keep.
While some fans have noticed similarities in the rings, such as diamond carat size, band embellishment, and setting, Kinetic assures that no two styles are exactly the same. In fact, in season two, the men proposing even discussed their choices with each other to ensure that the rings felt unique to each recipient.
However, there have been some concerns raised by viewers about the ring-selection process. In season two, contestant Mallory Zapata ended up with a silver ring chosen by the show’s stylist, instead of her preferred choice of gold. This has led to some fans suggesting that the women should also have a say in the ring they receive.
Perhaps in future seasons, the producers will find a way for both contestants to be involved in the ring-selection process. But for now, the rings on “Love Is Blind” continue to be a symbol of love and commitment, regardless of how they are chosen.
So, what about the wedding dresses? While the show has received some criticism for not showing enough diversity in the dresses, the production team has explained that the contestants are given a budget and are free to choose their own dresses. This means that the dresses are a reflection of each individual’s personal style and taste, rather than a predetermined choice by the show.
In the end, “Love Is Blind” is all about finding love without the distractions of physical appearance. And while the engagement rings and wedding dresses may seem like superficial elements, they are still a part of the journey towards finding true love.
So, as we eagerly await the next season of “Love Is Blind,” let’s appreciate the unique and diverse choices of engagement rings and wedding dresses, and remember that the most important thing is the love and connection between the contestants. After all, that’s what truly matters in the end.
