Joan Vassos was beaming with joy on Wednesday’s finale of The Golden Bachelorette when she flashed a dazzling diamond engagement ring from Chock Chapple.
The stunning piece, created by Hollywood jeweler Neil Lane under his Couture line, was revealed during the after-show as a beautiful symbol of the couple’s commitment.
DailyMail.com learned that the ring’s value is approximately $80,000, thanks to its sizable emerald-cut center stone and two tapered diamond baguettes on either side.
According to experts from The Diamond Bank in Los Angeles, the high price reflects the generous carat weight of the ring’s components.
The Emotional Proposal
The moment was nothing short of magical. Chock, 61, got down on one knee on the picturesque beach in Bora Bora, where he asked Joan to marry him.
Overcome with emotion, Joan said yes, and the couple exchanged heartfelt words of love, promising to be there for each other.
As they looked forward to their future, Chock also made a special promise—after the proposal, they plan to move to New York City, marking a new chapter in their life together.
A Grand Celebration in Los Angeles
Before heading to the East Coast, the couple will celebrate their engagement with a grand party in Los Angeles.
Chock shared with Us Weekly that the celebration will be even bigger than most weddings.
“We’ve got friends coming from all over the country,” he said.
“It’s going to be our coming-out party as a couple, and we’re incredibly excited about it.”
They’ll soon begin apartment hunting in New York City, eager to start their life together.
The Final Decision
As the finale approached, Joan, who hails from Maryland, had narrowed the 24 contestants down to two: Chock and Guy Gansert, 66.
Joan had promised herself she wouldn’t say “I love you” until the end of her journey, and she stayed true to that.
Although Joan had planned to have final dates with both men, including introductions to her children, she made her decision after the first date with Chock.
This left Guy heartbroken, although there was no animosity between them. Joan explained to Guy that her heart simply belonged to Chock.
Heartfelt Goodbye
Guy, who had believed he was going to propose, took the news with grace, admitting he was devastated but understanding of Joan’s feelings.
“I really thought this was gonna happen,” he said.
Joan, clearly torn by the decision, reassured him that he would always hold a special place in her life.
“You’re an amazing human being, full of love and kindness,” she told him, adding that she would always cherish their time together.
Chock’s Emotional Moment
When Chock joined Joan during the live finale, he admitted it had been a blur and expressed how heartbreaking it was to relive the moment.
However, the experience taught him an important lesson: true love could be found again.
Chock, clearly emotional, embraced Joan as he told her he never imagined feeling such deep love at this stage in his life.
The Proposal Moment
As the final moments of the show unfolded, Chock nervously prepared to propose, knowing Joan had not yet said those three words.
In a heartfelt moment, Joan finally shared her love for him.
“We are living proof that no matter what life throws at you, there is still hope—even at our age,” Joan told him, explaining that she had waited until this special moment to tell him she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
Overcome with emotion, Chock promised to love her every day, saying he would never let her feel invisible.
A Happy Future Together
In response to Chock’s proposal, Joan joyfully accepted, “Of course, I’ll marry you.”
She then picked up the final rose and asked if he would accept it.
Chock eagerly agreed, declaring, “Absolutely, with all my love.”
Joan immediately called her mother to share the news, proudly introducing Chock as her fiancé.
As the couple shared a kiss on a boat ride, their joy was palpable.
The live studio audience applauded as they were introduced, and Joan proudly showed off her engagement ring to host Jesse Palmer.
To make the moment even more special, Jesse surprised them with a trip to Disney World for both their families.
As the couple looks forward to their future together, they are already an inspiration to many.
And for fans of The Bachelor, a sneak peek at Grant Ellis’ upcoming season gave viewers a glimpse of what’s to come.
