Where do the Love is Blind engagement rings come from?

With Love is Blind Season 7 streaming on Netflix now, you’re probably curious about the show’s engagement rings; where do they come from, who picks them, and who pays for them?

Love is Blind is a reality dating show where single contestants have to get to know each other from within purpose-built pods, where they can only communicate through their voices, and can’t see each other face-to-face.

If a proposal is accepted, a couple can leave their pods and finally meet face-to-face. After this, they’ll be given the opportunity to get to know each other, before they decide whether or not to go ahead with the marriage.

While watching the proposal scenes, many have wondered where the rings come from, and who pays for them. Here’s everything to know.

Where do the Love is Blind rings come from?

Love is Blind’s engagement rings mostly come from Bridal Rings Company, a jewelry company based on Los Angeles. However, some men bring their own rings (albeit this is really rare).

In an interview with Variety after Season 2, the show’s creator Chris Coelen was asked if many people bring their own rings (like Kyle Abrams).

“Not at all. They don’t. If they want to propose and want to have a ring to give, we provide — up to a certain level — a ring for them to do that with.

“If they choose to do that, we actually give choices. There are, like, 10 or 12 different styles and colors. It’s up to them, they don’t have to. There’s no pressure to do that.”

Bridal Rings Company has been Love is Blind’s ring provider since Season 2, although it’s unclear where they came from in the first season.

Does Love is Blind pay for the rings?

Yes, the engagement rings on Love is Blind are paid for by the show.

The men are able to choose from a limited selection of natural diamond engagement rings before they enter the pods.

In an interview with ET, Coelen said: “Once they decided to get engaged, they were given a couple of choices should they want to take us up on that. That was, again, their choice.

“Since they were in the facility and weren’t able to go out into the “real world” at that point, they couldn’t have been able to go [to a shop]. We wouldn’t have allowed them to at that point. It’s obviously such a gigantic moment in people’s lives that we wanted it to be as authentic to them as it possibly could be.”

A representative for Kinetic Company, Love is Blind’s production company, also confirmed to Pop Sugar: “Whatever they choose, we pay for. Whatever we pay for, they keep, regardless of engagement ending.”

Are all the rings on Love is Blind the same?

No, the rings on Love is Blind are not all the same.

Coelen revealed that contestants actually have a range of “10 or 12 different styles and colors” to choose from, and Season 3 star Bartise Bowden also recalled: “I think we had an option of like seven to 10 rings to rate based on the pod days.

“Because that’s something you would talk about on a pod date with your potential fiancé is what kind of ring do you like, so the guys had to rate which ones we thought our women would like the most.”

Who pays for the Love is Blind wedding?

Love is Blind weddings are paid for by the show.

Series creator Chris Coelen revealed to Newsweek that everything is provided for the couples, but that, “If there’s anything over and above what we would normally do then [the couples] are most certainly welcome to do that.”
