"The Bachelorette" Rachel Lindsay accepted the proposal from Bryan Abasolo with her dream ring.
Abasolo, a 37-year-old chiropractor from Miami, Florida, proposed to Lindsay, a 32-year-old Dallas attorney, in Spain with a customized Neil Lane ring.
The pear-shaped 3-carat diamond ring is surrounded by a diamond halo and accented with 80 more diamonds along the band, a representative for the show told INSIDER.
Lindsay told People that she had wanted a pear-shaped ring, but that the halo was inspired by Beyoncé.
“He told me on our second time together that he felt like I had a halo around my head, and he explained it, and the Beyoncé halo song has kind of been our thing,” she said. “So for him to incorporate that into the ring, it’s beautiful.”
E! Online reported that the ring cost $100,000, though a show rep told INSIDER that they won't be commenting or confirming the price of the ring.
The ring resulted in some mixed reactions from fans.
Some fans absolutely loved the design.

The romantic moment was shown during a dramatic episode that infuriated many fans and resulted in Peter Kraus, a 31-year-old personal trainer, as the runner-up.
Lindsay showed up without her ring to the "After the Final Rose" special, but quickly put it on after Abasolo re-proposed.
"Rachel, I was in love with you when I proposed to you on top of that castle in Spain," he said. "And every single day that has passed, I fall deeper and deeper in love with you. I never want you to take this ring off your finger ever again. Will you remarry me?"
"Yes," she excitedly said.
Congratulations to the happy couple.
