We have even more great news for die-hard Bachie fans.
Tim Robards, who was our very first Bachelor back in 2014, has proposed to the show’s winner Anna Heinrich, nearly three years after they made their relationship official on national television.
Now we know what the ring is worth. And boy, the chiropractor did not spare a cent!
Diamond expert David Allen told the Daily Mail the “flawless” four carat diamond ring could be worth up to $173,000.
Yes, Allen estimates Anna’s ring cost as much as a house. Well, a small house in the country, that is.
“The ring features a beautiful emerald cut diamond with round side stones set into a platinum band. The central diamond appears to be approximately 4 carats,” the 77diamonds.com creative director told the news site.

That diamond expert must need his eyes checked my diamond engagement ring is around 2.5 carats and looks double the size of Anna's. I'd estimate Anna's to be around 1.5 to 1.8 carats at the most.
Just to clarify, there is no way her ring costs that (although it is beautiful). Firstly, it is no where near 4 carets. Mine is 1.6 carets, and is bigger than her ring. Secondly, it's stupid to assume Tim went for the highly colour grading and most flawless - few people do! You can go for much lower colour and clarity ratings and still have the ring look great.
All that superficial, meaningless stuff aside - congrats to the couple! Wonderful news for them.
Doesn't it take into account the diamond band and smaller surrounding diamonds though?
I thought the same - doesn't look like 4 carats.
Hers is an emerald cut without a halo, so there is no surrounding band of diamonds.
Also, classically when you talk of carets you're talking about the centre diamond. And finally, a modest diamond with lots of other diamonds around it (eg on the band) etc could actually be quite cheap, because all the diamonds can be small and low quality. It is the bigger diamonds that need to have higher colour and clarity, as that's when their flaws are more obvious. You can get away with much more with halos etc.
Ps I hate myself for knowing this stuff.
