Joan Vassos offered Chock Chapple her final rose on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, and he gave her a sparkling diamond engagement ring. 60-year-old Chock helped design the Art Deco-style stunner, with the assistance of famed jeweler, Neil Lane. 61-year-old Joan hadn't taken the ring off since Chock slipped it onto her finger. The ring shows off Chock's good taste, and perfectly encapsulates Joan's style.

Joan was no stranger to looking for love on national television, since she made her television debut as a contestant on The Golden Bachelor season 1. Joan couldn't make things work with Gerry Turner, so she was cast as the spin-off's first female lead. Joan met Chock on the premiere night of The Golden Bachelorette season 1, and the rest, as they say, is history. Read on to learn more about Joan's gorgeous ring, and see some pictures of the dazzling bauble.

Joan's Art Deco-Inspired Stunner

Timeless Sophistication

According to People, Chock proposed to Joan with a 4-carat Neil Lane Couture diamond ring featuring an emerald-cut center stone flanked by two tapered baguettes, and surrounded by 58 round brilliant-cut diamonds. According to Lane, he wanted something "classic" for Joan, drawing inspiration from the 1920's Art Deco era. Neil Lane Couture posted gorgeous photos of the ring on Instagram. The design really embodies The Golden Bachelorette's classic sophistication and timeless elegance.

After getting engaged during The Golden Bachelorette season 1 finale, Joan and Chock rode off into the sunset to live their happily ever after. They brought their families together for their first Thanksgiving, and got everyone back together for Christmas. Things seemed to be going well until Joan and Chock announced they'd be taking two weeks away from each other between the holidays. It's possible that they just had life stuff to catch up on, but it could also be a sign of cold feet.

Though Joan and Chock have yet to set a wedding date, the fact that they've been shopping for property together suggests chances are good they'll be walking down the aisle in 2025. The Golden Bachelorette couple want to avoid the mistakes made by Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist. The septuagenarian couple got married at the end of The Golden Bachelor season 1, and were divorced within three months. Joan and Chock are taking their time on the road to their happy ending.
