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 hasn’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.
