What Happens to ‘Love Is Blind’ Engagement Rings When Couples Split Up? Here’s What They’re Worth

We’ve reached a crucial point in Love Is Blind Season 11: multiple couples are about to walk down the aisle and either (1) get married, or (2) break up in front of all their friends and family. And if they choose option two, there’s a big decision to make before they formally part ways: who gets to keep the engagement ring?Production pays for the show’s fleet of sparkly rings, and couples aren’t required to return them if their engagements/marriages don’t work out. Considering these are diamonds (...we think?) worth thousands of dollars, you can see why the ring might cause drama. After all, whoever gets to keep it also gets to sell it and pocket a chunk of cash!As creator Chris Coelen put it to Entertainment Weekly, “We supply them with the rings, and at that point, those rings are theirs. They never have to give them back if things don't work out. They're their rings.”NetflixChris confirmed that they cost somewhere between $3,500 and $5,000. Not nothing! Like, if you need quick cash and there’s a pawn shop in your town, that! is! very! helpful!Naturally, there’s been acrimony in the past about who keeps the ring, specifically with season 9 stars Patrick Suzuki and Kacie McIntosh. Patrick asked for the ring back (interesting, since he didn’t buy it...), Kacie refused, and Patrick then told EW, “I didn't want the ring back, it wasn't about the ring. I just wanted to ask her a simple question. And then she basically said a bunch of stuff about how I told her that she could keep the ring, and she told me that I was making it about the ring, and then I was like, ‘I'm not making it about the ring. I just want to be cool.’ And then she never texted me back.”Meanwhile, season 4 star Marshall Glaze asked Jackelina Bond for her ring back (she also refused), and it became a whole thing that ended in this TikTok:Love Is Blind producers could, of course, prevent all this drama by just asking that post-breakup rings are returned, but please. They’re trying to make an entertaining TV show here!
