Bachelor in Paradise stars Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer got engaged this week.
The reality TV stars shared the happy news on their Instagram accounts on Wednesday. The proposal took place at sunset on the beach in La Jolla, San Diego, on Tuesday.
Erb, 28, got down on one knee and presented Heringer with a ring from Keyzar Jewelry while on the deck of a house.
The cost was surprisingly affordable: The gem retails for $15,500.
It was a beautiful four-carat oval lab-grown diamond engagement ring with a pavé-set band and hidden halo.
Lab-grown diamonds are sometimes referred to as man-made or created diamonds because they are produced in a lab.

Lab-grown diamonds are physically identical to mined diamonds. The only difference between the two is the starting point. They share an identical growth process as mined diamonds.
They first form as carbon atoms under high temperature and immense pressure, then bond together to grow a crystalline lattice structure.
Once fully formed, they are cut and polished to reveal maximum brilliance. Like mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds come in a variety of color and clarity grades.
The 14k white gold Pave Kamellie ring Erb, designed using Keyzar’s custom jewelry tool, retails for $15,500.
Keyzar’s personalized jewelry tool allows shoppers to create the engagement ring they’ve always envisioned.
An extensive digital catalog of engagement ring settings and stone shape and quality is available to view in 360 degrees and try on virtually.
Stone options range from conflict-free natural and lab-created diamonds to Moissanite alternatives, suitable for all budgets. Each ring build takes 10-15 business days to complete. And the ring comes with a free appraisal and a lifetime warranty.
Heringer shared in a caption, “I’ve loved you for three summers now, baby, and I want them all.”
She wore a white off-the-shoulder crop top with white lined slacks and he wore casual clothes as they hugged and kissed after she accepted his proposal. The photo shoot was by Hannah Brooke.
Determined to be married: The proposal took place on Tuesday at sunset on the beach in La Jolla, San Diego
They met on season seven of Bachelor in Paradise, which premiered in August 2021. Erb was on season 16 of The Bachelorette, while Heringer was on season 25 of The Bachelor.
Noah spoke with People about the proposal.
“It was amazing and just what she was hoping for!” he tells PEOPLE. ‘Our friends Hannah Sinclair and Emma Burke (photographer and videographer) helped us capture this special moment!’
The proposal was actually ‘moved forward a month’.
That’s because Heringer had decided to schedule their move to Oklahoma earlier than originally planned.
“I called her parents a few days before to let them know of my plans,” Erb shared with the site
‘Thomas (Jacobs) helped me arrange and set up everything. The proposal was perfect and everything I wanted to include to make it special and ours.’
Heringer – who is deaf with a cochlear implant – suspected nothing.

“She thought I was playing pickleball with Thomas and invited her and Becca (Kufrin) to join us for a sunset at his friend’s house,” he told the site.
“She had no idea about the engagement until we climbed the stairs to the roof and saw the roses and candles overlooking the ocean.”
He added, “Once she saw the roses as she was walking up the stairs, she got emotional. She immediately cried when she saw the roses and we were both emotional during my speech as we watched the sunset.”
He then said, “It couldn’t have turned out better than it did and I couldn’t be more grateful to Keyzar and my friends for helping put it together.”
Erb works as a travel nurse.
Heringer is the client’s financial manager.
