'Bachelor' Vienna: 'My ring is breathtaking'

ABC

Bachelor contestant Vienna Girardi has described her engagement ring from Jake Pavelka as "breathtaking".

The 31-year-old airline pilot from Dallas, TX popped the question to Girardi with a 2.72 carat diamond and platinum princess-cut ring during last night's season finale of the ABC romance reality show.

Speaking to Digital Spy, she said: "Honestly, I didn't even look at the ring when he was proposing!

"I was so nervous and trying to focus on not passing out, so I didn't even look at it until it was on my finger!"

She added: "It's breathtaking, and it means so much to me because it's almost identical to the ring that I wore which my dad gave me. It meant so much - it's a gorgeous ring and the thought that he really put into it meant the most."

Girardi's engagement band was designed by celebrity jeweller Neil Lane and is reportedly worth $42,000.

The Bachelor airs on ABC.
