“I live in a magical world of design,” the famed celebrity jewelry designer tells PEOPLE of where he finds his inspiration. This time around, he said he looked to antiques and Roman jewelry.

It also had an additional 25 “hidden” hand-polished diamonds on the ring’s arch to complement the “gloriousness” of the main gemstone and showcase his “signature” sparkle. The 26 diamonds put the ring at 3.25 carats.

Jenn’s “elegance” can be found in the ring’s design too, as it’s a quality of hers that struck Lane the most. “When I met her, she was so gentle, very pretty, and I just thought there was an elegance to her that I had to also incorporate.”

The million-dollar question now is: Where did the ring go? All Lane can say is that it went to “ring heaven.”

In working with both theBachelorandBachelorettestars, Lane has seen couples live their happily ever afters and others move on to find romance elsewhere in their lives. At the end of the day, he remains hopeful about love.

“People are breaking up, people are meeting, people are getting disappointed, they’re getting engaged, they’re getting unengaged,” he says. “In my years of doing this show, I’ve seen a lot of happy couples. There’s some wonderful couples. What do I feel the people that don’t make it, if you look back, a lot of them find their person after a few years.”

And nothing can compete with the feeling he gets when he sees his bespoke pieces come to life on his clients. “When I see the joy on their faces wearing these rings, it just heightens it for me,” he says.
