According to The Diamond Bank in Los Angeles, the center stone is large enough to warrant that high price.
‘There is a large emerald-cut center stone with two generous tapered diamond baguettes on each side,’ said a spokesperson.
‘That adds up to a lot of carats and a high price,’ it was added.
Vassos flashed the ring after Chapple – they are both 61 – got down on one knee and popped the question on the beach in Bora Bora. She said yes then they both said ‘I love you’ several times.
The couple will also be moving to New York City after he promised her during the finale they could relocate.

They are set to celebrate their relationship with a big engagement party in Los Angeles before heading to the East Coast.
‘It’s gonna be bigger than most weddings,’ Chock told Us Weekly of the party in the couple’s first interview .
‘We’ve got friends coming in from around the country, and it’s kind of our coming-out party as a couple. We’re extremely excited about that.’
They soon will be apartment hunting in New York City, the site added.
Vassos, who is from Maryland, had narrowed the 24 contestants down to two – Chock and Guy Gansert, 66, heading into the finale.

She had promised herself that she would never say ‘I love you’ until the end of her journey, which happened on the finale.
She was slated to have final dates with both Chock and Guy, both of whom would meet her son and daughter, along with their significant others.
That didn’t happen, though, with Joan making up her mind after the first date… leaving the other finalist heartbroken.
She ultimately chose Chock after his final date with her, telling Guy the next day that her, ‘heart belonged to someone else.’
