I saw that, it's rather purty. Never heard of Bunda before now though!

I am not loving the profile. The diamond sits too high IMO from what I can tell from the picture you posted. I much prefer our PS vendors halo rings. View from the top down looks pretty though.

They tout themselves as a fairly high end exclusive designer of jewellery. The pieces and diamonds for that matter are uber expensive.

I prefer most of our vendors here. There are a number of Aussies jewellers I like better.

+1 Looks like the setting was not made for that diamond's dimensions. I'll be thrilled if the program decides to tackle the issue of how to say "Yes, I'll marry you. But that ring ... eeeeeeeeeuw! Can it be exchanged?"

Maybe the lucky lady can point him in the direction of the "One in Six Women Disappointed with their Engagement Ring" thread.

I have heard of them, saw them advertised in a Qantas inflight mag once. Sydney based from memory!

They have 3 shops in Sydney apparently. I think I saw the one in the QVB a few months ago;

The bachelor is the nephew of one of my facebook friends

Yep a f/b friend (real friend as well but we moved so I don't see her any more) is related to the bachelor and before the show went on TV she wished him goodluck and the family posted things paying him out but mostly wishing him the best....

I don't watch the show at all so other than noticing they were saying encouraging things to him and that it was her nephew that was it. I saw the promos on TV a few times and mentally went oh that is the guy that is Xs nephew..... I assume they are not allowed to post pics of the girls or who he ends up with until the show finishes.

I have been watching since the beginning. I didn't mean to, but one of the girls at work texted me about it "so many sequins!" during the first ep and I was hooked. I think I love Rosie's re-caps more (on Mamamia) than the show.

I know it's only a few days to wait but I am busting to know who he picks! Any guesses from those who watch? I have always picked Sam (have since the first show) but I am now suspecting that has been a red herring. I didn't watch last year but apparently they led everyone to think he would pick the other girl?

Peanuts!! Did you see the ring George Clooney gave his bride? 7+ cts & 2 baguette side stones. I bet a little more than $53K went down for that one.


Photo was taken in a restaurant so the color isn't true.

That is beautiful and elegant JF, even with the yellow tint.

I'd say Georgie boy's income may be a little more than the Aussie Bachelor tho. I don't think I'd knock back either (rings or bachelors ).

The Yahoo news headlines are saying one of the girls houses was a sham;

Inside goss from one of the girls that came out of the house (my husband apparently talked to one of the girls that was booted out for work or something) is that Louise is the keeper. When he came home and told me that it didn't mean much because I don't watch the show.
