And just a few days on, Laura Byrne seems to be comfortable in her position as a victor on the show as she paid out former show contestants Snezana Markoski and Sam Wood.
Taking to Instagram to gush over the $22,000 ring Matty J gave her in the show finale, the 31-year-old jokingly said she was thankful her new piece of jewellery didn’t look ‘like a cheezel.’
Diss? On Sunday, Laura Byrne took to Instagram to gush over her new $22,000 ring and jokingly said she was thankful it didn’t look like Snezana Markovski’s ‘cheezel’ ring
Sam Wood was subjected to online ridicule two years ago after many viewers of his season of The Bachelor likened the ring he gave Snezana to the popular cheese-flavoured snack, Cheezels.
Laura also used her post to gush about boyfriend Matty J.
‘The curse of being a jewellery designer is that no on ever gives me jewellery, which sucks because it’s one of my favourite things in the whole world,’ she wrote in the caption.
‘@matthredavidjohnson is the first man brave enough to give this girl a taste of her own medicine and I’m so completely in love with my ring.’
‘Thanks for making it so wonderful @larsenjewellery thank goodness it didn’t end up looking like a cheezel **jokes**’ continued Laura.
Feeling blessed: ‘@matthredavidjohnson is the first man brave enough to give this girl a taste of her own medicine and I’m so completely in love with my ring’

Sam also added the humorous hashtag ‘#BringBackTheCheezel.’

The slew of online ridicule and memes aimed at him inspired Sam to opt for a more sophisticated sparkler when he proposed to his lady love late last year.
Ensuring not to follow in Sam’s footsteps, Matty designed Laura’s ring with an 18-carat white gold band and a stunning 1.30 carat oval centre diamond, which was GIA certified F colour and VS2 clarity.
There are also 32 diamonds set into the shoulders of the ring, totaling 0.32ct.
Speaking about the design process, Larsen senior jeweller Kate Reid told Daily Mail: ‘Myself and the team of Larsen Jewellery jewellers worked closely with Matty to design and custom make the perfect ring.’
