The Bachelorette star Clare Crawley has been spotted with a huge diamond ring on her left hand, a noticeably different ring than the one she previously wore to signify "self-love."

In the photos obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Clare was wearing a hoodie with black yoga pants, a pink tank top and her hair up in a loose bun.
ET zoomed up on Clare's hand in one photo in particular as she gripped a shopping cart, and it's pretty clear there is a huge diamond on her finger that may even boast tiny diamonds around it on the band.
It's possible Clare may be making a rebellious statement considering her pal DeAnna Pappas, who starred on The Bachelorette's fourth season, claimed on The Ben and Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast that Clare is upset by the way producers have edited her to look on the show's currently-airing sixteenth season.
Clare wearing her engagement ring from Dale would go against her contractual obligations to avoid spoilers about the current status of her relationship before The Bachelorette airs the ending of her journey to find love on ABC.
Clare was spotted with this big diamond ring just one week after she referred to Dale as her "fiance" on The Bachelorette when speaking with a producer behind-the-scenes, when Clare assumed she wasn't being filmed.
Fans questioned whether Clare was wearing an engagement ring back in late October amid reports she's now engaged to her The Bachelorette frontrunner Dale Moss, but she addressed the speculation in an Instagram post.

Clare uploaded a video at the time of herself flashing a band comprised of small diamonds that did not have a large stone in the middle.
"People have noticed I wear this ring on my wedding finger, and have asked why! The truth is because it is a commitment to myself first and foremost, to embody self-love," Clare captioned the image.
"In the past I found myself getting into relationships where there was little to no reciprocity, and in the end would feel depleted and empty."

"This is my promise to myself, to make sure I always had enough self love that no matter what happened, I was committed to loving myself unconditionally, and that is something no man could take away from me. @missdiamondring," Clare wrote.
The Bachelorette's official Instagram page recently posted a teaser video of the upcoming Thursday, November 5 episode and showed host Chris Harrison telling the men they had been "cheated" out of finding love before Clare's replacement pulled up to The Bachelorette resort in a limo.
It's been widely reported Clare quit the The Bachelorette 12 days into filming because she fell in love with Dale and wanted to pursue a real relationship with him instead of continuing to date other men and then Tayshia Adams replaced her.

However, Clare has recently "liked" tweets suggesting production forced her off the show, and Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone also believes it wasn't Clare's decision to leave early. (Harrison has denied these claims, saying Clare had "complete control" over her season and was "certainly not" bumped out of her role).
ABC teased Tayshia's upcoming stint on The Bachelorette when she made a brief appearance at the conclusion of The Bachelorette's October 27 episode when she stepped out of a pool in a sexy bikini.
Tayshia vaguely mentioned her The Bachelorette appearance on an episode of her new Click Bait podcast with Hannah Ann Sluss and Joe Amabile that aired late last week.

She joked, "I was just told to swim in a pool!... All I know is that I love Palm Springs, I love La Quinta, I vacation there, it's summer, it's hot, and there was a pool. I was just swimming around; I don't know what you're referring to."
