Time for a throwback to one of our favourite
bespoke engagement rings we have ever worked on: J and W's vintage
ring! We love a creative design mixed with vintage style.
The ring
A
marquise cut solitaire diamond ring on a delicate rose gold pavé band. Jayne designed it with our Head Jeweller Karolina after her now husband proposed to her. As she always loved the idea of a second hand/vintage ring, her boyfriend bought her a second hand marquise solitaire that she then wanted to make her own. With Karolina's help she thought of all the elements she wanted for her ring - such as a delicate band and the possibility to have her
wedding band sit under the
engagement ring diamond.
The proposal
W asked J to marry him on her birthday, before they went out for a family dinner to celebrate. She noticed he was very nervous and silent but couldn't figure out why until he proposed!
In Jayne's words
It was a great experience; relaxed and easy. We chose Maya Magal as it was highly recommended from my sister's experience, it was reassuring to go somewhere we knew we could trust. We had to travel to get to London but all communication afterwards was always prompt and very clear, Karolina even kindly sketched the ring for me so I could dream further on what to expect on the end result. I couldn't recommend more, the quality is beautiful and all the timings followed as promised.
