Some of the best surprises are the ones that take you completely off guard. For Lola, what she thought was a last-minute weekend away to Wales turned out to be the moment Owen would propose. As an active couple who love the outdoors, a peaceful hike in the quiet Welsh woods was the perfect backdrop for a memory they will cherish forever.
Lola’s family connection is incredibly important to her, a bond Owen saw firsthand after becoming part of their warm and loving family. With that in mind, Owen knew the only ring for Lola was the one she had always wanted: her great-grandmother’s five-stone Victorian ring.
The ring had carried a century of wear and was missing a diamond, but to Lola, its beauty was in its sentimental value. When Owen brought it to us, he was understandably nervous about entrusting such a treasured heirloom to someone else. We worked with him every step of the way, ensuring he understood the process and felt confident that we would care for this precious family piece.
We carefully refurbished the heirloom ring, replacing the missing diamond with a lab grown diamond chosen to blend in seamlessly with the original stones. When Lola saw it, she was amazed. It was the ring she had always loved, but it had been given a new life. The diamonds sparkled again and the gold shone, ready to live its next chapter on her hand.
