💞How and where did you first meet? And how long have you been together?

Nicky and I first met in September 2011 at School where we were in Sixth Form together, and we have been together since March 2012.

📅And how did you propose?

I proposed in Portugal, where we have been going on holiday to together for the last 10 years.

😎What was your inspiration behind the design, why choose the styles?

Having been together for so long I really wanted to get something unique and special. Nicky had shown an interest in a thin band due to her hand size and the idea of a trilogy ring. Having spent a long time looking for the right ring and after speaking with some of her closest friends and Alicja, at Holts, I felt this design best suited all of her wishes and provided something really unique.

💍Is this your first bespoke piece, and how did you find the process?

This is my first bespoke piece, and the process has been amazing. From the first email, to the design meeting, drawings, general updates and collection, everyone I have spoken to has been so helpful.

👀What was your favourite part of the process?

The design meeting. Coming into the office and being guided through the four ‘C’s as I was shown different gems and how they would fit together and compliment each other in the design I was looking for.

🤔What would be your one piece of advice for couples looking for an engagement ring?

Take the time to find someone who is going to be enthusiastic and help guide you through the process.
