Our Engagement!

I have been waiting a long while to write this post as I was waiting on photo's to be sent from Vincent who made my ring.  He took photo's of the ring in making.  However, I was disappointed with his photos as they are not quite what I expected them to be. 

The proposal: Nath proposed on our last night in Santorini.  The sun was setting over the Caldera and we were drinking a bottle of wine enjoying the view from our private balcony when he popped the question.  To celebrate we finished our bottle of wine and went out for a lovely alfresco dinner. 

So far we have no wedding plans.  It is likely we will get married in New Zealand, but I do love the idea of getting married on a Greek Island!

 

 

The ring: we got the ring hand made at The Diamond Shop in Hatton Garden.  We met Vincent and discussed with him the style that we wanted and our price range.  Vincent then ordered in diamonds that met our criteria and Nath and I had a meeting with Vincent to choose the exact diamond we wanted in the ring.  I narrowed it down to 3 diamonds and left Nath to make the final decision and sort out the nitty gritty details with Vincent. The ring is beautiful - it is so shimmery and it just isn't done justice in the photos!
