An
engagement
is
a
very
special
occasion,
and
for
that
reason
I
wanted
a
ring
from
a
jeweller
that
didn't
operate
up
and
down
the
country.
I
also
wanted
one
that
specialised
in
designing
and
making
bespoke
jewellery.
I
chose
Taylot
&
Hart
for
these
reasons,
and
the
unique
signature
stones
on
the
inside
of
the
band.
The
fact
that
they
are
based
in
London,
a
place
that
my
partner
and
I
love
visiting,
is
also
a
bonus.
I
gave
my
design
brief
and
sketches
to
one
of
their
Jewellery
Designers,
who
promptly
got
back
to
me
to
start
the
consultation
process.
My
design
brief
was
very
specific,
involving
an
almost
floating
diamond
with
graceful
twists
holding
it
in
place,
minimal
supports,
channel
set
diamonds
under
the
main
setting,
and
stones
on
the
inside
representing
birthstones
of
our
kids,
uniting
our
families
together.
One
phone
call
and
a
few
days
later,
a
design
was
presented
which
wasn't
quite
what
I
had
in
mind,
but
they
explained
all
of
the
limitations
and
constraints.
With
that,
we
went
back
and
forth
a
few
times
and
settled
on
the
design
that
was
ultimately
made.
I
was
kept
informed
on
progress
every
step
of
the
way,
and
I'd
love
to
say
it
went
flawlessly,
but
unfortunately
there
were
a
couple
of
sizeable
mishaps
along
the
way
resulting
in
deadlines
being
missed.
However,
the
way
they
handled
things
and
the
contingencies
they
put
in
place
for
me
are
to
be
admired,
going
above-and-beyond
to
make
sure
our
big
day
was
perfect,
and
that
the
final
ring
was
perfect...and
it
was.
This
is
the
difference
I
feel
a
smaller
operation
makes
compared
to
the
high
street.
The
packaging,
hand-written
card,
customer
service
and
overall
experience
was
very
special,
and
while
things
didn't
all
go
to
plan,
it
all
just
adds
to
our
unique
story.
For
me,
that
story
and
the
personal
meaning
of
every
element
making
up
the
ring
is
far
more
important
than
the
ring
itself.
Will
not
hesitate
to
go
back
there
for
our
wedding
bands
