Some love stories begin with a grand introduction. Others begin much closer to home.
For Pat and Ruby, it began with the boy next door.
After nearly ten years together, Pat asked Ruby to marry him beside the ocean at sunset, with a custom engagement ring carrying more than sparkle. It carried family, history, and a whole lot of love.
The Proposal
Set against the soft light of a coastal sunset, Pat's proposal was intimate, thoughtful, and completely their own.
There was no need for a grand spectacle. Just the two of them, the sound of the waves, and a moment that had been almost a decade in the making.
It was the kind of proposal that feels beautifully simple from the outside, but means everything to the two people inside it.
The Engagement Ring
Ruby's ring carries a deeply sentimental family connection.
Pat had a treasured family ring redesigned into a new engagement ring, centred around a beautiful oval diamond. The result is a piece that feels timeless, refined, and entirely personal.
Set in warm gold, the ring honours the past while becoming part of Pat and Ruby's future.
This is what makes custom design so special. It allows a piece with history to be reimagined with care, transforming something already meaningful into a new chapter of a family's story.
A Custom Design With Meaning
At My Jewellery Shop, custom design is never just about creating something new. It is about listening closely, understanding the emotion behind the piece, and crafting jewellery that feels personal from every angle.
Pat and Ruby's ring is a beautiful example of that process. A sentimental family piece was thoughtfully redesigned into an engagement ring made for Ruby, while still carrying the history and love it came from.
The result is not only a ring for a proposal. It is an heirloom, reborn.
Their Forever
And now, Ruby gets to marry the boy next door.
From a love story nearly ten years in the making to a custom ring filled with family history, Pat and Ruby's story is one of sentiment, craftsmanship, and coming home to the person who was there all along.
Congratulations Pat and Ruby. We are so honoured to have played a small part in your forever.
