A Sunflower Surprise: Richard’s Bespoke Engagement Ring for Rebecca

There’s something truly magical about creating a piece of jewellery that tells a story before it’s even worn - and Richard’s bespoke engagement ring for Rebecca is a perfect example. From the very first conversation, it was clear that this wasn’t just about a beautiful ring, but a design that reflected personality, sentiment, and style - while remaining a complete surprise for the lucky recipient.

Richard shared his inspiration with us:

"The unique style of it is just wonderful, and the positioning of the stones on the band works really well"

Every aspect of the ring was thoughtfully designed to reflect Rebecca’s style. Richard drew inspiration from Millie Savage’s aesthetic, which naturally aligns with my own design style, featuring that signature organic flow and textured elegance. Even as a complete surprise, the careful placement of eachstone and the graceful lines of the band ensured the final piece felt both distinctive and timeless.

Richard also wanted the ring to hold a special, personal meaning. He chose a yellow citrine to reference Rebecca’s favourite flower, the sunflower:

"Yes - the yellow citrine is a link to Rebecca's favourite flower. I wanted that yellow to be central to the design."

This thoughtful detail ensured that the ring wasn’t just beautiful - it was personal, symbolic, and uniquely Rebecca.

The bespoke process with Richard was simple and seamless:

"Really good communication between us both, and regular updates were sent throughout the ring’s build."

It’s always my goal to make the bespoke experience smooth, enjoyable, and collaborative (even when the final wearer has no idea!)

The result? A stunning engagement ring that perfectly balances quirkiness, style, and sentiment.

A Magical Moment in Scotland

The proposal itself was as thoughtful and memorable as the ring. Richard chose the stunning setting of Loch Voil, just northeast of Loch Lomond, to pop the question. Hidden away by a little waterfall and stream, it was a truly intimate and magical moment—an idyllic backdrop that perfectly complemented the thoughtfulness of the bespoke ring. It’s a reminder that the story behind a ring can be just as special as the piece itself.

A Word for Future Daint Couples

"I would recommend anyone to work with DAINT Jewellery. I am over the moon with how the ring design came out. My now fiancé is in love with the design."

Creating bespoke jewellery is about more than craft - it’s about storytelling, collaboration, and capturing the heart of a moment. This ring is a shining example, a piece that will be treasured forever and a memory that began even before it was placed on Rebecca’s hand.

Whether you’re planning a surprise engagement or dreaming of a nature-inspired design like Rebecca’s sunflower ring, Kim would love to help you bring your story to life through a timeless, bespoke piece.
