A gentleman planning a surprise proposal came to ith to search for an engagement ring.
He wanted a design that would express his personal touch, something that would feel unique and reflective of his own thoughts. He came to ith to explore custom-made options.
"I want to cherish the process of choosing the ring,” said the gentleman.
Allow me to share the story of his truly wonderful journey in selecting the perfect engagement ring.
Refined, Classic, and Delicate Design
For the gentleman, the classic image of an engagement ring was "a simple design with a single diamond."
Because of this, he initially wanted to avoid the traditional style and expressed a desire for a more elaborate ring adorned with melee diamonds or one with a uniquely distinctive design.
However, the design that ultimately captivated him the most was "Hanamizuki."
Despite initially avoiding the traditional style, he chose a simple ring featuring a single diamond.
The refined beauty of the solitaire design, symbolizing the commitment of engagement, resonated deeply with him. "I guess there's something truly special about the classics," he said with heartfelt appreciation—a moment that left a lasting impression.
The design was carefully crafted to allow the diamond’s brilliance to shine through. The ring’s delicate band and prongs, although thin, were designed using a special forging technique to ensure strength as well.
After careful consideration of the design and color that would suit his partner, he arrived at a ring that was truly unique.
The Choice of Diamond: A Symbol of Commitment
Next came the selection of the centerpiece gemstone for the engagement ring.
Initially, he expressed a desire to incorporate individuality and meaning into the choice of the gem, such as using her birthstone or a diamond with a "rose cut."
The "rose cut" diamond, with its distinctive character, also held a unique charm as a classical cutting technique steeped in history.
However, as he explored further, he was increasingly drawn to the brilliant cut, which maximizes sparkle and radiance of the diamond.
"An engagement ring symbolizes my commitment and feelings, so I want to choose something that truly shines and carries weight," he shared as his preference evolved.
When comparing natural diamonds, he was deeply impressed by the "5EX (Excellent) Cut," a testament to skilled artisans who have honed their craft and refined their techniques over generations.
He was particularly drawn to a 0.29-carat diamond, matching the birth date of his fiancée, and decided, “This is the one I want to give her.”
Delivery and First Meeting with the Fiancée
After the ring was completed, it was delivered to him, and a few days later, his fiancée came to the atelier for resizing.
It was then that the couple shared the special moment with their family, and we were told that her father was moved to tears with joy. It was a moment of great happiness and emotion.
The flower language of the Hanamizuki flower is "to receive feelings."
We are delighted that this one-of-a-kind, heartfelt ring will connect them in the years to come, serving as a special symbol of their love.
