Sometimes, the most beautiful beginnings blossom in the most unexpected places. For Monique and James, their love story began amidst the creative energy of a pottery class. From shared moments over spinning wheels to a heartfelt proposal during a glazing session, their journey is as unique and handcrafted as the art they create.

 Today, we're delighted to share Monique's experience of finding 'the one' and the equally special journey of designing her engagement ring with our team at Morgan & Co, a process that proved even more meaningful than she could have imagined.

Q — How did you and your fiancé meet?

Monique — "I was teaching a pottery class and James came along as one of the students. We started chatting during the session and found we had a lot in common. The conversation just flowed, and we really enjoyed each other’s company."

Q — Tell us a little bit about your proposal.

Monique — "James booked into one of my pottery classes — bringing things full circle to where we first met. Just before the class started, we were glazing some pieces together when he proposed. It was such a thoughtful and meaningful moment, and it couldn’t have been more us."

Q — How did you feel when you saw your ring for the first time?

Monique — "I felt a bit emotional, to be honest. It was so beautiful, but more than that, it really meant something — it was a symbol of our relationship and everything we’ve shared. It felt really special to wear."

Q — Tell us about your ring and the journey of creating it.

Monique — "I wasn’t sure what I wanted at all — I’ve never been much of a jewellery person and had no idea where to start. But the team at Morgan & Co made the whole process really easy. They explained everything clearly and helped me figure out what suited me and what I actually liked. In the end, we went with a marquise diamond on a yellow gold band — something I might never have picked on my own, but I absolutely love it. It feels so personal and really suits me."

Q —  How did you and your partner find the experience with Morgan & Co?

Monique — "We had such a great experience with Morgan & Co. Morgan and Laura were friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel really easy and enjoyable. We felt listened to and supported the whole way through, and the end result was something truly special."

Monique and James's story beautifully illustrates how the journey of creating a custom engagement ring can be just as significant as the sparkling symbol itself. For someone who initially felt unsure about jewellery, Monique's experience with Morgan & Co highlights the importance of guidance, understanding, and a collaborative approach in crafting a piece that truly resonates. Their story, born from a shared passion and culminating in a perfectly personal ring, is a testament to the power of connection – both in love and in creation. We were honoured to be a part of their story and wish them a lifetime of happiness together.

With Love,
Morgan & Laura x
