Rebecca proposed… to herself. Here’s why it’s the best thing ever.
The most powerful commitment you can make is to yourself. For Rebecca, that meant transforming her old engagement and wedding rings into a reminder that true, deep, unwavering love starts within.
Rebecca recently closed an important chapter in her life, and with it, her wedding and engagement rings were no longer part of her story. But rather than letting them collect dust in a drawer, she chose to transform them.
With diamonds from her old wedding ring, a bold Australian sapphire and the birthstones of her children, we created something entirely new – a colourful, statement-making ring that tells Rebecca’s story of resilience, renewal and most importantly, self-love.
How Rebecca said "yes" to herself with a custom ring redesign
When Rebecca received her ring, she was ecstatic. This special piece, crafted as a symbol of freedom and family, honoured a promise to celebrate her own strength and how far she had come.
“I took the ring out on a date today to ‘propose’ to myself 😂,” Rebecca texted.
“This ring is a symbol of my commitment to myself – to love myself unconditionally and to accept love again in my life.
So over champagne, a favourite meal and a walk along the beach, I read a letter to myself and dated my new ring 😂🥰
And it’s beautiful! So gorgeous! I had a little gasp when I opened the box!!
Thank you for creating this beauty for me from simple etchings and ideas in my head. This is very special to me, and thank you for being part of the process.
Lots of love, Ring and Me xx”
A love story that starts with you
There’s something undeniably powerful about this moment: A proposal as a declaration of self-worth and a vow to embrace love on her own terms.
As engagement ring jewellers, we’re honoured to play a part in all types of proposals, from grand gestures to quiet, memorable moments.
But what we don’t see enough of (and we’re guilty of it ourselves) is a commitment to honouring our own personal journeys.
If we've learned one thing from Rebecca's story, it's this: When celebrating love, don’t overlook the most important kind - the love you have for yourself.
Do you have a jewellery story to rewrite?
Rebecca’s story is a reminder that jewellery isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about story.
Choose yourself. Embrace new beginnings. And mark moments that matter.
If you have a piece sitting in a drawer - an old engagement ring, a family heirloom or a sentimental ring that no longer fits your story - maybe it’s time for a transformation. We reimagine old jewellery into custom freedom rings, modern heirlooms and divorce rings that feel like who you are today - not who you were a decade ago.
Book a call to create a piece that celebrates you - the most important love story you’ll ever have.
