Behind the Design: Julianna & Dom
If there was ever a story about real love that feels as though it was written in the stars, it’s the story of Dom & Julianna’s relationship. Having met as children, they became high school sweethearts and, with fate on their side, recently became engaged. The passion and effort they put into making a life together are also reflected in the heirloom-turned-modern engagement ring they meticulously planned together.
Dom took the diamond and designed a ring that was more aligned with Julianna’s style, while still referencing the original look of her stepmother’s heirloom ring.
The design includes two love knots that are engraved by hand into either side of the solitaire ring’s band. This was a personal touch added by Dom, honouring the love they shared as teenagers.
‘One of the first gifts he ever bought me was an inexpensive little love knot ring that I wore every day. I wore it until the day he proposed,’ said Julianna.
Dom worked over several weeks on the digital 3D design of his ring, making sure all the details were just right before having it cast in metal. ‘It was so incredible to see the initial design and zoom in on the details of the 3D renders’, he recalls of his time working with his consultant.
‘Then, when it was complete, seeing those delicate details when you hold it in your hand was breathtaking. I went to pick up the ring with my closest friends, and we were all very emotional.’
It’s very special to have something that is so personal to me and my family, but also made for my specific style.

The best thing a piece of jewellery can do is truly reflect the spirit and love shared by a couple, and given their inspiring story, Julianna & Dom have achieved just that.
Many congratulations to the blissful couple.
