Behind the Design: Annie & Harry
For Annie & Harry, their love story started when they were both 16 years old and shared a love of Starbucks. After meeting at a friend’s party as teenagers, they got to know each other and ultimately grew up together over lunchtime lattes. Now, after more than a decade as partners, their engagement and marriage are both embodiments of a classic friends-to-lovers movie theme and also highlight their seriously good taste in jewellery.
I worked with Taylor & Hart to redesign elements of the ring, including the flower basket setting and halo, to make sure it was perfect.

The Proposal
The proposal itself was a magical mystery tour of London, a city that’s been their home since university. Harry’s well-thought-out vision included a treasure map and some cryptic clues designed for Annie to crack, like a detective.
He whisked her off to some iconic locations steeped in their shared memories and romance. A picturesque picnic at Battersea Park, a pint on Carnaby Street, taking in the views on the London Eye and even pedalos on the Serpentine.
The day culminated in Hyde Park, at the very spot where they play softball together. As the sun set below the London horizon, Harry proposed, capping off a day of love and adventure.
‘It was perfect,’ Annie recalls with a smile.
We’ve already been on such a journey together and we can’t wait to continue it.

A Future Full of Adventures
Having grown up together, Annie & Harry are no strangers to navigating life hand in hand and discussing their plans over a flat white. Their shared history filled with inside jokes, formative memories and countless adventures formed a rock-solid foundation for their future. As they look ahead, they envision more adventures, big and small.
Cheers to many more coffee dates, softball games and a life full of sparkles.
