Behind the Design: Jess & Mitch

How They Met

Their story began on Tinder. Mitch, then a professional footballer, and Jess, who had just embarked on her PR career in London, connected through the dating app in true 2016 fashion.

Though they didn’t officially start dating until a year later, this serendipitous match marked the start of their relationship goals.

Like PR, jewellery often tells a dazzling story that celebrates the best parts of life. For this fabulous couple, the design of their engagement and wedding rings became a reflection of their very own brand of love. A journey that began with a swipe right and blossomed into a multi season-spanning partnership.

A Perfect Moment

Fast forward to July 2022, and the bellissmo Amalfi Coast became the backdrop to their engagement. The proposal itself wasn’t a surprise as the ring had been carefully designed beforehand by both Jess & Mitch, showcasing how important teamwork is to them.

And when it came to the big moment, the setting was nothing short of magical. The couple was on a boat under a golden sunset as Mitch proposed. This unforgettable moment sealed their love in a snapshot they would cherish forever.

In true romantic comedy fashion, their celebratory dinner plans took an unexpected turn. With no reservations in the rather popular Positano, they ended the evening sharing hot dogs and chips on a bench in Sorrento. This was a charming reminder that love is about the moments, not the details.

Mitch had planned the entire trip, so it was certainly full of surprises.

A Unique Engagement Ring

When it came to Jess’s engagement ring, the giddy bride-to-be knew exactly what she wanted. A gold teardrop cut design that stood out and told its very own story.

The inspiration came from a similar design on the Taylor & Hart website that she customised to complete her vision. What made it special wasn’t just the shape, but all the little modifications that going bespoke allows. A collaborative approach with her partner in crime, plus a lot of pep talks from the consultant are what brought it home.

To Jess, it wasn’t simply a ring. It was a reflection of their shared journey a promise for a loving future together.

The addition of the ruby Signature Stone added even more meaning, symbolising their July engagement and connecting a personal story of their own to her magical ring.

I really wanted something unique. Something that could be special to me. Something Wow.

The Wedding Ring

Continuing the theme of picking something distinct and one-of-a-kind, the wedding ring design process was a game of two halves

The challenge was to create a wedding band that highlighted Jess’s intricate engagement ring details, but that also felt like it was part of a perfectly curated pair.

With the help of a dedicated consultant, they crafted a lovely wedding ring that traced the outer design of the engagement ring, ensuring a seamless fit and spectacular wedding suite.

The end result was a wedding ring in a league of its own. It not only looked wonderful and fit perfectly but also highlighted the artistry and personality that went into its creation.

All in the Details

Each ring’s Signature Stone carries sentimental value. Jess’s engagement ring features a ruby, celebrating their July engagement. For the wedding ring, a blue sapphire was chosen to honour their September wedding.

These thoughtful gemstone choices tie these significant milestones of their relationship to the jewellery, making the rings more than just accessories. They’re a huge part of their story.

Both rings also feature personalised engravings, adding even more of their own flavour. These subtle details turn the rings into something they’ll love to gaze at and remember that they’ve both found a keeper.

What’s Next?

As Jess & Mitch look ahead, the couple is excited about kicking off the next chapter. Their dream mood board includes starting a family, building their ideal home and ticking off some of their travel bucket list destinations.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
