Taylor & Hart's Blog

If you find yourself still engaged this holiday season and you weren’t supposed to be, this one’s for you. We’re raising a toast to all the extended engagements of 2021. You’ve taught us something important this year and that’s to never, ever give up on love.

Ending 2020 on an unexpectedly high note, Gwen Stefani became engaged to country singer and co-star on The Voice, Blake Shelton. After five years of dating, Blake popped the question during a family trip to Oklahoma. The engagement ring is a platinum princess cut diamond, and it perfectly suits Gwen’s feminine punk style.

Journalist Mignon McLaughlin said that “a successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” To get to the heart of what love becomes over time, we’re starting our new series: Love Through the Ages. We’ll be speaking to couples at every stage of a relationship—from newlyweds to those celebrating a Diamond Anniversary—to get a sense of what true love looks like in all its forms.

It goes without saying, but 2020 has been an unprecedented year. We’re proud to announce our first ever Taylor & Hart Trend Report, complete with in-depth analysis of the last 12 months of jewellery design and our predictions for the future of human connection.

Jonathan Bennett, known for his role as the Aaron Samuels from the iconic film Mean Girls, is engaged to his longtime partner, TV star Jaymes Vaughn. The engagement was perfectly planned by Jaymes, who even took the time to write his love an original song. The engagement came as a complete surprise to Jonathan, who ‘began to ugly cry the ugliest cry anyone has ever cried.’ We can’t help but feel our hearts warming when we see a personal, thoughtful proposal like this one. And the engagement rings were every bit as meaningful.

Given her passion and expertise when it comes to craftsmanship and design, we interviewed Katerina to gain some insight on what the future holds for bespoke jewellery.
