Chelsea and Huw tied the knot in a romantic ceremony at Llanerch Vineyard

Chelsea and Huw met in the most unexpected way. “We were in Tesco car park when he accidentally knocked my wing mirror while reversing out of the space next to me,” says Chelsea. “He waited until I returned to my car to make sure there was no damage. For his sake, luckily there wasn’t, but he gave me his number just in case, and the rest is history.”

Huw proposed on his birthday in 2019. “We went to Edinburgh on a midweek break to celebrate as Huw is a huge scotch and whisky lover,” shares the bride. “He managed to hide the ring in a pair of socks in his hand luggage. On the second day, we had a tour of Edinburgh Castle booked and while we were at the very top, enjoying the view, he tried to get down on one knee. As I’m quite shy I asked him to get up as there was a huge group of students passing by! Two minutes later, the castle cannon was fired, and it felt as though it was meant for us. I was sort of expecting a proposal but never thought he would do it on his birthday! He told me I was the best birthday present he could have ever wished for.”

Women want a personal engagement ring not an expensive one

New research suggests a shift in how women approach one of the most traditional luxury jewellery purchases, with 75% saying they want an engagement ring to prioritise personal meaning over size or value. A study of 1,353 UK women carried out by 77 Diamonds* found that 75% say they would prioritise a personalised engagement ring over a larger or more expensive diamond. What seems to stand out is not a complete rejection of convention, but rather a rebalancing and reassessment of value. 59% of women say their preference still leans towards traditional ready-made ring designs, and only 11% want an entirely custom-made piece But the emotional drive behind preferences and purchasing decisions does appear to be changing with 30% expressing a desire for rings that carry additional meaning through small modifications, engravings or design adjustments.
