Catherine and Matthew tied the knot at Canada Lodge and Lake

Catherine and Matthew met at The Celtic Manor Resort. "I was a waitress there, and Matt was a trainee manager," explains Catherine. "I was attracted to his smile, and he loved my eyes. We hit it off, and the rest is history.

"Matthew proposed to Catherine where they first met. "He first laid eyes on me in the lobby, so he decided to get down on one knee in the same spot with our family watching," shares the bride. "It was a huge surprise and we couldn't have been happier."

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.
