Ben & Charlee
Pear Shape Diamond Engagement Ring With Granulation Wedding Band
A Special, Collaborative Process
What set Ben’s experience apart was how deeply involved he was in the entire design process. Unlike the typical engagement ring purchase, where the decision is often made without much personal involvement, Ben was actively engaged every step of the way. Daisy worked closely with him, guiding him through the design choices and ensuring that every aspect of the ring was exactly as he envisioned.
Daisy’s approach to bespoke jewellery design is highly personal and collaborative. She presented Ben with multiple sketches and design ideas for his approval, listening carefully to his thoughts and preferences along the way. The process felt organic and enjoyable for Ben, who appreciated the opportunity to play such an active role in creating a meaningful piece for Charlee. Daisy’s clear communication and warm, welcoming approach made the entire journey feel both comfortable and exciting. For Ben, it wasn’t just about designing a ring—it was about crafting something special that would be a lasting symbol of his commitment to Charlee.
The Ring: A Timeless and Personal Design
Together, they designed a stunning pear-shaped diamond solitaire engagement ring, set with a champagne ocean diamond. The choice of the champagne ocean diamond was particularly meaningful—it radiates warmth and depth, reflecting Charlee’s elegant style while offering a modern twist on a classic solitaire. The yellow gold band provided a perfect contrast to the soft, golden hues of the diamond, and the detailed granulation added a unique and intricate touch, showcasing Daisy’s mastery of ancient techniques.
Granulation, where tiny beads of gold are carefully applied to create a textured finish, gave the ring an added layer of artistry and craftsmanship, making it a one-of-a-kind piece. Ben loved how this delicate detail, combined with the stunning diamond, made the ring feel both timeless and personal. It was something Charlee would wear every day, and Ben wanted it to be as special and unique as their relationship.
Creating the Wedding Bands Together
The design process didn’t stop with the engagement ring. After Charlee said “yes,” Ben and Charlee returned to Tide & Trove to work with Daisy on their wedding bands. Once again, Daisy made sure the experience was as personal as possible, guiding them through the design choices and ensuring that their wedding bands complemented the engagement ring beautifully.

For Ben, the journey of designing Charlee’s engagement ring was incredibly special—not only because of the beautiful end result, but because of the personal experience and involvement every step of the way. The process allowed him to feel connected to the piece, and ultimately to Charlee’s joy in wearing it. The bespoke experience at Tide & Trove is about creating more than just jewellery—it’s about creating lasting memories and a piece that tells a unique, personal story.
