Custom-Designed, Vintage-Inspired Engagement Ring

After four years of dating, three of which were spent doing long-distance, Mark proposed at their home on Valentine’s Day. “It was a total shock for me because we never do anything for Valentine’s Day,” says Deepa. “We were at home making pizzas and relaxing, then Mark popped the question! I really only wear gold and definitely wanted a gold engagement ring with antique detailing, so that it would have a more Indian feel. Mark had a gorgeous hand-cut, old-European diamond in his family and he designed the setting.”
