Congratulations to Mark and Tiffany who just got engaged today at the Linhardt Gallery! To make it even better, we completely surprised Tiffany, who I had met with a few weeks earlier for a wedding ring consultation. Little did she know that Mark was actually planning to surprise her with a custom Linhardt engagement ring, and I was only meant to pick her brain and get a feel for her taste in jewelry. Mark wound up going with a beautiful Emerald-cut dark green Colombian emerald that we set in a custom vintage-looking-yet-modern 18k rose gold setting...

We planned it so that Tiffany would be passing by the gallery on her way to dinner and they would both stop in to simply say hi to me. The ring was strategically planted in one of the cases - and it immediately caught Tiffany's attention. She had asked to see the ring and was extremely disappointed to learn it had a "sold" tag on it, as she expressed how beautiful it was and how she would want something just like this ring in the future. Tiffany went on to talk about the ring a bit more and didn't realize at this point Mark was already on his knee ready to pop the question. When she glanced over to Mark, it took some time before it really clicked what was going on. I can't describe that moment.... a picture is worth a thousand words!!!! What an amazing moment to witness! Congratulations to Tifffany and Mark on their engagement and high five to Mark for pulling it all together without a hitch! What an honor for you to have chosen the Linhardt gallery for such a special moment!!!! Thank you!!!!!
