Brian Gavin’s 3 Stone Princess Cut Trellis Engagement Ring for Soldier Deployed to the Middle East…

In June we received an e-mail from a soldier who was deployed to the Middle East:

Good evening (or good morning here in my case)! My name is Michael, I'm currently deployed to the Middle East. I would like to purchase an engagement ring before I get back to the states so I can propose to my gf! I've been on pricescope quite a bit and you have come highly recommended, so I'm hoping you can help me out! 🙂

Michael wanted a 3 stone princess cut trellis ring. We e-mailed back and forth in the middle of the night and he even put a call through to us at 4 a.m. CT! We sourced him 3 GIA certified Princess cut diamonds and created a beautiful 18K white gold three stone trellis engagement ring for his girlfriend Lori. All he had to go by were the e-mails and pictures of the process along the way.

When he got back to the USA in September we shipped the ring to him and did not hear back from him until last week when we received a very warm e-mail and the beautiful pictures below.

From Michael:

Hi Lesley,

I apologize for the huge delay in getting back to you and Brian, but wanted to follow up with you, and include a word from Lori. She absolutely loved the ring and the engagement was perfect! We cannot express enough gratitude for walking me through the ring buying process while deployed, I never thought I'd be comfortable buying an engagement ring sight unseen, but I would recommend you and Brian to anyone, you two were an excellent team from start to finish, I never doubted for a moment that we'd get a ring that was anything less than what we wanted. Thank you! Lori has not stopped staring at the ring, it gets so many comments. We even went into Tiffany's to get ideas for wedding bands and we couldn't help but notice how much this ring sparkled compared to their diamonds, the jewelers even commented on it! Below is a message from Lori too, she wanted to thank you in person.

And after this experience, we couldn't think of anyone else we would rather have make our wedding bands than you and Brian! We have a general idea of what we want and have included pics. We look forward to working with the both of you, and are excited to see your next creations! Thank you again!- Michael

From Lori…

Dear Lesley and Brian Gavin,

I first of all would like to say thank you for the amazing work you did with my engagement ring. I absolutely love my three stone trellis style ring, and it is so much more than I could have ever dreamed. It suits the amazing man that proposed to me in October! My words may not be enough to explain this overwhelming experience, but I hope the pictures will do the job. Michael had a photographer catch the moment of his proposal!

We are so happy with the ring and customer service you provided Michael in creating this perfect ring, that we also are interested in you creating our wedding bands. Michael and I have spent a lot of time looking at wedding bands, and feel that we have a good idea of what we would like. We of course, trust your judgment and would appreciate your thoughts on what would work best with the engagement ring I already have. We would love to hear your opinion, and maybe some possible pricing for rings. Thank you again for the amazing work you did on my engagement ring, and we look forward to hearing from you! Best Regards, Lori
