Hans & Miranda: their love story in a custom-made engagement ring
A love that started over coffee
Sometimes the most beautiful love stories begin in the most ordinary places. For Hans and Miranda, it all started at work. No dating apps, no blind dates—just a shared morning coffee and jokes that slowly grew into something more.
Hans had been working in the IT department of a large logistics company for years when Miranda joined as the new communications officer. She stood out immediately: her contagious laugh, her sharp sense of humour. “It started with teasing at the coffee machine,” Miranda recalls. “Until I found myself looking forward to Monday mornings.”
Hans felt the same: “I’m not someone who easily talks about feelings, but with Miranda, everything just felt… right.”
From colleagues to a couple
After months of jokes, flirting and shared lunches, sparks truly flew during a company outing. “An evening by the campfire, music, casual conversations… and suddenly, we just knew,” Hans remembers. “There was no doubt—it simply felt right.”
The proposal: among files and memories
Two years later, Hans chose a proposal location full of meaning—their workplace. “I made a small photo album of funny moments we shared,” he says. “On the last page, it said: ‘Shall we create the rest of our memories together?’”
Miranda laughs: “I was literally holding a report when he went down on one knee. I was completely overwhelmed. Of course, I said yes.”
A sustainable engagement ring that suits her perfectly
For Hans, one thing was clear: the engagement ring had to reflect who Miranda is. Something unique, something personal. After a lot of research, he found DiamondsByMe, known for creating custom-designed rings.
He chose the Marilou engagement ring in rose gold, set with lab-grown diamonds—a conscious choice. Elegant, warm and sustainable—just like Miranda.
“When I got it, I was so surprised,” Miranda says. “Not just because of the proposal, but because of the ring itself. It’s so beautiful, so perfectly chosen—I fell in love instantly. So much that I kept wearing it as my wedding ring.”
Personal wedding rings with a story
For their wedding day, they picked a ring for Hans together: model WH0334M24X, a stylish bicolour ring in yellow and rose gold. “It felt really special to finish this chapter together,” Hans says. “Now we both wear a ring with a story—and it feels special every single day.”
