Love is commonly expressed as the feeling of being lifted or flying high—for Richard and Jessie, that is absolutely true. Richard flew over Queensland, Australia, with his girlfriend Jessie on what she thought was just an adventurous sight seeing venture. Jessie had no idea that as soon as she lifted off the ground her life would change.

Richard contacted us last summer in need of assistance in finding the perfect ring to propose with. Our team helped Richard select a sparkling 1.192 J VS2 Brian Gavin Blue diamond to set in a palladium Sholdt "Minnie" setting. The four-prong solitaire setting beautifully held the Hearts and Arrows diamond Richard planned to propose to Jessie with.

The proposal was flawless and meticulously planned. Richard scheduled for the couple to take a ride over Whitsunday Island in Queensland. During the 45-minute private helicopter ride, the couple soared over Heart Reef, a heart shaped reef in the Great Barrier Reef. When Richard and Jessie touched ground, they landed for a picnic, complete with champagne. He proposed on gorgeous Whitehaven Beach—if you can't guess, she without a doubt said "yes."
