Love Stories - Samantha & Stephen

Samantha & Stephen

08.15.2025

Welcome to the beautiful love story of Samantha & Stephen!

"We met 9 years ago while I was bartending at a local bar that him and his buddies would go to occasionally after work. We got to know each other and he finally asked me out on a date after a long night of working and the rest is history."

The Ring Details

Samantha's Engagement Ring is a 3ct Round Brilliant Diamond with a Floral Halo and her grandmothers diamonds in the peek-a-boo part. Her wedding band is a custom 3-row Marquise and Round Brilliant Diamond Band. Stephen's ring is a 14K White Gold and Gray Tantalum Beveled Edge Wedding Band from Bleu Royal.
