When it comes to unforgettable proposal locations, few places on earth rival the breathtaking, turquoise waters and dramatic mountain peaks of Banff, Canada.
We recently had the absolute honor of helping a client create a custom engagement ring for a dream proposal in Banff. While the backdrop was undeniably picturesque, the ring itself was the true showstopper—a bespoke 2.75ct Oval Diamond Engagement Ring packed with personal meaning and secret details.
Here is a look behind the scenes at how we brought this custom engagement ring design to life.
The Vision: Timeless Luxury with a Hidden Personal Touch
Our client came to us looking for a classic, high-impact design that balanced timeless luxury with modern elegance. The vision was clear: a showstopping oval centerpiece, a sleek pavé band, and an ultra-exclusive element that belonged solely to the couple.
Key Ring Specs:
-
Center Stone: 2.75 Carat Oval Diamond
-
Color & Clarity: E Color, VVS1 Clarity
-
Metal: 14K Solid White Gold
-
Band: Delicate Diamond Pavé

Custom Detail: 14 Hidden Secret Diamonds along the bridge
The Details: 2.75ct E VVS1 Oval Diamond
The star of the show is an extraordinary 2.75-carat oval diamond. Graded E Color and VVS1 Clarity, this stone offers exceptional brilliance, fire, and virtually flawless clarity.
Oval cut diamonds remain one of the most sought-after shapes for modern brides due to their elongated silhouette, which flatters the finger and maximizes surface area for maximum sparkle. Set in 14K White Gold, the cool-toned precious metal naturally enhances the icy brilliance of the E-color diamond.

The Secret: 14 Hidden Diamonds Under the Bridge
While the top-down view of the ring boasts classic sophistication, the side profile hides a bespoke secret.
Tucked quietly beneath the center stone along the bridge are 14 micro-set secret diamonds.
At Carter Eve Jewelry, we love incorporating secret details—whether it’s a hidden birthstone, an engraved date, or subtle accent diamonds like these—that hold a private meaning known only to the couple. It elevates a traditional engagement ring into an intimate heirloom with a story woven directly into the metal.


The Moment: She Said YES in Banff!
With the ring finished and securely packaged, the couple took off for the Canadian Rockies. Surrounded by the majestic landscapes of Banff, he popped the question—and she said a resounding YES!
Seeing our custom rings out in the wild during life's most meaningful milestones is easily the most rewarding part of what we do.
