Handpicked with Love: Ryan’s Custom Engagement Ring & Proposal

Ryan + Samantha

At Yates Jewelers, we believe there’s something incredibly special about being part of a love story from the very beginning—especially when it starts with a visit to our store.

Recently, we had the pleasure of helping Ryan find the perfect engagement ring for the love of his life. He came into our showroom with a clear vision and a heart full of intention. No detail was overlooked—Ryan personally hand-selected both the diamond and the setting, making the entire ring a deeply meaningful reflection of his commitment.

The ring he chose? A timeless and elegant 14k white gold French-set band, designed to catch the light from every angle. At the center: a breathtaking 2-carat oval diamond, chosen for its brilliance, shape, and character. The French-set style adds a delicate row of diamonds along the band—subtle yet sparkling, classic yet completely unforgettable. 

With ring in hand and excitement in his heart, Ryan planned a proposal that was as thoughtful as the ring itself. He popped the question in the peaceful, scenic town of French Camp—a setting that speaks to quiet beauty, meaningful moments, and unforgettable memories. We can only imagine the joy and surprise that followed when he opened that box and asked the question that changed everything. 

At Yates Jewelers, we’re honored to have played a small part in such a big moment. Helping Ryan bring his vision to life—selecting the diamond, finalizing the setting, and watching the story unfold—is why we love what we do.
