We’ve got a sweet story to share from a Christmas in sunny Bali. Our wonderful patron, Alexandra Duggan, was totally surprised with an amazing engagement ring, thanks to her partner, Tiffany Papaemanouil, teaming up with our talented jewellers.
Alex couldn’t wait to tell the world in an adorable social media post, saying, “A forever thing…officially!” She also shared a gorgeous photo of her aquamarine ring, which she says is the perfect symbol of their love. What Alex didn’t know at that time was that Tiffany had been planning this perfect ring with our skilled team at Bell & Brunt for about six months
Reflecting on the special story behind her engagement ring, Alex, who shines both as a marketer and a model, shared, “Tiff spent almost six months designing the ring with Bell & Brunt Jewellers. She picked the prettiest blue aquamarine because it’s Tiff’s birthstone – so I’ll always have a piece of her with me.” Isn’t that just the sweetest gesture? It’s more than a ring; it’s a perpetual symbol of Tiffany, woven into the very essence of their love.
Here’s an interesting twist: Alex’s bond with Bell & Brunt was serendipitous. After a memorable photoshoot with us, she was so taken by the experience that she suggested us to Tiffany. “I mentioned the brand to Tiff, so she went to them to make the engagement ring because I had spoken so highly of the people involved. Fortunately, since I had done the shoot with them so they already had all of my ring sizes!”
At Bell & Brunt, this engagement ring story epitomises our collaborative and personal approach. Tiffany, whose dream design was made into reality by our skilled team shared her joy: “Words cannot describe the happiness and emotions I felt when I first viewed the ring that I always dreamt of creating for my now beautiful fiancée.” It’s more than just crafting jewellery; it’s about infusing emotions and stories into each piece.
Reflecting on her ring, Alex gushed, “It’s the most perfect thing in the world and definitely the start of a family heirloom.” That’s the spirit of Bell & Brunt – not just creating jewellery but crafting memories and legacies.

Let’s talk about the ring specifics! This engagement ring is a true masterpiece – an 18ct Yellow Gold wide band with a personalised hand-engraved pattern showcasing an emerald cut aquamarine stone. Beyond its stunning looks, it tells a story of love, dedication, and the skilled hands at Bell & Brunt turning dreams into wearable art.
A Beautiful Full-Circle Moment For Tiffany
Christmas 2024 brought another magical surprise—this time, Alex turned the tables. In a beautiful full-circle moment, she surprised Tiffany by teaming up with us again to create a similar engagement ring for her. Alex proposed to Tiffany among family and friends, and Tiff couldn’t help but share her joy on Instagram, posting:
“I always imagined being the one to propose and Christmas Day last year became the best day of my life when Alex said yes to spending the rest of her life by my side. I thought things couldn’t get any sweeter until yesterday… A big thank you to family and friends that came together to make the proposal video, it meant the world to me. An even bigger thank you to Bell & Brunt for working with us over the past 2 years to create our rings that we will cherish forever. Why have one ring of our dreams when we could have two?”
We are so honoured to have been a part of this beautiful journey and to have created not just one, but two stunning rings to symbolise their love. Here’s to Alex and Tiffany, and the forever memories they’ll cherish!
