Claire is an Irish girl I met here in Dubai, her love story is one of those new fairy tales.
After having her heart broken by a long term boyfriend, she flew to Abu Dhabi to visit her friend Shauna, who was here with her fiancee. Shauna's fiancee Dave lived with an Englishman named Mark and when Mark and Claire met it was love at first sight! So, Claire moved out to Abu Dhabi to explore her relationship with her charming Englishman. Things went well and it did not take Mark long (just six months in fact) to realise that he had met the love of his life, the one.
This is their engagement story in Claire's words:
"We'd only been together about 6 months, he booked a surprise night away in Qasr Al Sarab hotel. The ring was in the boot of the car the whole way there but obviously I had no idea. We had a nice chilled day and had booked a meal in a posh restaurant there...then it started going wrong...we got to the restaurant and I decided I didn't like anything on the menu so we ended up eating in the buffet restaurant (not very romantic ha) plus it was a dry night so no wine. Mark got called out at one point although I had no idea what for. Turns out he had asked them to bring the ring to our balcony with a bottle of champagne and some flowers so it would be waiting for us when we got back from dinner...but they couldn't find it so had to call him out...he made up something about his credit card which I didn't question. Dinner finished pretty quickly so Mark was worried they wouldn't have everything ready in time. Anyway we went back to the room and I suggested we go on to the balcony to take a photo, playing right in to his plan and that's when I saw the Tiffany box sitting on the table...the rest is history :-)"
What a lovely story!

Claire's Tiffany classic round cut engagement ring - simply beautiful x
For me the story behind a piece of jewellery is so wonderful and adds so much to the beautiful gemstone.
