Stephanie & Liam’s Engagement

Here, at Abrecht Bird Jewellers, when the time comes for colleagues to get engaged, there is a lot of sneaking around and secrecy. Liam contacted Peter at the start of June to get the ball rolling with my engagement ring. Liam obviously couldn’t use his name, otherwise I would know, so Peter came up with the alias ‘Leigh Dudman’. Peter then organised a few diamond choices for me to collect ‘for the client’ – little did I know that one of them was going to be my diamond!
Something that we offer our clients to add that extra little personal touch is a workshop experience – they can come into our workshop and work with our jewellers to start their piece. Liam was no exception to this rule. However, what made things difficult was he couldn’t come into our office as I would be there. Yuki works from home on Thursdays, so he took an afternoon off work and met Yuki at her home to help roll out the band.

Cut to a month and a half later, with me still having no idea, we take a trip to the Mornington Peninsula. Just before dinner, we take a drive to the top of Arthurs Seat, where there is a secluded statue of Matthew Flinders.
Liam sets up his phone to take a ‘timed photo’, but in reality he sets it up to record a video! Thanks to Yuki, Peter and Greg for all
their help in making the surprise a possibility! Learn more about our jewellery workshop experience here or email us today to make an appointment.
