The Stars of Our Christmas Campaign Reveal Their Love Story

Devoted to each other, uncover the beautiful story of Sophie and Ben’s engagement

The stars of our Ernest Jones Christmas campaign, Sophie and Ben began an unconventional whirlwind romance, here is how their love story unfolded. When they first met it was almost instantaneous; the spark was ignited, they couldn’t keep their eyes off each other, and they mutually felt they’d found their perfect match.

Sophie would be the first to admit she felt a deep connection with Ben, something way beyond pure physical attraction, she loved who he was and how they were together and realised the feeling was mutual. They became a couple very quickly and decided to move in together after just two weeks. Although the world thought they may be rushing things, they knew how deep their connection was. It truly was love at first sight. Despite reservations from family and friends, they wanted to be true to themselves and acknowledge their feelings they progressed the relationship at their own pace.

Ben knew he’d found the woman of his dreams and took the leap of faith to find her a beautiful engagement ring, to symbolise their deep connection and devotion.

He chose Ernest Jones to find the ring of her dreams and proposed with a stunning 18ct White Gold 1ct Diamond Marquise Cluster Engagement Ring. The reason this engagement ring is so special, is because of its unique marquise diamond shape, which makes it stand out from the crowd. It has the beauty of elongating the finger elegantly. This ring also features brilliant-cut diamonds, which creates a dazzling ray of light which radiates in perfect harmony when clustered together to create a marquise shape.

The marquise has been popular for many centuries and celebrities have favoured its unique appearance; David Beckham proposed to Victoria Beckham with a stunning $70,000 marquise ring and Catherine Zeta-Jones also has a striking 10-carat marquise with a unique horizontal positioning to create an alternative to the art-deco inspired shape.

Ben also received a gift he’ll cherish for life. Before their honeymoon, Sophie surprised him with a TAG Heuer Exclusive Formula 1 Limited Edition Watch. The stylish design with a grey dial, stainless steel and grey ceramic bracelet radiates luxury, perfect for the day and night. Created in 1987, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 collection has become iconic its prestige, performance and avant-garde technology make it the perfect watch for him to cherish forever.
