Our Stories — Joshua & Rachael

We had the pleasure of catching up with Joshua & Rachael, a beloved K&K couple, to hear the beautiful story of their proposal in Bali & why they entrusted Kate & Kole to craft their forever ring.
Keep reading for our conversation.

How did you find out about Kate & Kole?

"I think I first saw Kate & Kole on instagram when I was looking for inspiration."

Why did you choose to work with us? Was there anything in particular that drew you and your partner to our brand?

"We loved the simple, timeless designs of your engagement rings, easy fuss-free design & ordering process. The ability to order a trial box to try different styles was fantastic as well as we live in rural NSW. Josh's family live near Newcastle so it was also convenient to choose a jeweller close to a place we visit frequently, as our options for jewellers locally were quite limited."

Which ring did you choose for your forever piece, and why?

"We chose an oval solitaire in a rose gold 4-claw setting, as I wanted a classic, simple design that will stand the test of time & I love rose gold jewellery. Josh & I discussed my dream ring over a year ago & then I left it in his hands, so I would still be surprised when the proposal came around. I knew what the ring would look like but I was not expecting the 4 carat diamond that Josh chose!"

What was your favourite part of your Kate & Kole experience?

"Josh said the ordering & design process was seamless & the communication with the team was great. Josh took his Mum & Nan to pick up the ring, the personal touches of the beautiful gift box & mini champagne were wonderful. Nan kept the champagne & popped it when we told her the big news."

Tell us a little bit about your proposal.

"We were in Bali with 7 of our closest friends, celebrating the end of my medical degree. We had arranged for the villa chef to cook dinner for us one night & my best friend had conveniently suggested we get our hair done & dress up for the dinner (the clues were adding up but I didn't want to get my hopes up!) My friend came to collect me for dinner & as I walked downstairs the curtains surrounding the terrace were pulled back to show Josh waiting, surrounded by flowers & rose petals. It was absolutely perfect & more than I ever imagined, we were able to celebrate with our close friends that night which made it even more special."
