Just wanted to share the news that Ruaan and I are engaged! He was carrying the little mustard box with him for months waiting for the perfect moment. He proposed yesterday early morning while drinking tea on the beach in a special spot up North with our feet full of sand.
I wanted to thank you again for my Lira. I am so struck by how she changes from different angles - like a piece of art that has different things to say. Also the silk, velvet, sketch, pouch - everything is so thoughtful and beautiful.
We honestly couldn’t believe how smooth the whole process was. From the very first coffee with Alla, it felt personal and stress-free. She walked us through every stage of designing our engagement ring, and when it finally arrived, it was beyond anything we imagined. The diamond sparkles in every light and the craftsmanship is flawless. Friends keep asking who created it – we’re so proud to say it was BÓHDAN.
I can’t stop staring at my hand! Every time the light hits my ring, I just smile. Alla was approachable, kind, and so patient with our endless questions. The way she translated our ideas into something so elegant and timeless was incredible. It’s not only the beauty of the ring, but also knowing how carefully it was made. For the size of the diamond and the quality of the gold, the price and approach and service were unbelievable.
From start to finish, Alla made us feel at ease. She has this gift of making a complicated process feel joyful and creative. She kept us updated on every single step from sketches, to CAD, to polishing – so we were part of the story. When the ring was finally in our hands, it was better than anything we could find in a shop window. People literally stop us to ask where it’s from.

We searched for months and nothing felt quite right, until we found Alla. She really listened to our story and designed something that feels like us. The craftsmanship is breathtaking. Every detail is perfect. For the diamond size and quality, we assumed it would be out of reach. But Alla made it possible and we’ll treasure this forever.
