Michaela's Champagne Diamond Solis Ring
We had the pleasure of collaborating with Dan to create a gorgeous and unique engagement ring for Michaela — a stunning Champagne Diamond Solis Ring.  Dan organised an intimate proposal (and photographer to capture the moment) and surprised Michaela in the most beautiful way!

 

How did you meet?
Michaela - I had just gotten off a flight from New York and decided I needed to make an appearance in a uni elective I had already missed two weeks of. Jet lagged and feeling terrible I walked into the classroom and sitting there with his long curly hair was Dan (a guy I had matched with on Tinder a few months prior). We had chatted but hadn’t been able to secure a date. Needless to say after a few embarrassed glances at each other we started talking again and the rest is history. I like to think fate had a little something to do with it.

 

What are your star signs?
I’m a sensitive Pisces and Dan’s a big hearted Leo.

Tell us about the proposal, was Michaela surprised?
Dan - I knew I wanted to surprise Michaela in a big way, so I organised a friend to send an enquiry through to her photography business (AM For Love Studio) for a photoshoot to take place in the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. She accepted the job for the 17th of December and my plans began.
I planted the seed that it was bring your dog to work day coming up so on the morning of the “photoshoot” I pretended to go to work as normal, but with our dog Frankie. Michaela was scheduled to meet for her shoot at a specific location pinned in google maps that I had gotten my friend to send her.
When she arrived she saw me standing there with Frankie down on one knee. I had also organised her friend Liz (Liz Barnes Photo) to capture the whole thing. Michaela was so surprised and very emotional. It was perfect.

How did you feel when you first saw your ring?
Michaela - Absolutely overwhelmed and so in love! I couldn’t believe it was mine to look at on my finger for the rest of my life. It was perfect in every way and so much better than I ever could have imagined. My only request I had hinted to Dan was that when the time came to propose I didn’t want my ring to be traditional as it just wouldn’t feel like me. He nailed it, obviously!

Dan, how did you find your experience with RUUSK and choosing the Solis Ring for Michaela?
Dan - My experience with RUUSK was fantastic. They made everything feel so easy and gave me great faith that they would create a truly beautiful piece that Michaela would treasure forever. It was very exciting going through the whole process with RUUSK and choosing a stone that was right for her. Once we decided on a Champagne diamond I loved getting to see and select exactly which one would be set in her ring as they are all so unique.

What excites you most about this exciting next chapter of life together?  
We can’t wait to get married, start a family (we'll add to our family which already includes us and our fur baby Frankie) and continue to experience life together, creating beautiful memories.

RUUSK COUPLE: GRACE + DILLON

RUUSK COUPLE: GRACE + DILLON

Grace and Dillon's love story unfolded like a gentle sunrise – quiet, steady, and full of wonder. When Grace and Dillon first crossed paths at a local climbing gym, there was an ease between them, a spark of joy in every encounter, and a sense that something meaningful had begun. In the years since, their story has grown through kindness, curiosity, shared adventures, and a love that feels like home. From spontaneous road trips to the quiet magic of sunrises in the Grand Tetons, every chapter has been written with intention, joy, and deep connection. Today, we’re honoured to share a glimpse into their journey. When you first crossed paths, what stood out - was it something said, a shared laugh, or just a quiet feeling that this person might be significant? Dillon said he thought I seemed fun and a little mysterious, haha. I distinctly remember thinking, the first time I met him, how genuinely kind he seemed. Every time I saw him at the climbing gym, I felt so happy to see him and excited to chat. There’s always been such a calm, quiet knowing in our relationship – like a steady sense that this is the person I want to be with. It’s always been an easy, wholehearted “yes.   What’s something about your relationship that makes you feel more like yourself? Or has helped you grow into a better version of who you are? Dillon has always accepted me exactly as I am, and that has meant the world to me. No one has shown me as much kindness or compassion as he has. Grace has helped me become more aware of myself and who I am. In our relationship, I’ve become more open-minded, patient, and kind. The hard edges I may have had before are softer now – and I’m better for it. Grace has helped me notice the unseen wonders of the world and appreciate that they exist. My worldview has expanded because of her.   Is there a memory (big or small) that feels like a turning point in your story together? • Meeting at the climbing gym on a random morning in May, before we started dating. We connected over our love  of food and good restaurants – and happened to be the only two people at the gym that afternoon, a detail  Grace has always thought was sweet. • A spontaneous road trip to Colorado to climb a 14er (a mountain over 14,000 feet), which later became the place  we’d call home. • Getting our dog, Sunny    Grace and Dillon, how did the proposal unfold? Looking back, what made it feel true to the two of you? We go to Jackson, WY almost every year now, usually to Grand Teton National Park. Teton has some notoriously difficult campgrounds to book – Jenny Lake specifically – especially if you don’t do it six months in advance or more. Our anniversary is in July, and this year we planned a road trip to Utah and Wyoming. Dillon set several notifications for Jenny Lake, hoping that in a stroke of good fortune, a site would open up and we’d get to stay there for the first time. (Note: Jenny Lake is really special to us. Not only is it stunningly beautiful, but we usually end our hikes by jumping into the perfect, clear, icy blue water – it’s the perfect end to a hike.) Luckily, a campsite opened and Dillon managed to book it within 30 seconds of getting the notification. When we arrived at the Tetons, Dillon made sure I thought we had a site at a place we’d been to before – but as we drove up, he revealed the surprise that we’d be staying at one of our “holy grail” campgrounds. That evening, Dillon told me he wanted to watch the sunrise over Jenny Lake and the Tetons, which is another key tradition of our trips. Throughout the day, he was quietly scouting spots for the proposal, looking for a location that felt right and had the potential for a little privacy. The next morning, we woke up at 5 AM and walked from the campground to the rocky shore of Jenny Lake, with an incredible view of The Grand in front of us. Dillon was so nervous during the 30-minute wait for the official sunrise and the light to hit the peaks that he was shaking (though that may have also been from the cold, haha). When the sunlight finally began to hit the snowy peaks, and the perfectly calm water reflected the mountains and sky, we stood there taking in the view with no one else around. That’s when Dillon got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was a moment that held our shared history, so many of our favourite things, and felt like the sun rising on the next chapter of our lives.

A life built on shared growth and deep comfort – where we support each other fully, keep discovering new things together, and create a rhythm that feels uniquely our own!

RUUSK COUPLE: LUCY + PADDY

RUUSK COUPLE: LUCY + PADDY

From a golden-hour surf at Bells Beach to dreamy tinnie trips, long-distance adventures, and a surprise proposal on the water – Lucy and Paddy’s love story feels like something out of a sun-drenched film reel. With a shared love of the sea, slow moments, and spontaneous plans, their relationship has grown from laughter and lightness into something deeply grounded. They shared with us a glimpse into their story – the moments that shaped their connection, the beautiful balance they bring to each other’s lives, and the sweet (and clever) proposal that brought them full circle. What was one of the first things you noticed about each other that made you think, “I want to get to know this person better”? LUCY We first met at Bells Beach on a dreamy Sunday afternoon – the surf was glassy, the air was warm, and that golden hour light was just magic. I was catching up with a mutual friend, Tao, in the carpark when Paddy rocked up as we were getting suited up. Funny thing is, Tao had actually mentioned Paddy before, saying we should meet because of our shared love for boating and similar interests. So it felt serendipitous when he appeared. It turned into one of those fun, light-hearted surfs – wave after wave, so many laughs, and Paddy doing headstands on his board just for the fun of it (I was very impressed). Afterwards, we cracked a beer and watched the sunset turn the sky pink and lilac. That’s when he asked me if I wanted to go out on his tinnie that week. That was the moment. This goofy, insightful, adventurous soul had me completely intrigued. And as for that first date on the tinnie? A full moon, a few beers, another fiery sunset... it was beautiful. PADDY On our first date we went out on my little tinny. Where we live in Torquay you have to launch it off the beach which can be a bit tricky sometimes. I’m used to holding people’s hand through the process because not many people have done it before and have no idea what’s going on which can be dangerous. But this time was different, as soon as the trailer hit the water Goose was on to it. She pulled the boat off the trailer, turned the bow in to the waves, and waded out to hold the boat in deeper water to wait for me to drop off the car. I just stood there silently thinking ‘wow…this is rare.’ In what ways do you feel like your partner compliments you, or brings out qualities in you that you didn’t expect? LUCY Paddy has this beautiful balance of being deeply compassionate and wonderfully quirky. He brings such a caring, thoughtful perspective to everything – and somehow blends that effortlessly with his playful, witty side. He makes every adventure brighter and taps into that childlike part of life that’s so easy to forget. He constantly surprises me – whether it’s making me laugh out loud with a perfectly timed comment, bringing home a record or sending a song that captures a feeling or moment so precisely. There’s a little magic in the way he adds thoughtfulness and spontaneity to every day. And where he brings heart and humour, I bring the wild plans – I love surprising him, dreaming up our next adventure, and making it all happen seamlessly. We complement each other by showing up, lifting each other up, and making space for playfulness, every single day. PADDY Goose is extremely proactive and organised and I very much exist in the moment and like to enjoy the opportunities that present themselves. I think we both help each other in this way. I help Lucy slow down and she helps me to speed up. When it comes to adventures I’m very practical and love to dive deep on the tools and equipment we need to have the best time – but Goose thinks about all those elements that brings that experience to another level. For example I’ll make sure we have all the gear we need to get there and stay warm, and Lucy will make sure we have a cheese board ready and at the most opportune time to soak in the view or sunset.   What’s one experience you've had together that has really shaped your relationship and made you both grow as a couple? LUCY Early in our relationship, Paddy was relocated to Queenstown, New Zealand for a year – so we found ourselves navigating long distance right in the middle of the honeymoon phase. Whilst we missed each other, it was one of the best things that could have happened. Our communication was incredible, and every visit felt like a concentrated burst of connection, adventure, and quality time. I’d fly over for 2–3 week stints, and we’d make the most of every moment – snowboarding, hiking, exploring new places. We would make up for all of our missed dates while apart and snow tour at sunrise on the peaks above Queenstown, have wine and cheeseboards on the banks of crystal clear lakes, hike to natural hot springs along azure rivers, all surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Those experiences solidified our relationship. They taught us how to communicate, how to stay connected from afar, and gave us a foundation of shared memories that we’ll always hold close. PADDY Early in our relationship I got asked to move to New Zealand for work. We’d only been seeing each other for 5 months at the time but we had to make the decision of whether to commit to a year of long-distance. Thankfully we did because it was one of the best things we did as a couple. There was no insecurity, no ‘why didn’t you text me today’, no jealousy. We both understood that each of us had our own things going on and had complete trust in each other. When it comes to relationships I often think ‘if it’s easy, it’s right’ – and although it was hard to be apart, the communication and trust always felt easy and that’s the most important thing. Lucy, can you describe the moment when you decided that you wanted to propose to Paddy? We had just bought a new tinnie and ambitiously thought we’d refit the whole engine and electrical setup in a weekend – classic us. It ended up taking a month of solid work, with Paddy doing most of the intricate installs, teaching himself as he went. I was genuinely blown away by his tenacity, patience, and the care he poured into turning that boat into something magical – a vessel for adventures, camping trips, and memories yet to come. One afternoon, as we were tinkering with the motor and laughing at how many trips to Road Tech Marine we had endured (after forgetting something, again) and just enjoying the process, I had this quiet moment of clarity. Among the tools, tangled wires, and shared purpose, I just knew: once this boat was ready, I wanted to propose to him in it. On the water. Somewhere remote. Doing what we love most. The idea formed: I’d hide the ring on a fishing lure. (Don’t worry – it was tied with clear line and to my wrist… just in case it went overboard!) Fast forward to a dreamy weekend at Gypsy Point – warm and not a breath of wind. We’d been catching flathead after flathead when I asked Paddy to help me with a “snagged lure.” He came over, saw the ring, and I asked, “Do you want to keep fishing together forever?” It was perfect. A moment – and a story – we’ll be telling for a long time. Even more special, it brought us full circle – back to where it all began, our first date on the water. Now that you’re engaged, what part of your future together excites you the most? Is there something you’re particularly looking forward to? LUCY Dancing through this life of adventure with my perfect partner – that’s what excites me most. The future feels so full: of surf sessions, fishing trips, discovering hidden camping spots under starry skies, and cozy nights in at our new place, spinning records. Paddy’s always up for taking the more adventurous route – and I love that about him, because I’m the same. The week I proposed was a double up of life events – we also bought a house! We’re currently renovating it, and we can’t wait to move in and create a space that reflects us, where we can keep growing together. That’s our next big chapter – along with our wedding next year, which we’re dreaming up as one big, love-filled party. PADDY We recently bought our first home, so I’m looking forward to just us living together and creating out own little nest…but with that said I’m just excited for a life-time of fun! We both love getting out there, getting after it, and having a whole lot of fun. The ideas never stop and I just know that a life with Goose will be a really, really good time.
